[Editor's Note: this letter is a response to Mark Twan's continual trash talk after beating me in our fantasy football league this week.]
Twan,
Yes, you beat me in fantasy football. It was my first loss since week three, after spending consecutive weeks tearing through an undefeated team and a one-loss team. You ended my four game winning streak and are now one game ahead of me. I guess I should just quit. Hang on a second, I’m going to go cry now.
Ok, I’m back. I don’t think it’s a reflection of my fantasy drafting skills that Steve Slaton has both won me four games and lost me four games. He was a highly rated running back. And I should get some sympathy from the guy who drafted LaDanian Tomlinson with his first pick (that was you), or anyone who has Matt Forte or Michael Turner. Sometimes your first pick doesn’t work out (but at least mine has half the time, whereas yours hasn’t all the time). Also, as you mentioned, I had four starters on their bye week. Yes, I could have drafted other inferior players instead based on their bye weeks. But instead I went with better players and decided to try to weather the storm for one week. Speaking of one bad week, do you remember the time you dumped Miles Austin right before he ripped off a fantasy points orgasm against the Chiefs? I do. Good luck this week Twan, I’ll see you in the standings.
Jeremy
