Fantasy Football

Clever title huh. So fantasy football has nothing to do with poker I know but I've been taking some incredible "bad beats" this league. That said let me give you the scoop. I wasn't able to be there during the live draft so I had a coworker draft for me (dangerous because he's in the draft too and could potentially sabatoge me). About halfway through the draft I go to my computer and set it on autopick so my coworker doesn't have to draft for me anymore. I end up getting about 7-8 quarterbacks, which turned out to be good because I was able to trade people for receivers. Ok, week one, I dominate and win. Week two, I barely lose, this is ok, things happen. Week three, a team that has prior to and since averaged only 51 points scores 116 and beats me? Ok unusual but can happen. Week four, a team that was 0-3 and averaged 64 points a game scores 112 to my 103 and wins. This is starting to get weird. Week 5, same thing, week 6 SAME THING!!!! How is this happening? My team is averaging over 90 points a game. League average is 78 points a game. Teams with bad records and low averages get miraculous victories over me!? Ok, going into week 7, I'm heavily favored, his team averages 67 points to my 90 per game. They're starting Vick who averages 12 points a game. He gets 27. Starting TE for them, averages 3 points a game, gets 25 POINTS!!! What the f? So I'm down 99-91 going into tonight's game where I have T.O. and Witten, he has Toomer and Feely. So odds are I am going to lose yet again despite scoring over 90 points and possibly 100 points for the 2nd time. AHHHH!!! I know it's fantsay football and I really don't give a shit normally but this is such a crazy anomaly that I ust can't believe it or let it go. Oh well, I guess pocket queens and fantasy football have it out for me.... Until next time.
