Overacheivers vs. Underacheivers: Week 4

So, last week I nailed some big time predictions, namely Steve Smith (16 total yards), Ronnie Brown (112 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs, 99 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD, 1 2-pt Conversion), and Frank Gore (51 total yards). But, while I nailed some big ones I lost some other ones and my total percentage fell to 56% on the season. Here's where I reenact Week 2 when I got 10 of 12 correct.

Better Than Usual: QBs

Jon Kitna - DET vs. CHI - Yeah, I know, they are technically the Bears, but damn near every important cog in their defense is banged up or out. This weekend we will watch the LIONS defeat the NFC champs. Won't THAT be something, Bears fans?

Alex Smith - SF vs. SEA - The former sleeper pick, and current dirty secret of fantasy prognosticators everywhere, actually looked decent in a hammering from Pittsburgh last week. With the 3rd worst pass defense in town and cry baby Vernon Davis sitting, Alex might have some people saying, "See, I told you so!" this Sunday.

Worse Than Usual: QBs

Carson Palmer - CIN vs. NE - I was right about Palmer last week, and I'm right about him again this week. He looked sluggish and bad last week, and New England's defense won't remedy that. If nothing else Chad Johnson will have another week to figure out his next ridiculous act of attention whoredom.

Peyton Manning - IND vs. DEN - Peyton must be tired from his 700,000 different commercials, because he's playing like he could use a nap. No, he's not down to Eli level, but he's sure not the Peyton people were drafting. Against the Bronco's defense expect to be underwhelmed again.

Better Than Usual: RBs

Willis McGahee - BAL @ CLE - Man, it's slim pickin's in the RB pool this week with so many not playing due to injury or bye weeks. But, McGahee has looked good this season and Cleveland couldn't stop a dead rat from rolling uphill with the 2nd worst rush defense in the league.

Thomas Jones - NYJ @ BUF - He looked really good for the first time this season last week. Not Ronnie Brown good, but good nonetheless. This week the questionable Jets o-line faces the worst rush defense in the league. So, in a league where at least 5 big name RBs went down with injuries last week and with bye weeks starting this week, Thomas Jones should fill a hole nicely.

Worse Than Usual: RBs

Brian Leonard - STL @ DAL - A lot of people are very high on Brian Leonard. I'm one of them. But, this is not the week to expect huge numbers. Dallas is #8 against the rush, St. Louis has a shoddy defense. Dallas is the #1 points scorer in the league, St. Louis has a shoddy defense. It's gonna be pass, pass, pass the whole game for the Rams.

Adrian Peterson - MIN vs. GB - The early pick for Rookie Of The Year will be facing the first real NFL defense he's seen in his career (they've faced Atlanta, Detroit, and Kansas City). Green Bay is #10 against the run and should put up a good fight against Minnesota's monster o-line.

Better Than Usual: WRs

Santonio Holmes - PIT @ ARI - Hines Ward is doubtful for Week 4 and Heath Miller is their only other legitimate passing threat. Arizona's not the worst passing defense, but when you're the only legitimate threat for yardage, expect a solid day of grabbing balls. What?

Lee Evans - BUF vs. NYJ - Dammit, I'm sticking with Lee Evans until I'm right. I'm heavily invested in Lee Evans stock right now, and while it hasn't sunk me yet I don't get warm fuzzies from starting Nate Burleson over my 4th round draft pick. If he doesn't produce this week, I'm cutting anchor.

Worse Than Usual: WRs

Terrell Ownes - DAL vs. STL - Did I say St. Louis has a shoddy defense? Well, it's true. But, I may have forgotten to mention that while they suck at most all aspects of defense, they are #3 in the league against the pass. They actually allow 6 less yards passing (146.0) than they do rushing (152.3) per game. Kind of a strange dynamic.

Chad Johnson - CIN vs. NE - You what my favorite games to watch are? When shortly after half time they flash a graphic across the screen that says something like Chad Johnson or Terrell Owens, 0 receptions today. I love that. Ocho Stinko will be targeted as the Bengals scramble for points, but having Asante Samuel up your ass all day won't be pleasant and Houshmandzadeh gets all the touchdowns anyways.

Overacheivers vs. Underacheivers: Week 3

So, Week 2 of the Over/Underacheivers went well. My only major slips were recommending Patrick Crayton and Donovan McNabb. But, like Meatloaf never said, "2 out of 12 ain't bad." Also, according to the Talented Mr. Roto scale of correctness, over the past 2 weeks, I am 15 for 24 (63% correct). Onward we go to the bargain bin!

