Open Thread: Week 6

Well this is nice. Andre Johnson and Hines Ward out. Brian Westbrook, Kevan Barlow and LJ Smith on bye. Fred Taylor out, so Baron gets to use his backup. Thomas Jones in for Baron, so I don't get to use his backup.

Baron, my friends, just became the favorite. What's new in your world?

Thanks for the vote of confidence, JR.

Well, I was lied to - that Pearman guy is not playing at halfback. What the hell?

Not a great vote of confidence when they go with a fat guy instead of your guy. Our game will rival Viano-Tomke for ugliest in the league, though I would hope we're not that bad.

Dammit Carson, a touchdown to Chris Perry does me no good.

What a miserable day for fantasy football fans. I believe three defensive touchdowns, one return touchdown, and two touchdowns for Desmond Clark, and nobody with more than 21 points as of 2:20 p.m. Brutal.

Don't go to church on Sundays. You'll miss all the actives and end with that little car-nicknamed bitch in your lineup.

Fuck you, Cadillac.

I would have been an active participant in this thread had I known it existed before 4p.

It would have been fun to watch me alternate between "Rudi Johnson Sucks" and "Rudi Johnson is dead" to "I'm sorry Rudi."

With all due respect to the Luck Index, I would have beaten every team that lost this week despite the fact that I had the lowest point total for any winner.

Then again, half of JR's team had a 'Bye' this week, and Thomas Jones decided to play and score two touchdowns, so I guess I was pretty lucky.

Right the point is that you wouldn't have beaten any of the winners, so you're lucky that you played who you did (a terrible, terrible, awful, horrible team). It's a little more evenly dispersed this week, but you still won despite performing the least.

I was lucky, yes, but this is the first week this season in which the lowest scoring winner would have still beaten the highest scoring loser, by a mere quarter of a point, but still.

That makes it less lucky than say Father Abraham's victory in week three when he played the only team he could have possibly won against.
