If the 49ers keep up this winning I might have to change my team name.

Please take my name out of the post and replace with my username.

I've edited the post per your request but I'm not going to remember to do it every week. I suggest you update your information on ESPN unless you care to make that request on a weekly basis.

It took a full week for ESPN to actually do this after I changed the setting.

Well like I said, if he wants to remind me every week, I'll be happy to do my part, but I'm just copying whats on the screen and I believe is visible to anyone who clicks through to the league page.

I understand and thank you for the edit.

Same for me. I changed it in ESPN a few days ago.

I've just removed all names from the ESPN league. I'll update my script before it runs next week.

Also, it would appear that, unlike Fleaflicker, the league isn't publicly visible so you needn't worry there, either.

ESPN's site overall is truly horrendous. Well, mostly just the UI. I am thankful for the quality of the iPhone client so that I don't have to use the site itself much.

This. I prefer ui over instant stats.

If we switch all the leagues over to ESPN next year, are we going to have to use the crappy waiver only system with no FA's? I really don't like that...

Also, I just realized that at 2-3, I am in first place in my division in the Keeper League... and here I was basically throwing away this season and playing for next year. Maybe I shouldn't be doing that and we should just rename the division to the NFC West since whoever comes out of that mess in the playoffs will likely be under .500.

Funny, that's one of the things that was in the "Pros" column on my sheet.

It should be pointed out that having any free agency at all after Thursday is a concession to being more player-friendly.

Usually in blind bidding systems, as is the case with the WCOFF rule set, free agency is what happens on Thursday, and that's it. You make your bids and you make sure to have all your contingency bids all figured out because what happens on Thursday when they process is all you get.

So, I would not nitpick as to the nature of post-Thursday free agency. My original opinion was to follow the WCOFF rules in this regard, but that wasn't possible under FleaFlicker. Now, everyone is used to being able to get free agents after Thursday, so I don't think I would advocate taking it away, but it is a nicety for more casual play.

I didn't initiate this trade. This is a non-PPR league. Interested on your thoughts.

I trade Cedric Benson, Cin RB, Lance Moore, NO WR

for

A.J. Green, Cin WR, Dexter McCluster, KC WR

I should add that I just picked up Jackie Battle also. Battle and McCluster might be a good idea for me going forward. Maybe.

In the X league, I started all buffalo receivers. Now Jones is out 4 - 6 weeks, I have to use a 49ers receiver. The top 4 receivers for the team are on my bench and here are the letters next to their names: P, P, O, IR.

I'm having one of those weeks where my starters are my opponent's starters in another league.

Around halftime of the early games, I switched out Billy Cundiff for Neil Rackers. Cundiff is currenly my second-leading scorer and pretty much the only reason I'm even close in this weeks matchup.

Man, one of those weeks where I hate fantasy football.

Oh, this is going to be a close one in the 2 tomorrow night.

So Jason Campbell done for the season with a broken collarbone, sucks for the Raiders. Are his backups any good?

I have 2 words for you, Kyle and Boller.

Screw it man, they should just start Terrelle Pryor.

Saints coach Sean Payton’s leg is wrecked on sideline

Payton had X-rays during halftime, and Fox Sports reported that Payton suffered a broken knee, broken tibia, and a torn MCL. You're reading that correctly. Payton continued to coach with a broken leg and torn ligament. He moved off of the sidelines in the second half but did not leave the stadium, staying in the Saints' locker room to coach the rest of the game.

Yeah I heard something when I was in the bathroom at the game about Payton coaching from the booth. But we didn't really get what the hell happened. They stopped play for what looked like an injury on the sidelines very early in the 1st but no one ever seemed to know who was hurt.

Decisive victory in 1. Decisive loss in K. And who knows in X - a 117.2 point lead, but Grump's entire roster save for 1 plays tonight.

Looks like losses in FFL3 and in my other league. Only good thing is there is no way I could have won. I didn't make any mistakes in starters/bench, just got outscored.

Moving on.

First loss for me in the Keeper league (barring a miracle). Mostly thanks to Bradshaw. Won in GWJFFL2. Mostly thanks to Bradshaw.

Le sigh.