Better Than Usual: QBs

Drew Brees - NO vs. TEN - Here it is Brees owners! It's your week for redemption! Tennessee's defense is just awful with 1 INT and 5 Sacks so far this season. Third time is a charm, right Drew?

Jason Campbell - WAS vs. NYG - Last Monday night, Bette Midler visited Campbell and gave him some wind beneath his wings. What is this? Shitty Music Shout Out Day? Ugh! Anyway. He looked great against a very good Philly defense, and will look better with a great game behind him and an awful defense in front of him.

Not So Much: QBs

Carson Palmer - CIN @ SEA - No, I can't tell you to bench Carson Palmer. That's crazy. I can tell you that me might not crest the 17 point benchmark with a much stingier defense and the deafening surroundings of Seattle in his future.

Brett Favre - GB vs. SD - Believe me, San Diego is pissed right now. Look for Shawne Merriman to attempt to murder yet another aging perennial star.

Better Than Usual: RBs

Ronnie Brown - MIA @ NYJ - What's that smell coming from Miami? Ah, Ronnie Brown's point totals from the previous two weeks. Well, Cam Cameron went on record saying they need to focus more on the run, and what better time than when you're playing the 4th worst run defense?

Cedric Benson - CHI vs. DAL - Dallas has given up big time points to the Giants and the Dolphins, a couple of below par JV clubs. Look for Sir Weeps-A-Lot to have himself a nice game at home against America's team on Sunday night.

Not So Much: RBs

Frank Gore - SF @ PIT - The 49ers will be playing from behind after around the 5th minute of the game. From then on, Gore will become just one more brick in the Lego wall trying to keep Alex Smith from being turned into ground beef.

Edgerrin James - ARI @ BAL - Edge has been looking very good lately. Well, that comes to a temporary halt this week. The good news is most people didn't draft Edge as their starter, so good for you!

Better Than Usual: WRs

Reggie Brown - PHI vs. DET - Okay, Donovan's proved his point. See, if I don't throw to our #1 receiver...EVER...we'll lose every time! You are correct, sir! Here's your chance, McNabb, Detroit will have DBs on James Avant, Kevin Curtis, Hank Baskett...hell, they'll probably even put someone on Todd Pinkston at his house. Because EVERYone's gotten the ball more than Brown.

Santana Moss - WAS vs. NYG - I put his QB up here, and he's got to throw somewhere. You know it's gonna be Moss after the two of them made sweet, sweet football love on Monday Night Football. The Giants even know it and STILL won't be able to stop them.

Not So Much: WRs

Steve Smith - CAR @ ATL - DeAngelo Hall LIVES for matchups like this. He hasn't had a superstar to cover yet this season, so look for him to have the taste of blood in his mouth.

Braylon Edwards - CLE @ OAK - I told you to watch for him to do great things last week. This week I'm telling that Oakland's pass defense is very good, expect less than last week.

The Great Racial Divide Amongst Quarterbacks

Recently, Donovan McNabb went on record saying that black quarterbacks are far more scrutinized at their job than white quarterbacks. He went on to say "There's not that many African-American quarterbacks, so we have to do a little bit extra. Because the percentage of us playing this position, which people didn't want us to play ... is low, so we do a little extra."

Once again, I find myself asking, aren't these people who don't want black people as quarterbacks, or as celebrities at all, the same people whose opinion shouldn't matter anyway? There can't be THAT many people whose opinions affect the business life of black athletes, can there? I mean, most of the truly ignorant racists that I see (and in Alabama, they thrive) are trailer scum who want to place the blame of their failure on anyone they can wag their tobacco stained finger at. Why does their opinion even affect anything?

I don't doubt for a second that black QBs face more scrutiny than white QBs, because I've seen it. No one faces more flack when they fail than McNabb and Vince Young. But, let's take the Consortium of White Antagonists out of the equation and see if we can figure out another possible solution this issue, rather than fall back on the easily laid race card. The dividing factor that I've found from looking at the stats is this; it appears that black quarterbacks are far more prone to pulling the football equivalent of splitting kings: the scramble.

