First Victory

This week, my miserable 0 win 3 loss streak came to a screeching halt.  Not only did I win my match-up, but I had the second highest point total out of all the teams this week (this is a big deal for a team whose been terrible in the first 3 games). I came in 10 points behind the team that had Adrian Peterson and Demaryius Thomas, two guys who are unstoppable forces in the NFL this year.  Needless to say, I feel pretty confident about the changes I've made so far this season.

This week I beat my buddy Mike.  This detail wouldn't matter, except for the fact that Mike is notorious for being defeated by the cellar dweller's of the league.  See, last season there was a guy named Bruce in our league.  Bruce had a terrible draft and an even worse season.  He won two games all year, however, both wins were against the same team... Mike's team.  Mike ended up missing the playoffs last year by one game, meaning that if he had just beaten Bruce once, like the rest of us had done, he would've made the playoffs.

Instead of looking at this win as a shift in my bad luck, I should take it as an omen of what has the possibility to come.  There's a chance that I could be the "Bruce" of this season.

Beating Mike has so far not been a difficult thing to do... if you're in last place.  I think I need to continue to make moves in order to continue my climb out of the league's basement.  For instance, I NEED a decent tight-end (I can't afford to climb out of the basement with a tight end only producing 2 points a game).  I'm looking to pick up Delainie Walker, the starter in Tennessee.  This week my QB Matt Ryan threw for over 400 yards and 2 TD's, my RB Arian Foster decided to show up and be a force to recon with for the 1st time so far this season.  My WR Reggie Wayne also went for 100 yards and a touchdown.  If my guys come together like this every week, I would be at the top of the league in no time.  However, I know this is unlikely to happen again.  With that being said, I would like to thank my good friend Mike for allowing yet another last place team to springboard their season off of his defeat.
