A True Blue Spectacle

Hero or the goat time... and I was the goat.

Lost all but one. The thing about losing? It isn't the reason for the season, knowhatI'msayin'?

The office Yahoo legaue? Lost. Lost, might I add, by one point. I say again: By. One. Point.

Of course, I'm still in the playoffs, and the fact is the loss may even help my chances in the playoffs by leading to a game against a weaker team in the first round... but it sucks, all the same. The better news -he typed sarcastically- is I left 50 points on my bench as I watched Reggie Bush -a running bacak I hadn't started in weeks 'cause he'd been sleeping through the season- score three rushing TDs and one receiving TD. Dammit.

The "Everyone" league? I won! My one little win. The bad news is it was at Joe's expense. Sorry Joe!

Nancy, by the way, trampled the dreaded "Cannonball!" Pretty impressive! Of course it looks like even she may miss the playoffs, but at least she thumped that guy once for the rest of us! Next week... next week Nancy and I go head to head again, and this time? I'm rooting for Nancy. Yes, I learned my lesson after the last time.

The solo league! Another loss!

This one sucked 'cause "Cowboys" actaully lost, so if I'd won I'd have been tied for first in my division. On top of that, I'm playing "Cowboys" next week, so winning there would have finally put me back in first, and in the playoffs. Now the best I can do is second place... and a whole lot of hoping for the numbers to pity me and sneak me into the playoffs anyway....

Oh, and on a side note: I was fairly confident I'd win this week 'cause I was playing someone who hadn't touched their line-up since Week 1, right? He was even starting a quarterback who hasn't played in months! That was the good news. The bad news was he had left Reggie Bush (yes, the same Reggie Bush I had benched in the Yahoo league) active... and as a result he rolled right over me. Irony sucks.

Last but most galling, I lost in the "once-mighty" league.

Remember how I couldn't afford to lose every remaining game of the season? Well, I'm well on my way toward doing just that. And guess what? I lost to another manager who hasn't changed his lineup since the first week of the season. Am I bitter? Maybe a little.

So, going into the last week of the regular season I'm in the playoffs in one league, and hoping to make it in two others. Worst case scenario still my best ratio ever, but all it would take is a miracle to make it in all four leagues... and that's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
