YEAH, BUT...

Did anyone's fantasy football team get screwed by the Eagles' last minute decision not to play Brian Westbrook last night? If so, you are not alone.

This week I had one of those fantasy football games that I had mentioned about a week ago... "a must win." This time I was playing my husband, who is not only the commissioner of the league, but he also started the season 3-0, with the most points scored in the entire league. I was up by 53 points going into last night's game but he had Brian Westbrook, Dante Stallworth, and LJ Smith. Could you tell he is an Eagles fan??

It was going to be a very close call (we were head to head all weekend) until the Eagles announced that Westbrook would not play. By this point it was too late for my husband to put another player in from his bench, so needless to say... I won! Normally I would scream and cheer, jump around the room, do whatever i have to do to rub it in. But this was more of a "Yeah, But" kind of win and those are so much less fun. Everytime i laugh or smirk to indicate that I am better at the sport of fantasy football then he is... he replies with, "Yeah, but if I had Westbrook in..."

It was a big win; we are both 3-1 now, but still, Andy Reid's last minute decision took out all the fun and glory.