Of the 32 NFL franchises in existence currently, there are 26 white starting quarterbacks, and 6 black starting quarterbacks. In 2006, the top 5 rushing yardage totals for quarterbacks went like this: Michael Vick, Vince Young, David Garrard, Charlie Frye, Donovan McNabb. So far in 2007, the top 5 rushing quarterbacks are: Vince Young, Jason Campbell, J.P. Losman, David Garrard, Tony Romo. In 2006, 4 out of 5 are black; in 2007, 3 out of 5. Also, so far in 2007, Tarvaris Jackson is #10 and Donovan McNabb is #12.

So what? Right? Well, the casual fan sees the scramble the same way the observer sees someone at the blackjack table splitting kings. Yes, it's exciting to see happen. The guy could lose it all. But, if you had something vested in that hand, you'd be screaming "YOU NITWIT! STAY! STAY!" Casual fans have their time and loyalty vested in NFL franchises. We love our teams. But, like a business investment (or for the sake of the article, a stake in your blackjack playing friend's winnings), sometimes our investment treats us better than others.

To continue with my blackjack analogy, when faced with a pair of kings, 9.9 times out of 10, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, and Tom Brady will stay. Sometimes they'll stay on a 15 when the dealer's got a queen showing, and you'll say, "DAMMIT! Why didn't you HIT THAT!?" Just like football, when Vince Young and Donovan McNabb get rushed and they're scrambling out of the pocket, they see a line and they start booking upfield. They may lose yardage when they get tackled, they may fumble the ball. When Peyton Manning or Brett Favre get in that same situation they're far more prone to just lob the ball out of bounds and start fresh, no harm, no foul.

The casual fan we love to see the scramble that could break open a huge run. It's exciting, it's fun, but it's high risk, high reward. So, just like the blackjack player prone to doubling down on 15 or splitting kings, hoping for two blackjacks, the scrambler is going to catch far more flack for his style of play than the player who goes out and does what's safe.

It just so happens, according to the statistics, that black players are far more prone to the scramble. There's nothing wrong with that style of play, but you have to accept that it opens you up to far more scrutiny from the people who have invested their time, heart, and loyalty to the franchise. Please stop playing the race card all the time, it doesn't help anything and only slows the progress that happens every day.

This Manning Is An Island: Part 1

“Well, my earliest memory is in the backyard of our house in Metarie. It was June, and I remember it was incredibly hot, even though I was stripped down to just my diaper. My father was practicing his scrambling with a tetherball pole, sometimes driving his shoulder into it and screaming, "Not today, Youngblood!" When he finished his drills then it was time for mine. He just started whipping the ball at me, the whole time screaming, “Get your hands up, Manning! Hands up!” But, that was Archie for you.”

Tired of sluggish two-year old Cooper's poor first practice, Archie finally pulled his wife, Olivia, into the backyard and told her to put Cooper in the crib and to get her “mitts up”. Cooper watched from the crib as his mother was pelted all over her body with short yardage line drives. He didn’t cry for his mother. He didn’t cry because he wasn’t sad. Even at the ripe young age of two, Cooper understood that this was all a part of growing up Manning.

“Archie let mom have the evening off from short yardage drills when her water broke in midstride. But, to make up for the drills she missed, he made her drive herself to the hospital. I can remember Archie telling my mom that if she didn’t ‘spit out a champion’, she was going to owe him a Bull In The Ring session.” Bull In The Ring sessions for Team Manning consisted of Archie standing about ten feet away from Olivia or Cooper and charging them, knocking them to the ground, and as they returned to their feet repeating the process.

Olivia Manning realized that fateful evening that she would never owe the Bull In The Ring session. That night she gave birth to a strapping baby boy and they named him Peyton. It was later on the next morning that Cooper’s role on Team Manning became apparent.

“The nurses had Peyton on the table checking him out, when Peyton yanked the pacifier out of his mouth and hurled it across the room. CLEAR across the room. And it nailed me in the eye. I can remember being inconsolable. Archie shoved the nurses aside, picked Peyton up and said, “Now THAT'S a champion!” Now that I think back on it, that may have been the first time I realized that I was a square peg in the round hole of Team Manning.”

That hole was quickly plugged by younger brother Peyton. As the years passed, it became more apparent that Peyton had become the golden child. Not only was Peyton receiving the majority of Cooper’s drills, including the coveted Bullet Hop session where Archie would whip ball after ball at the bare feet of the children, forcing them to jump or suffer broken toes, but at the age of five, it already seemed that Cooper was ‘being forced into retirement’. He became engulfed in books while the shadow cast over him by his younger brother grew.

