Figured I would make one thread we can discuss, complain and revel about our teams.
Five teams this year; two on ESPN (one auto and one prize), two on NFL.com and the PSA Yahoo league I am commish of.
All five made the playoffs which was cool. Actually I finished 1st or 2nd in all leagues, however it was luck in the ESPN prize league and it is hard for me to claim second in season. I drafted Tom Brady and Larry Johnson as my first two picks, so basically tried to throw away the season after week 1, but I ended up using Cassell and finished the season in a 5 way tie on one of the two divisions and point leader. All of us with 5-8 records, so it ranked me at 2nd place. We had the playoffs last week and my team won by 2 pts, and the best team lost. So I have a decent chance in that league. My team won on the auto pick league as well so I have two Super Bowl games this week.
Finished in 1st and 2nd place on the two NFL.com leagues. I should have finished 1st in both leagues, but one player really tore it up the last couple weeks and I finished with 11 wins and 2nd place.
Finally in the PSA Yahoo league I finished in 1st place with a victory over the 2nd place team in the final week. This week is almost half over for me already because of the Saints-Bears game and I am doing alright so far.
Hoping to see all of you in your various big games,

Am in the playoffs in 3 of my 5 leagues.
In my two loser leagues, I drafted Joseph Addai with my 1st pick and Jamal Lewis with my 3rd pick in BOTH of them.
Those guys ended up being a couple of the biggest busts of the year
and when your early picks at RB don't work out it's pretty hard to recover.
The PSA league you put together for us has been a lot of fun Mark.
With 16 teams some real scrubs ended up getting started especially during the bye weeks.

On one of my ESPN playoffs it is pretty close. I won last week by 2 pts., so I am plus 2 there. This week I am currently 79 to his 86, so I need 6 pts.(85 for the week) to beat him in the two game series. He has the tie breaker. I have Akers (Eagles kicker). Last night it had us tie but now it redid the Cardinals pts.....but I think I will get it done.

THANK YOU ELI!!!!
I'm still in shock, actually..
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
RB League-
RBs- Marion Barber, Marshawn Lynch, Kevin Smith
WRs- Tory Holt, Marvin Harrison, Steve Breaston, Antonio Bryant (FA)
QBs- Jay Cutler, Phillip RIvers
WR League-
RBs- Joseph Addai, Ryan Grant, Pierre Thomas (FA), Chris Johnson (FA)
WRs- Steve Smith, Greg Jennings, Lee Evans, Lance More (FA)
QBs- Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers
WR league destroyed my RB league, outscored it by 110 points. In actuality I got waiver wire lucky in getting Chris Johnson but many weeks I went through getting less than 20 points out of my RBs and still winning due to 40+ points from my WRs. The QBs were a wash as Brees was slightly better than Cutler or Rivers depending on the week of course.
I also have realized defense does matter and will stop drafting them last.
