Annoying

That Monday Night Football game was the best example of my No. 1 fantasy football pet peeve. Nope, it’s not when you are starting someone in one league that you are playing against in another league. It’s not benching the league’s player of the week. The thing that makes my blood boil more than any of that is game time decisions on injuries, especially surprising ones.

Fans who benched players on Sunday in favor of Brian Westbrook or Ahman Green on Monday got the worst possible news on Monday when it was announced both would be out of action. That’s kind of like a high school kid going to bed Sunday night with a forecast of eight inches of snow and waking up to see school will be on time. What a disappointment. I felt so bad for the poor souls in my league who had t pick up guys like Ryan Moats to start.

The whole Westbrook/Green debacle is really the tip of the iceberg with the injury issues too. How about when reports flip flop more than John Kerry during the week.

“Terrell Owens tried to kill himself.”
“Terrell Owens is not suicidal”
“Terrell Owens will travel with the team this week, but Bill Parcells won’t say if he’ll start.”
“Terrell Owens said he felt good in practice today, but this is the same guy who may or may not have tried to kill himself and may or may not have lied about it.”

I can’t deal with all that garbage. If I wouldn’t be at a competitive disadvantage I would just avoid the internet all week and update my roster Sunday morning. My life would be less stressful and I could spend all my free time working on trades.

If anyone lost a game because of Westbrook or Ahman Green, I want to hear about it.
