Office Space MomentLooks like I got rid of Lamont Jordan just in time with last week’s trade for Team 1.   I took it in the ear with losses in each league except Team 2.  I’m still struggling with the likes of Gore and Roy Williams who I had placed so much value on in the beginning of the season.  It may be too late but I will be trading everything including the kitchen sink soon.

Team 1 Roster of 10 team veteran league (4-5)
QB: E. Manning, Garcia, Griese - Eli or bust!
RB: Barber, White, Gore, Jordan, K. Watson - Good history from week 1.
WR: R. Williams, Holmes, Welker – Time for Williams to step up!
TE: D. Lee, Scheffler – GB faces MIN pass defense
K: Josh Brown, Kris Brown – Kris is on bye
DST: NYG, TB - Giants may have big day
(Traded Jordan and S. Smith for Eli Manning and Marion Barber, picked up Josh Brown and dropped V. Young)

Team 2 Roster of 12 team PPR league (7-2)
QB: Losman, Griese, V. Young - JP plays MIA
RB: Bush, Parker, Jordan - Still need Parker to score!
WR: Wayne, R. Williams, Evans(flex), Coles, Welker – Let’s go Evans!
TE: Witten – Should be good matchup
K: Jeff Reed – Good matchup with CLE
DST: Chicago, Tampa Bay – Bears play OAK
(Picked up Reed and dropped Gostkowski)

Team 3 Roster of 10 team, 3rd year league (2-7)
QB: Brees – Brees or bust!
RB: Gore, Parker, D. Williams, S. Young, Jordan – This may change!
WR: Branch, R. Williams, Welker, A. Johnson – Only healthy guys
TE: V. Davis, D. Lee – Vernon may be steal
K: Kaeding – Only K
DST: Baltimore, SD – BAL has better matchup
(Note I only have 4 transactions left in this league so this team must produce!)

Team 4 Roster of 10 team, 2nd year league (4-5)
QB: McNabb – McNabb or bust
RB: Gore, Parker, D. Williams - Don’t have many options
WR: Wayne, R. Williams, Evans (flex), S. Moss, Branch, Holmes - Evans is hot!
TE: Daniels – Need to pick up TE
K: Jeff Reed – Got to be his week
DST: Baltimore, SD – Ravens have good matchup
(Dropped Gostkowski and picked Reed)

Spread em
This past weekend was yet another pathetically 7-7 endeavor. I have continued this horrible slide in the middle of the season. Well, I give you the new me, free of rules, just going for it and picking who I think will win the game first and by how much second if it matters. I ask you, can I do any worse. I stretched mediocrity to a record of 61-63-5.

Picks
CAR (-4) vs. ATL - Panthers win big IF Vinny starts
BUF (-3) @ MIA - Losman, Lynch & Evans roll
CLE (+9) @ PIT - Browns got game
DEN (+4.5) @ KC - Priest back but not enough
JAX (+4.5) @ TEN - Jags find ways to stay close
MIN (+6) @ GB - Peterson left, Peterson right, repeat
WAS (-3) vs. PHL - Eagles are done!
NO (-11.5) vs. STL - Rams will stay close early (0-0) 
CIN (+5) @ BAL - Battle of the underachievers
OAK (+3.5) vs. CHI - Yuck, do I have to watch?
NYG (+1) vs. DAL - Will the real Giants stand up?
DET (+1) @ ARI - Kitna over Kurt!
IND (-3.5) @. SD - Indy will take care of business!
SEA (-10) vs. SF - 49ers are that bad!
