Fantasy Recap, Week 4: Some Loud Thunder

I tell you what: a person might play fantasy football, but it ain't no game.

The good news is, I won three, and lost two. The bad news is, That left me with only one win in one league... and not even one win in another. I can still look fondly back on that tie, though... good times... good times....

In my NFL.COM league? I lost. It's been days, and I still can't really believe it. It's just oike that feeling you get during your first game of "Spin the bottle..." only less squishy.

Catchers in the Rye
Projected: Loss
Actual: Loss 53-69

Let's see where that leaves me:

East
Eau Claire Vandals 3-1-0
LacesOu 3-1-0
Textboo 1-3-0
Catchers in the Rye 1-3-0

Central
Tiny Adorable hedgehogs 3-1-0

Goregor 2-2-0
RumseyB 0-4-0

West
DredPir 4-0-0
HolyHan 3-1-0
Mothers 1-3-0
Underdo

Having trouble spotting me? Look in last place! That's where you'll find me! I'm the one sobbing in the corner.

In a solo league? Or, as I like to call it "That steamy pile of poopoo"? I lost... and pined for the week I managed a tie. And for the fiords.

Sith Lords of the Gridiron
Projected: Win
Actual: Loss 51-73

Huh. I wonder what that means, standings-wise?

Yup. About what you'd figure. I'm last! I'd also like to point out that I played a team that didn't start two players, and I still loss impressively. All I can say is, if the NFL gave out points for making your opponenets feel better about themselves, I'd have at least... well... I'd have a bunch more points. Is what I'm sayin'.

And then there's Maude.

The Powerful Mach 5!
Projected: Win
Actual: Win 69-49

I won, and I'm now the only undefeated team in the league. Now kids, what do you suppose happens when you combine a 4th win with an unbroken chain of three previous wins (and some baking soda)?

Finally, in my Yahoo! league... I won!
