I've been pretty lazy in posting lately because I've been working on stuff for the "DROP BEETS NOT BOMBS" podcast among other things. So I'm just going to give a brief synopsis of both weeks.
In Bri's "Pardon the Interception IV" league, I squeeked out a victory in Week 4 and then lost a heartbreaker in the final seconds of the Cowboys-Bills game that led me to defeat. Week 4 saw Reggie Brown, Jericho Cotchery, and Ronnie Brown (the prodigal son) carrying my team to victory. The Chad Pennington experiment got me a modest 7 points and I quickly snatched up Daunte Culpepper in the hope that this is his turnaround season. Luckily for me, the team I was facing was full of underachievers who continued their struggles including Steve Smith and Frank Gore. Definitely glad I drafted neither one of them in any of my leagues. Week 5 saw me exude alot of confidence considering my team was 3-1. But alas, my team tanked with the exceptions of Reggie Wayne and Ronnie Brown, my heavy hitters. The guy I was playing against got a lot of above par performances from his team and I came into the Monday Night game down 11 points with the Cowboys defense. Playing against a rookie QB on a horrible team, they should have tore shit up but instead they manage just 3 sacks and 1 interception and they only got me 9 points leaving me with a 2 point defeat. Prospects aren't looking so good in this league anymore unless Shaun Alexander gets healthy and Daunte Culpepper returns to superstar status.
In TJ's "Definately Ditka" league, I continued my torid pace with decisive wins in both Week 4 and 5. Week 4 saw Brett Favre, Santonio Holmes, and Willis McGahee have huge games while Week 5 had Favre, McGahee, and Torry Holt having good games, making up for the fact that Joseph Addai and Santonio Holmes both were late scratches for their games. The best part of the victory in Week 5 is that it was over Finnegan. Granted it's not the same with Finnegan living up on Long Island and me not being able to brag about it all the time to him, but it still feels good. It's a shame that he couldn't take advantage of all the injuries my team is enduring. At first, next week wasn't looking very promising because I'm playing the #1 team in the league and 3 of my WRs will be out due to injury and / or byes and Joseph Addai is also on bye but I've mastered the art of Waiver Wire pickups by securing Santana Moss (whoever put him on the Waiver Wires was a moron) and Devery Henderson who is due for a good game this week. He's got to make up for all his drops. I'm a little worried about Dallas' defense taking on New England but I didn't have any other players I could drop to pick up another defense. So hopefully this pans out.
