As I said, when your team is the one that consistently puts Ls on the Pats' Super Bowl record despite all the shady s### they do, it's easy to not hate them.

I've argued so much about the Patriots in the past, I'm over it at this point. Long story short: I believe that they push the rules as far as possible and they get more flak for it than other teams that do the same, similar, or worse. I don't think any of the "cheating" gave them a definitive competitive edge, and it certainly hasn't given them edge for the 15 years they've been dominant. I'm not going to rehash arguments that I've had a million times before, so don't waste time bringing up this or that...

I get it, it's fun to rag on the Cheatriots (I mean, you hate us cuz you ain't us)... but it gets tiring. Just let me enjoy one of the greatest football teams to ever exist.

Anyway, back to fantasy...

Destructo, you might want to drop Teddy for another player since he isn't going to be playing this year. Since you're new to the whole fantasy thing, wasn't sure if you knew you could do that

Enjoy away Roy, we're just busting chops cause we love to do that here lol.

No worries at all haha feel free to bust away the hate fuels me. (wouldn't be fantasy football without some good ol fashioned trash talk)

Sorry if I came off a little touchy before. Living outside of New England I have to defend the Pats on a weekly basis haha gets tiring after a while. On the plus side I learned more about the ideal gas law thanks to deflategate arguments then I think I did in my entire academic career

It's one thing that I will actually agree with those stinking cheeseheads about.

Done at the gym, got a beef brisket burrito, and ready for some football. GO CAM!

lolwut? I'll...be right back.

Well week 1 seems to be a loss for me. I think I am okay with that. Gronk needs Brady

Geez, this is freaking close.

It WOULDN'T have been if I had more faith in my Vikings defense and started them, but c'est la vie.

Considering you took them early to prevent me from taking them, I'm rather mad. And considering I took Peterson before you could get him and he stunk, I'm still mad. Now I need Todd Gurley to suck. That's not a good position to be in.

Well, apparently the commissioner in my other league decided to restart the league and boot me without talking to me at all.

Might be bitter that I won.

But yes, your bitterness is delicious to me.

Hey at least I didn't play Stafford (which, who'd expect Wilson to struggle with MIA's D) or Abdullah or Sanu (stupid Cardinals)...

Now comes the trickiest part of the year - figuring out which early performances are real and which are mirages.

That's piss poor on the part of your other commissioner. I expect no less than you enjoying my pain as I would do the same in turn. Love me some Fantasy Football.

I have Fuller on my bench. And I have Melvin Gordon and Kelvin Benjamin on my benches in other leagues. Then Walsh missed two field goals and a PAT. That pisses me off as a Vikings and FF fan. I think I know some of the real performances. I think.

Tried to get too cute with Michaels over Ware... d'oh!

Whew. Won by .42!

Hopefully it sticks.
