He actually went pretty early in our draft. I don't know...I'm really over fantasy football at this point. It really takes away from the game for me.

yeah, I always bench any players on my fantasy team whose teams play the skins on any given weekend... no matter who they are. it completely ruins the game for me. id rather lose a week in fantasy football than want one of our opponents to have success against our team. the lone exception is kickers - i want them to score field goals, not extra points.

Yeah, a few years ago, I had Rudi and Chad Johnson (back when he was still Johnson) and they lit the Skins up. I needed them to, the game got me to the playoffs, I won the league and $900, I felt dirty for rooting against my team, though.

EDIT:
Also, this idea that it makes games more interesting doesn't hold for me. I like football a lot and I enjoy watching every game, I don't want to be worried about whether or not my guy is getting a goal line carry when a great game is on the line. It's just annoying to me.
