Peer Pressure Works!

Yeah, the #1 team last week made a massive comeback and won, so my team DID end up getting the #2 seed, and the Bye this week. So no team (well, that isn’t true…I actually have 3 other teams that are either starting the postseason or finishing their regular season this weekend) this week!

This could actually be quite beneficial. DJ Williams should definitely be back for next week, and he was a tackle machine before getting hurt. As well, there’s talk Washington might sit a very banged up Clinton Portis this week. I selfishly hope they do…it means he’ll be a bit healthier next week when I need him again.

I did make a few moves. Gone is Kellen Winslow for Baltimore tight end Todd Heap. Heap’s been doing well the past couple weeks, and when he’s healthy (as he seems to be now), he’s a terrific receiver. Rian Lindell was cut loose, and I brought back Denver’s Matt Prater. I only cut him before because the Broncos offense went South, but they’re scoring again and he hits kicks from massive distances (which equals massive points). Gone is Leroy Hill for another returning talent (and a real life teammate of Hill’s), Lofa Tatupu. I blame my 3 game losing streak down the stretch on a lack of Samoan influence on the roster. That’s now cured, and Lofa’s been back to his old, running back killing self the last little while. And one more move…gone is Bomber Mo. THIS was my “OK, motherfuckers, you think you’re SAFE? Fuck that! I TRADED for this guy and I just dumped his ass going in to the PLAYOFFS. EARN your spot, motherfuckers!” Coming back is Miami wideout DaVone Bess. He has an excellent name…and as a bonus, he’s been starting since Miami #1 Greg Camarillo got hurt, and has 16 grabs in those 3 starts.
