Everybody on the 'net said Houshmandzadeh was going to play.  He didn't.  McNabb, McCallister and Westbrook scored a combined 14 points.  Thank God for the Colts D.  (25 points).  
So, Tomlinson, the best fantasy RB in the league only has to score 19 points to hand me my first loss.  Go Steeler defense.
Looks like the "Scouts" should have scouted the bye week...

I finally had a decent week after you spanked me last week, Keenan. 
I think I'm going to keep that Rackers kid from Arizona as my backup kicker and trade or waive Janikowski. The Pats defense is also soon to be history from my roster, but I can ride the Steelers D the rest of the season because they are past their Bye week.
Doggone injuries are going to catch up with all of us soon. By mid-season it could be interesting trying to fill a roster and guess who is going to step up and perform.
I come out of this week 2-3 and hope to improve to .500 next week against the "Scouts" -- unless Jose wakes up and does some fixing of his roster.

I should be able to survive tonights game. Since Jose has two out for bye week I really should have done better against him, but a win is a win.
Next week I'll be hurting a bit, with Philly having their bye week, but I think I've got them covered.

I think I could have done something to make myself the commissioner or something when I set the league up but I am new at this.  There has to be a way to mete out the rosters of people that quit.
Maybe next year. I think the Scouts owner bailed and I really need a running back or a decent WR since McCallister is out for the season.
See, I told you guys it wouldn't last. Anyone need a QB? Leftwich is going cheap for a half @ss running back...

74-73? One lousy point! Who's going to stop this guy?

I had a great weak due to Steve McNair... yep that's right. Bruised Battered Stevey did very well. 
Who is the Commissioner of our League? We have the "Undroppable Player" Rule in our League and it is preventing me from dropping Willie Parker. He's now sharing time with the other 3 running backs and I want to get rid of him. The system won't let me drop him without our League Administrator (the commish) to approve it.

I am trying to figure that out too.  I think it should be me since I set the league up.  Deuce is out for the season with a torn ACL and I can't drop him...

Perhaps you can change the League settings? I'm optimistic enough to think that we won't collude to beat each other! It's all for fun anyway!

Rodger,
The list of "undroppables" is at the website below. I can't change the league settings. Well, if I can I can't find out how.
Shaun
http://games.espn.go.com/cgi/ffl/request.dll?UNDROPPABLES
EDIT: I found this: Undroppable Players
The 'Undroppable' list is comprised of players who cannot be dropped to waivers at any time during the season. ESPN introduced this feature to prevent collusion (In these cases, owners would be able to drop star players, allowing those first on the waiver wire to pick them up). League managers in Custom Leagues can choose if they want to allow owners to be capable of dropping all players or be prevented from dropping designated players. View your League Settings page to see how your league is configured. In Standard Leagues the list is enforced at all times.
Then somewhere else it says you can change the "undroppable" setting anytime during the season...
I am at a loss. I may have to email them.
Another Update: I was just able to drop McCallister...
