Whats up with them?...It's noon and they still haven't updated from last night?

I want to see just how bad an asskicking I delivered last night...I am tearing them up this year...the second place team is 10 games back...I just hate the friggen playoffs, though...My fantasy teams are always the Mavericks of the league...I will kick ass on the 21 week regular season and then somehow get screwed in the damn playoffs...Last year I had an epidemic of ankle tweaks in the second round and then Pop "rested" Ginobili on a coaches DNP at Golden State...If I had had oone more steal or one more three I would still have won... %$&*@#$!

Speaking of fantasy sports, I'm quitting after this season.

I never remember to set my teams in time. And having fantasy teams ruins watching the sport for me. I always think about what my fantasy players are doing instead of just enjoying the games.

It's fun at first and addicting, but I'm retiring from fantasy sports.

I liked the nba.com salary cap challenge. That had a different type of daily nature, so I could make it part of my routine and kept on top of it. I only played for the first half, but had a good time doing that and finished surprisingly well.

Ditto.

I was leading one of the SpursTalk fantasy leagues in Yahoo, but then I just stopped caring. Not playing next year as well. I'd rather pull for the players I actually like. Too much on my plate already.

And it starts. Went into the playoffs 15 games ahead of 2nd place. Chris Webber goes down this week. Manu will probably be a coaches DNP. Some buttwipe that got eliminated last week dropped Shawn Marion to waivers for grins and the guy in my head-to-head for the championship has the highest waiver rank...shit.

I thought the Yahoo Leagues had a "Can't Drop" designation to prevent shit like that.

I had 10 leagues going on this year, it was ridiculous. I only paid attention to 4 of em by the end.
