So, the bye weeks are here. Yay (this is dripping with sarcasm). I am not so cool as Rusty, who can take bye weeks into account during the draft. I am lucky if I can pick players who aren't in jail or out for the season...
Which brings me to Peyton Manning. Actually, it brings me to Curtis Painter, but bear with me for a second. I miss Peyton. The Peyton of old, always the smartest man on the field. Always able to pull a victory from the jaws of defeat. Now that he's on the bench for a season, it's a toss-up if he'll be able to come back to form. I hope so.
But in the interim there is Curtis Painter. For such a young guy (he's younger than my sons!) he is showing some real big-boy poise in the pocket, and has made some pinpoint passes. And what an arm!!! Not sure if he has what it takes to be a stellar QB, but he's better now than Collins ever was. But Indy is 0-6. Just typing that is causing my physical pain...I am near tears.
And, just in case you were wondering why I hadn't brought it up...THE SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS ARE 5-1. Really. I know, it reads like a typo or the delusion of an old granny that can't face the harsh reality that her team sucks. That still doesn't mean that Alex Smith can play football, but I think Harbaugh is able to get a bit out of the dry well that is Smith's talent. Feel free to prove me wrong Alex. Please...
And who else is shocked (shocked, I tell you!) that 6 weeks are gone already? I am kinda bummed. Actually I am really bummed, because I haven't been able to catch as many games as I'd like. But the heart of the season is coming up and hopefully my pitiful fantasy teams can hang in there so I don't drag down the stretch in last place.
The bye weeks are killers. Are you haunting the waiver wire and FA lists, picking up dreck to fill a slot too? No, you're picking up the decent players on waivers before I can get to them!
What are the bye weeks doing to you?

The whole season has been crazy for me. Won my first game last week only because someone failed to take out injured/bye players in a league where I am now 1-6. Doesn't exactly make me feel good about winning my first game in there. I think they felt pity on me. I don't need pity only better players! The leagues where I thought I'd do the worst in I've done well. The leagues where I thought I'd do good I've done bad. The byes haven't helped and starters that were suppose to be starters aren't doing as well as some of them second on the depth chart. To be honest I can't believe we are now half way thru fantasy football, yet I can't wait for the season to be done with. It's been one of my least favorite years for fantasy football.
