The D's that T- Season 2 - Week 7

So I was basically stuck in a conference room with no internet all week working directly with on my firm's partners more or less over my shoulder.  Good for career, bad for writing fantasy football newsletters.   So, in the spirit of Halloween I'll provide you with a trick, in that there will be no newsletter this week, and treat, in that I've replaced each section with pictures of NFL cheerleaders dressed up for Halloween.  There's also a post from Paul about recent trade activity further down. 

I. Football Thoughts

Sure- there were football games.  There were also Sexy cab-drivers and sexy native american indians.

II. Random Thoughts

My random thought?  Hot chicks.

III. Recap

I'm sure stuff happened in our league, but you know what else happened?  Cheerleaders dressed up like devils and bar maids

VII. Disgraceful Trade Offer of the Week

Paul sent this in and I graciously decided to post it unedited- even though he's bitching about the trade deal I offered him.  To be honest, I kind of like the idea of doing a section on this.  If anyone offers you a ridiculously one-sided deal during the week email it to me and I will post the details for public shaming.  

Paul writes:

This is a segment I’d like to add to the blog called “Disgraceful Trade Offer of the Week”. To start things off I’ll be discussing the recent trade offer made to me by Charlie of Ronnie “this is a contract year?” Brown and Mike “The Other” Williams for long-time Hopper-man crush Wes Welker. Now, maybe Charlie assumed that because The Corporation is nearly lifeless at 1-6 he could make such an absurd offer.  I say “nearly lifeless” because as long as Jay and the Ryan/J-Biz mash-up are present in the league there’s always a chance at the 8th playoff spot. Jay has officially taken over from Labrie as worst manager in the league, and Ry/Biz are making roster decisions like John Kerry makes policy decisions, but I digress….

Anyway, back to the trade. So Charlie offers me Brown and Williams for Welker.  First of all, this is ridiculous because I have to drop a player to make this work while Charlie is able to clear a roster spot. Second of all, neither Brown nor Williams are better than anything I have on my bench. This means that I’m trading Welker for either Brown or Williams, which is just absurd. I thought I made a more than fair counter-offer of Welker for Andre Johnson. They have a 1 point difference in current points and a 2.5 point difference in projected points, so they are essentially equal. I guess trades can’t get done in this league unless one team is getting raped like one of Michael Vick’s pit bulls.

In my defense I was lobbing a starting offer out there to see if we could work something out- and I think that potential should play into things.  For instance, I think Ronnie Brown will be a solid fantasy option come playoff time but he hasn't performed well at all this year.  Similarly, I think Andre Johnson will finish well ahead of Welker by year-end despite their similar numbers to date; which is why I rejected Paul's counter-offer. 

VIII. Conn Memory

Oh this is still happening, I don't care what I said above about cheerleaders.  You were all warned.

ok fine, because its Halloween and you've been kind enough to read my ramblings I'll give you one more

The D's that T will return in its original format next friday.  Until then, happy Halloween and go fuck yourselves.
