This.Plus I lose McNabb. Thank God I started Hester instead of A. Gonzalez. But I sat Santonio Holmes in another league.Then there's Jay Cutler and his four INTs.SJax didn't bother to show up today. Thats twice I've drafted him and regretted it. Hopefully "it's only the first game" and not a season long deal.Of the 5 leagues I'm in, I'm losing in the 3 with what I thought were my strongest teams, and winning in the 2 with what I thought were my weakest teams.Not at all how I expected the first week to go. At least I have Randy Moss to look forward to tomorrow.started Schaub's worthless ### over Hasselbeck.Would have won if I did the opposite.

League 1:
Slaton & Turner - monster protection players in the 11th & 12th rounds.
SJax - Round 1
Andre Johnson - Round 2
QB = Cutler
Exit the draft with the league in mortal fear.
Week 1: Not one player in double digit scoring. On the bench: Santonio Holmes, Ced Benson.
Extremely competitive Auction league:
Protection player = Anthony Gonzalez
QB = Donovan McNabb
(last seasons protection player also left in the 1st Quarter of week 1. Some Brady guy.)
GRR!

3 leagues ... Yahoo (and FBG's DD) had me as huge favorites in every matchup ... 3 losses 
Nothing like thinking you dominated the draft to see every single one of your squads lay an egg. The worst was a 14-teamer. My opponent had the Philly defense, but I was only down by 9 points heading into Sunday night. All his players were done, and I had Forte and Olsen. Just 90 yards between the 2 of them (or 30 yards and a TD) was all I needed. I was saying to myself, "Well, at least I'll have won in this league". Then I watched the game. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!??! 
Last time I draft a TE based on reports that he was the QBs best friend. With friends like that, who needs enemies.

Why are you venting about starting Hasselbeck over Shaub?

I'm not venting because my team did poorly...I'm venting because this kind of crap ALWAYS happens to me...
My point total for this week: 142.46
Rest of leage point totals:
157.26
122.72
103.88
87.04
38.60
80.42
76.36
63.40
59.72
Guess which team I played. Yup. 157.26.
That said, I've still got LT2 to play, and he's done. Needless to say 100 yds and a TD would do me wonders tonight.

Schaub is a cowardly wuss who can't get the ball to the best receiver in the game.
Refs screw over Calvin Johnson on a huge TD.
Delhomme is too busy handing the ball to the other team instead of Delo.
Started a Miami kicker = stupid move.
That = loss.
Rivers suckage and Raiders power D allows me to escape with a victory. Heading over to the bragging thread.

####, you win easy, then the team that scored 157.26 can post his loss to the top scoring team.

For the first time EVER Im going to end up with the #1 waiver position after Week 1....and there are ZERO sure fire pick ups this week. Nothing more than a bunch of spot start WRs are available...STANDARD!

I was up about 15 points going into the Monday night games and I had Nate Kaeding and Leodis McKelvin and my opponent had Tom Brady and Terrell Owens.
After the Patriots scored with a couple minutes remaining in the game, it was tied. I figure that McKelvin should give me another point on his kickoff return and then Kaeding will secure my victory in the later game.
Then, McKelvin loses a fumble, losing me 2 points, Brady gets the ball back, throws the TD, and next thing I know I'm down 10 points.
Unbelievable. Now I'm counting on Kaeding for 10+ points or I lose. Two years ago when the Bills were on MNF against the Cowboys, I won by one point on the last second onside recovery Nick Folk 50 yard field goal. I think fantasy karma is back to haunt me.

I feel your pain brother. I was also the 2nd highest in the league, by more than 25 points. Lost by 5. Needed 15 points from LT2 and got 10.120 points...2nd highest in the league...got beat by 30 (went against Brady, ADP, Wayne, Philly D)

I've had worse losses, but any of these TD's going the opposite way would have got me the win...
His Team:
QB-Drew Brees-NOS - Threw for SIX TDs
WR Desean Jackson-PHI - We count Return TDs for individual players
My team:
TE-Antonio Gates-SDC - Goal line stuff = LT2 rushing TD
WR-Braylon Edwards-CLE - Called back TD...
(7:54) 10-B.Quinn pass short left to 17-B.Edwards for 34 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Penalty on MIN-23-C.Griffin, Defensive Pass Interference, declined. Minnesota challenged the ineligible receiver ruling, and the play was REVERSED. 10-B.Quinn pass deep left to 17-B.Edwards for 34 yards, TOUCHDOWN NULLIFIED by Penalty. PENALTY on MIN-23-C.Griffin, Defensive Pass Interference, 28 yards, enforced at MIN 34 - No Play.

Lost my game when Calvin's TD that was mistakenly taken away would have given me the win. Still had a shot if Moss or McFadden would have scored last night, but it wasn't to be.

Working from memory:
I drafted Ricky Williams and he broke a leg
Drafted Fred Taylor and he tore his groin, un touched in the open field
I drafted Curtis Martin because of his streak of reliability, and lose him for most of a season to injury
I didn't have Tom Brady last year, but i did have Randy Moss
This year, Anthony Gonzalez walks across a line and blows his knee.
I AM THE MADDEN CURSE.