“I began reading Hardy Boys mysteries and I had gotten really big into Choose Your Own Adventure books. There was one time that Peyton came trudging into the room while I was reading a particular Choose Your Own Adventure about unicorns, his feet were bruised and bloody, his face was filthy from drills. He said, “Whatcha readin’?” I said, “The Gilded Pegasus.” He said, “Looks like Rainbow Brite. You like unicorns, Coop?” I, of course, said, “No!” But, it didn’t matter, he started laughing and asked where my unicorn was. Do you have any idea what it’s like to have your three-year old brother mocking you about unicorns? It hurt.”

That night at the dinner table, his father joined in, “At dinner that night, Archie held his corn on the cob to his forehead and starting laughing saying, “Hey Coop! I’m your boyfriend the unicorn! Hop on my back and let’s fly to Rainbowland!” He and Peyton just laughed, slapped a high five, and went out into the backyard for more drills. As they left, Archie stuck his head back inside and said, “Help your mother wash the dishes, Sir Reads-A-Lot.”

Over the years, Cooper and his mother formed a bond that couldn’t be formed with his father or Peyton who was quickly showing signs of becoming the superstar that he was destined to become. She showed him how to cross stitch and hem, and they spent many nights sewing up the holes in Peyton’s pants while watching prime time soaps.

“One night, we were watching Falcon Crest and stitching up some of Peyton’s pants that Archie had torn during a Bull In The Ring drill, when Archie came in talking about Peyton “killing the Monceaux’s terrier from sixty yards with a pass”. Archie was floored, he was so swollen with pride he grabbed my mother by the wrist and pulled her into the bedroom. At the time I thought they were doing more drills because I heard a lot of ruckus and Archie screaming, “Make me a champion! Make me a champion!” but now I understand there wasn’t any Bull In The Ring going on in there.”

No, six months later, Olivia was well pregnant with Eli. Each night Archie would lean into her belly and tell the young Manning inside, “Move those feet, Manning!” and laugh maniacally. It was after six constant months of Archie’s daily “in utero drills” that Olivia turned to the booze. It was Archie’s belief that by screaming threats at the fetus within Olivia’s stomach that the young Manning could have a head start on greatness. Archie would lean into Olivia’s stomach and scream “HANDGRENADE!” or “BLITZ! BLITZ! BLITZ!” until the baby squirmed enough to give Archie the feeling of a successful drill session. Olivia found that with a nice double-finger’s worth of scotch before the “in utero drills”, baby Manning would move much quicker, thus ending her participation in the drills.

“When Eli was born, you could tell something just wasn’t right. I mean, he looked like a Manning, and Archie swore he was a champion, but he always had this sullen look. Kind of like he knew he couldn’t be the Manning that Peyton and Archie were, but that he wanted to run with the big dogs all the same. Case in point, when the nurses were checking out Eli, he threw his pacifier, too. But, it just plopped on the floor next to the bassinet, and when it did he lit into a fit of screaming and tears.”

Overacheivers vs. Underacheivers: Week 2

So, my wife says to me as she's reading over my Start 'Em, Sit 'Em style article (formerly known as Checking Your Blind Spots) looking for help with her fantasy team, "You know, this article's funny and helpful and all, but GOD, you're long winded... Do you think maybe people get exhausted reading all of that before they finish?"

Well, after I locked her in the basement for three days as is her usual insolence punishment, I thought to myself, "Self, maybe you could stand to be more succinct." So, here we go!

Better Than Usual - QBs

Donovan McNabb - PHI vs. WAS - Watching Donovan and the Eagles fart around with the Packers last week was painful. Life should be a little easier with that embarrassment under their belt and the world's worst defense rolling into Philly.

Tony Romo - DAL @ MIA - I'm sure after last week's explosion, there's not many who won't be starting Romo this week. But, for those who think he might do a little worse versus a tough Miami defense, keep in mind that they have a tough RUN defense, their pass defense sucks.

Not So Much - QBs

Jon Kitna - DET vs. MIN - Kitna made everyone who was pissed off that they got stuck drafting him as their starting QB very happy last week. This week, probably not so much. He should still see good numbers, but expecting another 3 TDs and nearly 300 yards passing may be a little optimistic against the team who shut down the mighty Harrington.

