I was in about 5 leagues. The salary cap league I had Tom Brady and Tony Romo for pretty much the entire season. Nobody could touch me. The draft league that I run, I took Big Ben in like the 10th round and came out way ahead because that was a major value pick so I was able to stock up on RBs and WRs. Jason can handle fantasy stuff - well, unless it's like a gay stripper idol fantasy league - then he owns. LOL No, Jason is confusing our leagues. I was in about 5 leagues.

Please, Jeff. You had Ben Roethlisberger. I had Ben Roethlisberger. Everyone had Ben Roethlisberger. I'm not sure I fully understood all the rules in your pseudo-league, so I had to gracefully bow out mid-way through the season. You remember? It was right around the time all my players got hurt and I couldn't trade anymore. So, I'm sure next year will be different. But even I wasn't brave enough to keep Brett on the roster, no matter how much I loved him. Cause the Cowboys OWNED him! My, the two of you are getting along well these days…

In fact, I repeated as my League Champion. I also spanked Jason in my Salary Cap challenge, but I'm not sure he wants to speak about that publicly. There's always next year. Still, I've essentially grown up watching him play and it's going to be odd (if he stays retired) seeing some other QB for the Packers. I had Ben Roethlisberger and I did win last year.
