...my team blows! Rolling 100 on the dice roll (check), preseason draft analyst saying worst draft in league (check), top receiver losing QB in first 10 minutes of season (check), over rated under performing RB (check), holding out hope that this WILL BE the year Kitna explodes (check), constantly having players with 0 FP in a week (check).
I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that the Tornados may be the worst Dugout expansion team in history, but we will prevail. As a team we have set high goals for the remainder of the season.
1. Score over 100 FP at least 2 more times this season
2. Have 1 game where at least 3 of my RB/REC score more than 10 points
3. Finish the season with a .500 record
Now I know these goals are lofty, but my team is ready and leadership will come from somewhere (I hope). Until then congrats on the early win to those of you who have yet to face my awesome team. On a positive note my one win did come against Jeff, so the season is not a total wash.

You are learning the hard way that Dugout, though it is a FREE league is still very tough. You have been dealt a tough hand with landing the bookend picks and some bad luck with Brady going down and impacting Moss, Grant being a dissappointed to this point, but I like your positive attitude to make some positive goals to shoot for. If you can beat Jeff to complete the sweep that alone may help salvage your season as you will have bragging rights all offseason.

The one thing that you did that puzzled me was the fact that you took a PASS in the Supplemental Draft. The one nice reward you get from being in the bookend is that you the get best spot to cherry pick some of the talent that emerges from TC and you declined a pick.

I rookie mistake that I am sure you will not repeat next year.
Good luck the rest of the season, as I felt that way last year and I was able to climb up enough to actually make the playoffs last year, despite the fact that Ninja kicked the heck out of my squad in Week 1 of the playoffs.
