Notes/Stat Leaders

-Our overall leader is Joel Kretzinger with a PER of . Joel was honeymooning in Europe during the first three weeks of the season and gave me his picks before he left. How does it make you feel to know that I guy who didn't get to watch a down is beating us all down?

-I am no mathematician, and I don't really even look at the PER equation- just plug the numbers into the program- but it seems to me that yards don't really matter, completion percentage matters a little bit and touchdowns and interceptions mean everything.

-I am in 39th place out of 40 at the moment (thanks for neglecting to make a pick last week Wrightman!). I think that my problem is that the my pick's coaches know how bad they suck, so they call a conservative game plan and run the ball all game. Or they complete tons of short stupid passes that the defenses give them. Like I said, yards don't matter.

-Not watching the games is killing me. For instance, a lot of people had DA for week one and he had a decent (for this game) 85 PER or something. Almost 300 yards, no INTs, but all I heard about was how awful he was. I guess there is something to be said for watching the games live. Also, I have heard that Carson Palmer has already had about a dozen dropped INTs.

-Seneca Wallace burned a lot of people last week (myself included). The numbers looked decent, but there is no way he could have had a good game right?

-If you chose Dixon for week 2 I gave you credit for his performance and that of Charlie Batch. Good for you.
