Any updates on the Spyhunter Vs. CC Desperados pre-season Challenge?

Hi, funny, I just put in a comment in another thread.

We have flip flopped back and forth through the season, with my earlier in the season being above him a bit and now him above move. Right this second, he is at 17th, while I am at 117th.

However, I would like to point out that my mockery of Oliver Perez at the 9th round was well founded

Sadly, my team has been hurt by lack of production of Aram Ramirez and Felix Hernandez. Things I got right: Garciaparra, Hanley Ramirez, Liriano, Scott Rolen, Curt Schilling. Things I got wrong: Aramram, Felix, Lidge, Hermidia, Pena, Orvella. My outfield has just been a mess with Pena, Craig Wilson, Burnitz, all sucking

So, net net, a good battle and I am having a blast

I drafted bad in that league and have no one else to blame but myself.

Brian- if the season ended today how much would have won in this contest? And how close are you to not even winning that little amount.

I have never seen someone so arrogant who has accomplished so little.

[/QUOTE]Never made excuses and I'm quite happy with a 2005 fourth place finish in the grand scheme of things, thank you very much. If you always finish in the top half of your league in a contest that pays back 75%, it is eventually a profitable enterprise.

And of course I am bragging. Half the fun is supposed to be in the smack talking. Isn't that why you and I got into that little league against each other in the first place?

On a lighter note, it was easy to make drafting mistakes in a league that early.

I've watched CC's Desperados go from 315th in the beginning of May to 17th as of Sunday. I thought he was dead, but I guess that's why they play 162 games to a season.

Shawn, best of luck in keeping your number #1 overall ranking in the NFBC main event.
