How’d we do this week Chris? I’m playing for mostly bronze’s around the various leagues. Down by about 60 in my most competitive league with a Selvin, Cutler, and Henderson tonight left…gonna be tight.
If you’re into TSN fantasy playoff stuff, about an hour ago I created a league there (free–since most I know are cheap…LOL)…the league name is Playoff Pundits…if interested! PEACE…and Happy Holidays!

Thanks Tommy and Happy Holidays to you as well. I’m in 4 money leagues and 4 non-money leagues.
I just won a championship in two money leagues, with one league being won tonight on Clinton Portis’ last minute TD run. In the other, it’s the two week cumulative score from Week 16 and 17. Two of the other money leagues, I missed going to the championship by 1 game. In one of the non-money leagues )made up of other football bloggers, I missed making the playoffs by 1 game. In another, I lost the first game of the playoffs, and the other 2, I’m in the championship game next week. Don’t know why people insist on playing a championship game on Week 17! Anyway, all and all, I think this year was a success for me.
Thanks for the invite, but I think I’ll take the playoffs off.

Congrats on a great season and a well deserved break. Are you going to be updating at all during the offseason? There is a lot of news going on with PacMan possibly going to the Cowboys, Troy Brown leaving the Patriots, DeAngelo Hall to the Raiders, etc. Thanks again for a great site.
