Agreed.   Good for him for following his dreams or whatever, but when it comes to understanding how he screwed his teammates, the guy just doesn't get it.

[Nicklab]

You got a serious blow dealt to you with T.O. being out.  Can't say I have much sympathy for the guy since he's such a showboat on the field, but it sucks that one of your top scorers is out.  If I wind up winning, it kind of cheapens the victory with TO out with an injury.

[Morgbug]

Tell me this doesn't hurt deeply

Did that secure you 5th Brent?

[Morgbug]

Dunno, doesn't really matter.  Only thing that matters is I went on vacation and McNair got hurt.  Foolishly I didn't switch to Volek (mostly because I didn't have computer access and didn't really worry about it, I thought McNair was healthy - again - finally).  Had I switched in Volek I would have beat mosnab and met up with you, resoundingly thumping your ass.

Yes, the whole point is moot since I didn't make the switch, but I can enjoy the fact I would have been in the final for a rematch against Zod.  Hawaii wins over fantasy football anyway, but I can still be a dink with the best of them.

[Nicklab]

I'd trade Hawaii for being in the JD FFL final too.

EDIT* - Just looking at the numbers now.  Yeah, you would've beat me soundly this week (unless I had started Roy Williams instead of Reggie Wayne), and I had a good week.  But you still would've beat me by about 10 points unless Vinatieri went on a scoring streak.

Yeah, I'm not lamenting over his injury or anything - with the exception of in this situation here.   T.O. aside, I'm concerned about other players not playing... like Manning or Bettis.

We'll see I guess.

[Scott]

Home field is still up for grabs in the AFC I think so I would think all teams will still be playing their hearts out in Week 16.  The Eagles and Falcons are really the only teams with nothing to play for

[Rob]

I hope that's the case - I also hope Manning is looking to SHATTER that touchdown record this week.

[Rob]

Well, I'm leaving tomorrow for Florida - might not be around the computer much.  In any case, good luck to the nuckleheads and I should be back to check in sometime Sunday night.

[Nicklab]

Good luck to you and the Zods.  Enjoy Florida too, and Happy Holidays.

[Rob]

Hey everyone...  Just checking in and glad to see that Donald Driver managed to net more points than Randy Moss.  Who'da thunk it?

Driver - 9.24
Moss -  6.60

So far so good...but I'm highly concerned about Larry Johnson and Julius Jones - two young guys, who have fresh legs, and are hot as of late.

Merry Christmas everyone.

[Rob]

Unless my math is wrong, we've got a close one!

The Zods (11-2-0)

  QB P. Manning (Ind - QB) - 8.83
* WR J. Galloway (TB - WR) - 1.20
  WR D. Driver (GB - WR) - 9.24
  RB D. Davis (Hou - RB) - 9.78
  RB J. Bettis (Pit - RB) - 2.60
* TE K. Dilger (TB - TE) - 0.10
  K J. Carney (NO - K) - 6.00
* DEF Tampa Bay (TB - DEF) - 1.00
 
 Total 38.75
 

Nicklabs Nuckleheads (9-4-0)
 
  QB J. Harrington (Det - QB) - 1.18
  WR R. Wayne (Ind - WR) - 1.22
  WR R. Moss (Min - WR) - 6.60
* RB J. Jones (Dal - RB) - 1.30
  RB La. Johnson (KC - RB) - 14.44
  TE T. Heap (Bal - TE) - 0.68
* K A. Vinatieri (NE - K) - 10.00
* DEF Buffalo (Buf - DEF) - 2.00
 
 Total 37.42
 
And given who's left playing for each team, I don't like my chances.

[Rob]

Okay, my sheet shows this:

The Zods (11-2-0)

  QB P. Manning (Ind - QB) - 8.83
  WR J. Galloway (TB - WR) - 7.96
  WR D. Driver (GB - WR) - 9.24
  RB D. Davis (Hou - RB) - 9.78
  RB J. Bettis (Pit - RB) - 2.60
  TE K. Dilger (TB - TE) - 0.46
  K J. Carney (NO - K) - 6.00
  DEF Tampa Bay (TB - DEF) - 1.00
 
 Total 45.87
 

Nicklabs Nuckleheads (9-4-0)
 
  QB J. Harrington (Det - QB) - 1.18
  WR R. Wayne (Ind - WR) - 1.22
  WR R. Moss (Min - WR) - 6.60
  RB J. Jones (Dal - RB) - 1.34
  RB La. Johnson (KC - RB) - 14.44
  TE T. Heap (Bal - TE) - 0.68
  K A. Vinatieri (NE - K) - 11.00
  DEF Buffalo (Buf - DEF) - 6.00
 
 Total 42.46
 
But there's plenty of room for error since I'm just looking at box-scores.

Anyone with a stat tracker want to come in here and declare one of us the actual winner?

[Nicklab]

Not sure where you got those numbers, but my Stat Tracker came up with the following final:

Nicklab's Nucklehead's:  43.46

The Zod's:  45.84

Congrats, KBZ!