Drew Brees - NO @ TB - He should do better this week than the second to worst performance by a starting QB in the history of the NFL (Chris Weinke still holds the record). But, don't expect a lot. The Saints will get up early and move to the ground game, and the Bucs are decent against the pass.

Better Than Usual - RBs

Adrian Peterson - MIN @ DET - Most people got to watch Peterson's break out performance occur within the comfort of their fantasy bench. I know most of you have Peterson as your #3 back, but it's time to find a way to make him your #2 this week. Chester Taylor will be limited or out completely, and Detroit's defense is fun for all ages!

Rudi Johnson - CIN @ CLE - You know he's not as bad as he looked Monday night! That was Baltimore! Come on! Where's the love for Rudi? Now we're looking at Cleveland. I ran for 125 against Cleveland last year! Don't question it!

Not So Much - RBs

Chris Brown - TEN vs. IND - Wow! You ran for 175 yards last week! Great! How many TDs? Oh? None at all? Hmmm... You guys are playing Indianapolis next? How did Reggie and Duece do? Mmmmm...that bad, huh? Well, Mr. Brown, you're not Reggie...you're not even Duece, so prepare for the fallout.

Larry Johnson - KC @ CHI - 43 yards rushing against Houston. I think that works out to like negative pi rushing yards against the Bears. He's still Larry Johnson, so anything's possible. But, they're still the Bears, so...okay...not EVERYthing is possible...

Better Than Usual - WRs

Braylon Edwards - CLE vs. CIN - Pittsburgh was able to shut Braylon down last week. But, Pittsburgh can shut most receivers down when they want to. Now, Frye has been traded, Brady's on call, it's put up or Quinn's up time for Derek Anderson. And what better time than against the worst pass defense in the NFL?

Patrick Crayton - DAL @ MIA - The Giants couldn't contain Terrell Owens last week. The Dolphins will be next up to try. While they're busy overcompensating for T.O., Crayton should find himself open plenty.

Not So Much - WRs

Plaxico Burress - NYG vs. GB - Plaxico went off last week despite my warnings against him. Jerk. Well, now Pouty McGee is out with a seperated shoulder replaced by my personal hero, Jared Lorenzen. Lorenzen has cornbread running through his veins, and I love him. But he showed NO quarterback ability on the field last week.

Laveranues Coles - NYJ @ BAL - Pennington is out and Clemens is in...or Clemens is back out and Pennington is in... Depends on which story you're reading. Doesn't matter. Baltimore is in town. Forget that 2 TD performance last week.

Checking Your Blind Spots: Week 1

Well, here it is! The NFL season is roughly 7 hours from starting as I type this, and that means there is very little work being done in companies all across America as employees dutifully scramble through their fantasy rosters hoping to make last minute changes. I would say that your boss would be pissed at you right now, but statistically, your boss is probably doing the same thing. So, while we're on the clock, let me give you the first installment of Check Your Blind Spots of the season. Check Your Blind Spots will go through and show you some things about players you may not think about at first glance to help you set up your line up during the week. These aren't to tell you, "Hey, you should start Trent Green over Peyton Manning!" They're just here to make you feel better about the mediocre...

Quarterbacks

The Gallant Division:

Ben Roethlisberger - PIT vs. CLE - This weekend we'll see Big Ben going against a miserable Cleveland Browns defense that recently saw itself probably lose cornerback Leigh Bodden for the week after he drove the wrong way, in reverse, down a one way street... Shouldn't that somehow equal out to him going the right way? Whatever. The Steelers have some solid targets to throw at, and the Browns couldn't stop The Hamburgler right now, much less Roethlisburgler.

Jake Delhomme - CAR vs. STL - Well, get your kicks in now, because you shouldn't see too much greatness from Delhomme this season. But, this week he plays against a St. Louis defense who, over the past three seasons, ranks #30 in interceptions (12 INTs Per Season) and #30 in Points Allowed (388 Per Season). Barf!

The Goofus Division

Vince Young - TEN vs. JAC - I am fortunate to have never even had an opportunity to struggle over whether I should draft Vince Young. Because by the time I got the 15th round he had always already been chosen (OOO! AHHHH! Gravediggaz!). But seriously, some people like him. Whatever. He's up against Jacksonville and one of the stingiest defenses around this week. Over the past 3 seasons they have allowed 256, 257, and 256 points per season. I'd say that's pretty steady. Here's to the beginning of the jinx!

