I never realized I wrote some of this, saved it as a draft and never finished or published it. Well here you go, a little late, but better late than never.
Every week somebody’s team has to have that big stinker, that one player who single handedly tries to submarine your entire effort. This week, that cruel fate belonged to my team in one, Rex Grossman. I didn’t expect much from him this week, I never really do. I just ask for 10-15 points and let Aaron Rodgers pick up the slack. This week, Grossman’s -0.98 points brought my QB average down to 13.61. Negative points. You have to love seeing that on the scoreboard. The only thing I’m more shocked at is how it was only -0.98. With his play today, I’m shocked it wasn’t -10. And that crap only brought down Santana Moss as well. Oh well, what can you do?
Even with that horrible mess that cost Rex Grossman his job, I still got the W with a little help from my friends. This week, my friend started Joseph Addai despite him being listed as Questionable and clearly not even traveling with the team as well as my friend losing Jason Campbell very early in his game. If those 2 things don’t happen, I probably lose. I have Vincent Jackson and Beanie Wells on byes and got a whole 0 points from the Saints Def. The Saints Def is awful. They can’t stop a thing and never get the turnovers they got me consistently last year. They showed promise Week 1 when I thought Sproles may run one back a few times this year but that hasn’t come to fruition and they’re only averaging me 5.5 points a week. Besides that, it was Aaron Rodgers and Michael Turner’s stellar 139/2 that carried me to victory. I’ll take it. The next few weeks are going to be ugly.
