    I've got a couple...</p>

    1. In one of my leagues, I've lost three games this year because of bad coaching...had more than enough firepower on my bench to win the game, but started the wrong guys. In that same league, I've lost one game by 1.25 points and another game by...wait for it...0.24 points!</p>

    2. This week in the keeper league, I figured I had it locked up because of 4 TD Terrell Owens. I check the score and our man Porky not only has 45 points from Tom Brady, but ANOTHER 45 points from...Chester Taylor??? Who saw that one coming?</p>

    Nice game, bud...</p>

    Injuries, injuries,and injuries.</p>

    I had lucked into Peterson and Ronnie Brown. Brown is out for the yr and Peterson is out for who knows long.</p>

    I took Manning as high as 5 because he usually puts up as many pts as a RB and no RBs I liked that high, and I also got the 2 aforementioned backs in later rds, which turned out to be steals. Now he hasn't been doing as much as I need with injuries to his WRs/TEs. I was once 8-0, and willdrop 3rd game in a row.</p>

    I was glad to have Steven Jackson drop into my lap in the late first round at the time. I haven't even looked at my team in six or seven weeks.</p>

    I think you're 1-9. There were so many players left after the draft, you could've done well, even though you missed out on it. Though my friend has Brady and Welker, and he's been killing everyone except me. I beat him earlier. Nowwith the injuries he will kill me in the playoffs lol.</p>

    No man, I didn't have jack shit left in the waiver wire. I picked up someone whose OKAY, but nothing special. Next year I'll take the league (if I'm there for the draft), guarenteed.</p>

    I had a nice winning streak to get into first place, but that was immediately followed by injuries to Larry Johnson and Marshawn Lynch. I just wasted a 4-TD night by Randy Moss, because my starting RB's were Priest Holmes and Jesse Chatman. Not sure if I can really contend with them both out.</p>

    Is Earnest Graham and Ron Dayne still a free agent? You might want to pick either one of those up.</p>

    Graham's taken but Dayne's still there. Do you think he's a better option than either Chatman or Holmes?

    I forgot to mention that I also have Thomas Jones coming off the bench and I started him this week. He had a great game (despite the lack of a touchdown), but I'm afraid to depend on him too much given his forgettable season. I actually thought I had great depth at the RB position, but Benson turned into a total bust and I just dropped him.</p>

    My Horror story is that I drafted Marc Bulger to lead my team which has not been pretty but I also grabbed Bret Favre in the last round just to get a couple laughs from my friends but surprisingly Favre is a top 5 QB this season so somehow it worked out in the end, also bad coaching on my behalf led to a cople of my loses as I have a big bench for WR....Randy Moss, Ward, Driver, Evans, Boldin...so pretty much anyone one of those players could go off for a big night. Right now im 6-5 in this league but could have been 8-3.

    In my public league im placing the punishment on opposing teams as I have Brady and Moss, my only lose came last week on a NE bye week but came back strong this week and am 10-1.

    QB- T.Brady
    WR-R.Moss
    WR-B.Edwards
    WR-L.Fitzgerald
    RB-J.Addai
    RB-L.Maroney
    TE-T.Gonzalez

    This is a 10 team pool as well.</p>