Donovan McNabb - PHI vs. GB - Amidst the rotten beer fart that was the Green Bay Packers' 2006 season was a pretty solid defensive turn out. Yeah, they allowed almost 1,000,000 points (354), but they KILLED quarterbacks last season to the tune of 23 INTs (#3 overall) and 46 sacks (#4 overall). Plus, anytime you have a QB returning from surgery that kept him out for 6 weeks in the regular season last year, you'd better remain a little reserved with your enthusiasm.

Running Backs

The Gallant Division

Maurice Jones-Drew - JAC vs. TEN - Back to the flaccid old man boob that are the Tennessee Titans, we should see the progressively married Jones-Drew rip them apart faster than Fred Taylor can injure himself.

Ahman Green - HOU vs. KC - If you're like most people Ahman Green fell in your pocket so late, you were afraid you might have just drafted William Green. Well, Week 1 should be Ahman's time to shine. Kansas City is getting a lot of hype via HBO's Hard Knocks series. Any time you watch a show like that, you start seeing them up close and start putting validity in them being a solid team. They're not, ESPECIALLY defensively. Ahman Green should eat their lunch.

The Goofus Division

LaDanian Tomlinson - SD vs. CHI - WHA?! Yeah, I know...hear me out. This Sunday, it will have been roughly 235 days, 17 hours, and 15 minutes since LT has played real football in pads. Then, the first team he faces is the first/second best defense in the NFL? Ugh. Once again, I'm not saying bench him. I'm saying don't be distraught when he doesn't score 4 TDs and pull down 200 yards.

Travis Henry - DEN vs. BUF - Running away from nine different child support payments must be hell on the knees! Oooo! He's going up against the team that farted him out into the wind! Oooo! Well, he's still not very good, and Buffalo's defense, while not great, they're not bad. In fact, against the run, they're pretty damn decent. And let's not forget the whole Shanahan hates you thing.

Wide Receivers

The Gallant Division

Mark Clayton - BAL vs. CIN - Who was worse last year than the Bengals as far as defending the pass? No one. They gave up the most passing yardage per game (238.6) and ranked 19th overall in Points Allowed. All that from a Marvin Lewis team? For shame! Plus, on top of that, Derrick Mason has been given the slot receiver role with the Ravens and is glad to have it. So, Clayton owners, have at it!

Darrell Jackson - SF vs. ARI - Same thing as above. Arizona's pass defense (Just the pass defense?) sucks. Just not quite as much as Cincinnati's. But, this should be a good opportunity for "I told you so"s to fly as everyone's sleeper baby takes on repugnant Arizona. Darrell Jackson should do great, assuming his hamstring rests up before Monday.

The Goofus Division

Lee Evans - BUF vs. DEN - I hate writing his name here because I have him in most of my leagues. But, come on... Champ Bailey? Dre Bly? John Lynch? Versus J.P. Losman? Give me a break... I just hope Lee Evans doesn't get killed.

Chad Johnson - CIN vs. BAL - Baltimore loves to shut down mouthy receivers. They love it! They take everything so personally... But, this has more to it than just the man who beat a horse in a 100 yard dash with a 75 yard head start going against the meanest defensive formation since the al Quaeda Christmas Tree. It sounds like Hooshmaroo is a big time question mark for gametime. If you take Hoozagoogoo out of the equation, Ocho Stinko may soon find himself gang raped in public.

Tight Ends

The Gallant Division

Ben Troupe - TEN vs. JAC - Who else is Young going to throw dead ducks at? Brandon Jones? Eric Moulds? If they can ever get close enough to the goal line, rather than trying to squeeze LenDale's fat ass through a wall of turquoise, I imagine Troupe will be the target more often than not.

The Goofus Division

Jeremy Shockey - NYG vs. DAL - It's pretty easy to shut down Plaxico Burress these days. Just let a couple of Eli's SCUD missles fly over his head and he'll start pouting so hard Tiki's ego will hide under the couch at the sight of it. So, once that's done you don't even have to cover him any more, he'll be the guy walking down the field with his hands in his pockets. Shockey will be sufficiently covered.

I was thinking about doing kickers and defenses, too. But, *fart*, sans a couple, they're all the same. Violent stomach flu to everyone playing me this week, and best of luck to everyone else!
