CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Commissioner League: Domination Early By Undefeated firstPick

Back in the day, long after walking to and from school in the snow without shoes, conducting a fantasy football was actually a lot of work. Aside from doing the research, we didn't have the luxury of computers to do all statistical calculations for us. We'd calculate the totals ourselves, "happily" learning Excel spreadsheet formulas, and then putting together all of the related stats to please a competitive testosterone-filled community, showing evidence of their sheer domination.
Personally, I stink at fantasy football. My last time playoff appearance, I'm pretty sure, was back in the day when Cincinnati first made the playoffs during the Marvin Lewis era, and that's only because I drafted the God of the Golden Arms, Carson Palmer (at least that's what we called him at the time). Since then, I'm like the Cleveland Browns of Fantasy Football. Except this year, the Browns are more likely to win their second game than I am.
We setup a CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Commissioner League at Cincy Jungle with 14 members, staff writers and moderators. After giving the staff first shot at a spot, I reached out individually to readers that were the most frequent commenters. Through five games this year, my stupid team sits at 1-4, having one of the league's worst points scored in the league. That's what I get for actually believing that Joe Flacco will have a breakout performance this year, not against the Bengals -- I started Sam Bradford over Flacco against the Bengals. What the hell was I thinking?
Aside from WHYUS!!, who I think forgot he was in this fantasy football league even though he has Drew "freaking" Brees, everyone has scored a win. firstPick is the only the player with an undefeated record with three other teams sporting a 4-1 record and seven teams with winning records.

A cool thing about fantasy football is even if your favorite team sucks, you still have something to root for
Not to toot my own horn but I’m 8-1 combined in two different leagues and won the league championship in the only one I played in last year. Also a side note FX’s “The League” is a pretty funny show about a group of guys and their fantasy football league.
Depends
If next year we’re forced to use pay leagues, then yea, we’ll do the same thing.

Thanks for the embarrassment Josh.
At least I’m in first place in 3 other leagues. And my money league, I’m 4-1..
But I think things are going to change for me in this league. Malcom Floyd had a breakout game and I didn’t play him this past week, I would’ve won if I did.
:-)
BTW, if you’re not planning to run your team, let me know. We can do a trade… wink, wink… don’t tell anyone.

Na, I'm good, I'm playing it out till the end. Just like with the Bengals.
I finally, this week, have a projected 17 point advantage. Up in advantage points for the first time in this league. This train has a long ways to go.
I'm projected to win this week too, which will be the first time this year.
I need a RB though, so if anybody has any trade offers, I’m all ears.
This is our year!
Terrell Owens is carrying my team...
good to know there are no “miscommunications” in fantasy.

What does everyone's team look like?
I got Rivers, Chris johnson, jamal charles, roddy white, Brandon lloyd, antonio gates, Santana moss, Mike wallace, benjarvis green-ellis, mason crosby and the Bengals D. In my league I am currently averaging 132 points a game
