For the record, I'm very glad that we didn't reset the scores and eliminate some people from playoff weeks. That just wouldn't have been right. Not right at all.

I be trash talking because the chance of being in first place in this league ever again is quite remote.

I was just going to post something to the effect that it's been relatively quiet in here all year... No trash-talking, etc. With two weeks to go, things are pretty close.

You've got a nice lead, but not so much that it can't be overtaken in the next two weeks. There are still several people within striking distance, not only for the payout spots as a whole, but the overall winner as well.

Should be interesting... I've tried to manage my picks so that I have the right balance at the end... Not too many players left that I won't be able to use, yet not running out of options either. There will probably be a handfull of guys who I will have wished I had used at year's end, but the list of "Must-plays" has also changed significantly at almost every position from week 1 until now.

Definitely a challenge each week to gain ground... I was fortunate to be in the top 3-5 early, and have been fighting to stay there all year. It's been pretty interesting... I'm amazed each week at how many of us have several players in common each and every week (I'm sure the Huddle's weekly projections have nothing to do with that ). Nonetheless, this has been a fun alternative to last year's competition... I hope we can keep this going.

It sucks to be watching my back. It could happen so easily.

I had a good run in the middle, but I'm more or less out of studs, especially @ WR.

What's the secret? Besides not having any terrible weeks? Do those who are leaders map things out? Is it all guesswork? How far out down the schedule do you look at things?

I just try to miss as many land mines as possible. Then I change my mind and step in them anyway.
