Fantasy Football Running Diary

9 p.m.
So here I am watching the closing minutes of the Cowboys/Redskins game. I'm losing by 4 points in my league. It was tied but then Roy Williams got a sack for the Cowboys. My league has individual defensive players. I'm gonna drop to 0-2 in my league unless my last player, Marcus Washington can somehow come up with an interception or a sack. The Redskins have the ball and they're losing. There's no way in hell they are coming back.

9:10 p.m.
Oh my god, the Redskins just threw a bomb for a TD. After the extra point, they'll be up by 1. I still have a chance. The Cowboys are going to get the ball back. There is 2 minutes left. The only problem is the guy I am playing has Drew Bledsoe and Julius Jones. Here is what needs to happen. Drew Bledsoe throws an interception and Marcus Washington returns it for TD. That would pretty much guarantee victory for me. Or Marcus Washington sacks Bledsoe twice in-a-row. Here we go.

9:12 p.m.
This is what football is all about. Watching the end of the game, not because you care which team wins, but because you're praying a defensive player is going to get a sack or make an interception. Damn it , I don't have a chance. If anything, I am going to lose by even more. Jones just rushed for 5 more yards. Incomplete pass by Bledsoe. There's still a chance.

9:17 p.m.
This is horrible. I'm losing everything tonight. In my other league I would have won if Joe Horn hadn't fumbled on the 1 yard line. He was about to score his second TD of the game, giving me the victory, but he fumbled on the 1 yard line. Damn it. Not that it matters that the at the time the Saints were losing by 17 and there was only 50 seconds left in the game. I'm not addicted or anything though.

9:20 p.m.
The Cowboys just turned it over on downs. It's all over for me. Washington didn't get a tackle, interception, or sack. Nothing. My team would have beaten any other team in the league, except the one that had Roy Williams, picking up that sack. The clock is ticking down. Washington played it conservative and they're about to punt. Let's hope Marcus Washington is on the punt coverage team.

9:24 p.m.
The Cowboys didn't return the punt, so no points for Washington. 36 seconds left, Bledsoe throws incomplete. Marcus Washington needs to come up big for me here. Send him on a blitz. Incomplete again. My heart skipped a beat as the Redskins nearly got an interception. 25 yard completion. Clock running down. The Cowboys have a chance. 10 seconds left. They are almost in FG range. Incomplete. 4 seconds left. They have to throw in the endzone. It's too far to kick a FG. It's all over. The Cowboys tried a screen pass to Julius Jones. Great more points for Jones and Bledsoe. What a disaster. How the hell did the Redskins win this game. Freaking ridiculous. I'm 0-2. Oh well there is always next week....
