I had my shot, you know. If ever there was a week to knock off league powerhouse Biloxi Injuns, this was it. Biloxi has arguably two of the three best playes in the league, with RBs Alexander and Larry Johnson. Week to week I bet they average 45-50 points. But this week?
9.2
If you'd told me I could have them average 9.2 I'd take it every day of the week and twice on Sunday (no pun intendend).
If there was a week, this was it.
And I had my chances. Going into Monday Night's double header I was down by 4.5; each of us still with two players on the board. One of his players was LB Donnie Edwards (last year my high scorer), so it didn't look too promising. Still, it would probably all come down to Betts, the RB for Washington. A couple of touchdowns and some decent yardage and I'd have this thing.
I only started Betts because Clinton Portis (Washington's Stud RB) wasn't playing. Except, at the last minute, he was. Wouldn't you know it, Portis scored 9.2 points--which should have gone to Betts.
In case you can't add, I lost by 9.1 Where's Muddy Water when you need him?
Interestingly, my Fantasy League does a "Best Possible" score, which is what you would have scored if you'd made all the right moves and played So and so while you kept what's his name on the bench.
You know, just to rub it in.
Biloxi's "potential" score? 103.9, meaning he scored 92.78% of what he could have.
My "potential" score? 94.6, which means I had 92.28% of what might have been.
This means not only did Biloxi beat me straight up, but their potential beat my potential, their straight up beat my potential, and--this is the part that really hurts--their straight up beat my potential!
