Guys... I don't know what to say really.
Nine hours until the first Sunday games to kick off the 2013 NeoGAF No Quitters 5 Yahoo Fantasy Football league begin. Either we all heal our flawed teams as well as we can, or we are going to crumble. Player by player, fantasy point by fantasy point, until we are finished.
We're in Hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. That place where research is meaningless without quantitative game data to back up our assumptions, yet hope that our teams are hot shit when they might really just be shit. That's Fantasy Football Hell, guys. And we can stay there and get that shit kicked out of us by the opposition, or you can fight your way back into the Light an have the Fantasy Gods smile benevolently upon you. We can climb out of Fantasy Football Hell, one point at a time...
Now, I can’t do it for you... I’m too competitive. I look around and I see these young new GAFfers and I think... I mean, I've tried to make every right choice a manager could make at my draft position. But I uhh…. probably pissed away all my trade luck, believe it or not. I dropped so many players who became key components of other teams in the past. I dealt away key pieces in past years and had it bite me in the ass. I've suffered misfortune and injuries to so many of my players over the years. And lately... I can’t even stand the face of Ryan Mallet every time I see him on the Patriots.
You know when you get too competitive in life, things get taken away from you. That’s... that’s part of life. But you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out that life is just a game of points. So is fantasy football. Because in either game, life or fantasy football, the margin of error is so small, so infinitesimal. I mean, one early season injury to a Top 3 Draft pick, and you don't make the playoffs. One yard short or muffed pass, you don’t quite get the TD score. One terrible transaction or dropped opportunity, and you don’t succeed. The fantasy points we need are everywhere around us. They are in every break of the game. Every minute, every second....
In the No Quitters League, we fight for those points... In the No Quitters league, we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for those points... We claw with our fingernails for those points... Because we know... we know when we add up all of those points, that’s going to make the motherfucking difference between WINNING and LOSING, between making the PLAYOFFS, or walking off in DISGUST...
I’ll tell you this; In any fight, it is the man or incredibly lucky woman who is willing to die who will win those points. And I know if I am going to have any fantasy life in this league anymore it is because I am always willing to fight and die for those points. I am going to hawk the waiver wire at 5 am in the morning and research all the Fantasy sites/forums for the latest player data – because THAT IS WHAT WINNING IS: a way to acquire those fantasy points you might've left on your bench!
Now, I can’t make you do it. You gotta look at your opponent in this week's match-up. Look into his soul... Now, I think you are going to see a guy who will go for those points against you. You are going to see a guy who will sacrifice himself and possibly his own well-being for his team. Because he knows when it comes down to it, you are probably going to do the same thing to him.
That’s a fantasy league, ladies and gentlemen. And either we play now, as well-made teams... or most of us will die as humiliated individuals.
That’s Fantasy Football, people... That is all it is.
Now, what are you gonna do?

Dinner Out - Cloudy's cousin. Defending Champion and only 2-time winner in the No Quitters League. Not a GAFfer, so don't bother trying to PM him on GAF.
Ember Island Players - GCQuinton. Comes back for a 2nd year and is trying to make up for the poor showing of the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie and lackluster Avatar: Legend of Korra ratings by winning this year.
A Touch of Rivers - Cloudy. The Commish. Still harbors a weird obsession with light-skinned black girls in Japanese animation. Looking for a way to draft multiple players on one team and have lasting success.
First Place Loser - Kememsi. GAF lurker. At one times possessed some of the most amazing luck this side of Vegas, but now is showing some cracks in her armor.
Good As Gould - rinker. Longtime Robbie Gould fan. Solid player looking to use his winnings to meet his hero next year.
Long Island Broskis - UberTag. Finished 2nd in 2012, is looking for revenge on Cloudy and all his comrades for years of beatings by trashtalking as much as possible.
Sinistar - Sinistar. After one and done sophomore season, he's looing to progress into the Finals. By any means necessary.
Hookers And Blow - Azwethinkweiz. Finished 3rd in 2012. After barely being edged out in the 2012 Semis, he hopes to take his stance of quality drugs and loose women all the way to the Championship game this year.
*PK Boosters - fep. This rookie is hoping to accomplish what has only been done once in No Quitters League history: win the title in his first year of participation.
*Psycho Crushers - MBison. This rookie is looking to cut a path of destruction and dominance much like a former Shadaloo ruler.
Redbull Express GAF - acksman. After a disappointing campaign in 2012, the team formerly known as Romo Wittenhispants is hoping a new name and focus will carry him into the Second Season.
TD's N' Beer - minx88. Still trying to find the formula for reaching the Playoffs, he has incorporated the teachings of The Office character Dwight Schrute for success.
baseball season when - Enron. The team formerly known as Josh's Taco Cabana suffered such a stunning, 2010 Atlanta Braves-like collapse in his rookie year he still hasn't recovered yet, hence the name change. Can he heal his wounded soul with a deep run in the Fantasy postseason?
*SirGarbagemen - SirGarbagemen. Rookie #3. A sanitation worker from London, he was knighted after providing expert advice to Prince William, helping him win his league. Now he's taking his knowledge to American shores and looks to take the title home.
They Might Be Giants - The Frankman. After a gut-wrenching loss to the Long Island Broskis in the 1st Round due to Ryan Mallet's incompetence
, he's looking to put together a title season by looking to nab a circle of his former players from previous teams.
*The Hibachi Grill - donjeezy. The fourth rookie in the league, he's looking to parlay his culinary skills to slice and dice the competition and burn his opponents with his football knowledge.

i knew I was forgetting something.Didn't FPL do that in 2011? The year Cam was such a beast
Why would you drop a rotation WR with a great QB for a guy who won't be ready until week 7 at the earliest?
I dropped the Titans defense for the Colts as well. You weren't the only over-thinker

Why is Rodgers refusing to throw to James Jones? Did I miss something?

Nah, it's coming down to Garcon/Davis. Garcon against the Philly CBs can put up 20 points, not worried.

Eli just needs to hit his 16.22 projection. Anything much higher is gravy.
