I Never Thought It Would Come To This.

It was a sad day in my fantasy league yesterday, as I regretfully announce that my team had to part ways with Carson Palmer. To add insult to injury he was dropped to make room for the crazy bad Bobby Wade. You might be asking who Bobby Wade is? Well I don't know who he is either so don't look to me for an answer. I haven't even assigned him a locker yet. I thought it might be too soon, since Palmer hasn't officially cleared out his stuff. I'm not Mike Brown though, so he won't have to pay for the cleaning of his locker. 

Caption: Palmer and I had our ups and downs over the years but today was by far the hardest to get through. We laughed, we cried, we said our goodbyes. 

Seriously though, it wasn't all your fault Carson. Don't take it as a reflection on yourself. Just because the o-line let you get gangraped constantly all game every game you played in doesn't mean you'll always be the damaged fantasy goods that you currently are.  I'm trying to lead the best football team I can onto the field of the net and I can't allow your mangled elbow to hurt my bench depth any more this year. My team has too many injuries right now and you were the most expendable. Plus you're being tended to by the Bengals staff so you probably won't be healthy again for 2 or 3 years.

Fantasy football is a business and hopefully we can work together again in a couple years when we both are over this and can look back and laugh about how I cut you before you were officially out for the year. Then we'll both say, "What wild heedless times those were." Think about it this way, at least I didn't toss you out like a big bag of trash for a bye week replacement kicker. Or maybe I did, I made a lot of moves. There's no need to hash them all out. As a retirement gift I want you to have this cassette of the always uplifting Boys II Men. You'll feel better in no time.

Dear Carson's Right Elbow,

Please, please, please do not let the Bengals medical staff destroy you. Leave their facility now and do not return until you are healthy.

Trust us.

Your's truly,

I did the same think for CHAD PENNINGTON...I died a little that day.

You're not alone. I parted ways with him last week. In our league, if you drop a QB you have to pick up a QB. My best choice? Matt Hasselbeck.

I dropped him last week for a second defense in a bye week. It wasn't even a good defense. I felt dirty. But until Boomer is available on my fantasy board, there isn't a Bengal qarterback worth rostering.
