The Winner’s Box
Quote: “Peyton Manning. The name should be pretty familiar to a few people. Namely, my good friend
and co-worker, Marlon Scott. He should actually cringe when he hears this name because not once, not
twice, but I have defeated him three times with that very quarterback. I should just rename my squad to,
Manning and the High Level Associates. You see, I don’t smack talk very often, but Scott knows he hold a
special place in my heart. It’s a tiny place, but oh, it’s there. When opportunity arises for me to look at
Scott from the top, I jump on it like moths to a flame. I like to win two games in fantasy, both against
him.”

Week three is done.

We all have an idea of the players we are glad to have, wish we had and can not believe they are playing so bad. We hope all the significant injuries are done as well as major depth chart changes (sorry Kevin Kolb).

We even have a feel for the other managers in our league: their strengths, weaknesses and trash talking ability.

Just like breaking in a new fitted cap, everything seems comfortable.

Then, the bye weeks start. Key players are about to take a vacation and they have to be replaced. We either have depth to still win or start shopping on the waiver wire. What are we willing to cut just to have a full roster?

The game just changed from checkers to chess. Now we have to think three steps ahead.

But, before we look ahead with both hope and fear, lets look back.

The nice guy is all smiles because his “G.O.O.D team” has racked up enough points to be number one in the league. If that was not bad enough, as of press time, his team was also the overall winner for week three.

I was already nauseous when I saw I was ranked five out of six after two weeks. Losing to my arch nemesis in week three was more than my system could take. Now I need a breath mint and some better strategy for the future. Luckily, this is not a sprint but a test of endurance. TAS

Anthony Shingler is second on the chart with 267.12 points.

Scott loses a consecutive match against arch rival Devon Robinson.
