That’s how many points I lost my fantasy championship by.
This is one of those days where you think you might just skip next season. Though I’m not (yet) drunk enough to forget that I’m about as likely to do that as I am to follow through on the "I’m never drinking again, ever" phase of a hangover.
This was a particularly miserable defeat, since at around 4:30 yesterday, I was more or less certain that I had won. After the 1pm EST games had concluded, I was down by 11 points, with Earnest Graham and the Tampa Bay defense still to go. Tampa Bay had just manhandled the Falcons the week before, so I was pretty confident that they’d do something similar to San Fran and make up the margin all on their own – and then I had Graham, the free agent pickup of the year, who would certainly rack up at least ten points even if Tampa did decide to rest him a bit.
Then Tampa Bay lost to San Fran, while giving Graham’s backups the ball more than they gave it to him. And he did jack squat with the carries he did get.
Then I lost by 0.47.
The beer, if you’re wondering, is delicious tonight. Merry fucking Christmas.

My condolences. I lost my championship by 30 points with Addai hurt and Welker and Branch both putting up nothing. Makes you doubt your skills with these uncharacteristic performances.
Til next year…I tip my beer to you, sir.

Unfortunately, Graham being rested before the end of the 2nd quarter cost me too. Gruden rested him way too early, and it cost me. Oh well…that’s FF I guess.

Do you think you’d be hurt more by your FF player being rested like in Graham’s case or have him take a knee at the 1 yard like like westbrook did in the eagles/cowboys game 2 weeks ago?
