==Bottom dwellers==
Well, we're only [http://www.centiare.com/images/2/20/3_Pairs_Sep09.xls one game into the contest], and already I'm sitting at the bottom of the pack, with those two dudes from KidsHealth.org.  Damn you, Drew Brees, damn you!  --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 11:45, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

==Manning vs. Brees==
When I selected last year's top two quarterbacks (by yardage) for our first month's [http://www.centiare.com/Three_Pairs_NFL_Pool/Rules#FANTASY_PLAYERS Fantasy component], I had no idea that the two of them would be launching the season with a head-to-head matchup.  I saw about 15 minutes of the game while working out at the YMCA.  Brees didn't look that bad in the first quarter.  The final stats suggest he was completely schooled by Manning.  Ugh, it's going to be a long September. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 11:45, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

==We have 17 participants==
Our participant count dropped by about 50% from last year.  I guess I didn't notify prospects early enough in August.  Ah, well -- at least each player's chances to win money have doubled. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 11:45, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

==Fantasy rosters for October==
With October fast approaching, next week we'll be throwing up new players to choose from for the subsequent four weeks.  That means two new QBs, RBs, and WRs.  If we were to take the league leaders (currently) in each category, that would mean:
:*QBs -- Jon Kitna (Detroit) and Carson Palmer (Cincinnati)
:*RBs -- Willie Parker (Pittsburgh) and LaMont Jordan (Oakland)
:*WRs -- Chad Johnson (Cincinnati) and Randy Moss (New England)
I'm squeamish about having two Bengals in the mix, plus we already started the year out with Chad Johnson.  We can always see what develops after Week 4. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 06:13, 25 September 2007 (PDT)
:We have done Chad Johnson, lets put Randy Moss vs. Roy Williams, or maybe Chris Chambers they have all put up big numbers. 
:For running backs, the guys at the top could be from one big week and sucking the rest of the time(see Jamal Lewis #3), plus Jordan is going to lose some carries once Rhodes finishes serving his suspension.  I'd like to see the rookie face off Marshawn Lynch vs Ddrian Peterson (of the Vikings, not the Bears backup). Or maybe the third year running backs Cedric Benson vs Cadillac Williams. 
:For QB, no offense to the Lions as they are likely to kick my beloved Bears ass this week, but i'd rather match up Tom Brady vs Carson Palmer.  Or we could go "battle of the old guy that should retire while they are in Florida" -- Trent Green vs. Jeff Garcia. 
:Just my thoughts.   Great pool so far this year, and I'm not saying that just because my wife is in first place. -- [[User:Veste|Veste]]
