So this Bench Swap experiment worked out after all. Well, for those of you who weren’t so blindingly loyal to an offensive line so atrocious that you stand no chance against the Lions at home. One shitty game was the deciding factor for 4 of the 6 teams at 11-5 who thought the Packers were gonna beat the Lions. The other 2 teams at 11-5 were the only teams to throw a bone to the Browns at home over the Ravens.

Yours truly actually submitted his form with an asterisk next to the Pack-Lions game, knowing that his allegiance to the Green and Gold was going to sink his chances at earning a Bench Swap. Loyalty sucks…and violates the #1 rule in fantasy football – play with your head, not with your heart.

More importantly, 2 teams have earned a Bench Swap! The winners are LockinUWL and Schoolya’gain at 12-4. See the Bench Swap page or the Constitution on the TheLombardiThree.com to learn how and when to exercise these Bench Swaps. They are eligible for use in Week 3, but will not help either team as Schoolya’ pulled off a nice win this week and Lockin’ has no one on his bench that performed well enough to warrant a Bench Swap. Keep a lookout over the next few weeks though as Schoolya’ and Lockin’ play the White Wes Welkers and Reservations For Six in Week 4, and Bagel Time and REDSKINS in Week 5. Watch out boys!

My advice: a win is a win, so use them as soon as you have the opportunity, as you may not have enough on the bench to use them later.

Well done this week everyone. Of note – everyone picked the Titans and Jaguars to lose, and only The Swallops picked the Jets to win. Till next year.

Well, that sucked again. But business first. There are still 3 deadbeat daddies out there who haven’t paid their child support. We need to incorporate some level of conformity to be fair to the rest of the players in the league, because halfway through the season (if your team sucks shit) you are that much less likely to pay your season dues at all. So that said, if League Dues aren’t paid by the conclusion of Week 4, I will disable the Add/Drop and Trade features on that team’s account. By the conclusion of Week 5 Roster Changes and Roster Options will be locked out. We are wrapping up Week 2 now so that gives you 2 full weeks to mow lawns, bag groceries, plant tulips, or whatever it is you have to do to pull together 25 bucks.

12 is the magic number people! Get those final Week 3 Ball Gazer forms to me before Thursday’s Buccs – Falcons matchup.

As far as Week 2 went, we were all toast by the conclusion of the 1:00 games. No one picked the Browns to beat the Saints, the Chargers to beat the Seahawks, or the Bears to beat the 49ers. The only 2 winners we all predicted accurately were the Broncos and Packers. Results follow. Nice work again E40.
