If I've counted correctly, I'm in 21 contests plus the blogger battle TOC. If that's not a season high it's very close and I could still add a couple more depending on what remains open as we get closer to kickoff. Go big or go home - I have less roster variation than usual, so it could be a great week or it could be a wipeout of epic proportions.
And now to spend the next 2.5 hours trying to find pregame coverage, watching for late scratches and generally keeping my fingers crossed that I went with the right guys. There are definitely times where I wish I was on the west coast with those 10 AM kickoffs.
On a completely unrelated note:
If you've been reading this site, you know that I like the Fantasy Sports Live product. I may offer occasional criticism - usually minor - or ideas for things I'd like to see, but overall I'm pretty happy. One thing that I've run into three weeks in a row now has started to bug me and I feel the need to vent about it: Please find the gremlins in the player database! Last week, I wanted to play Maurice Jones-Drew. Nowhere to be found. This week, I wanted to play a backup running back as a flier in a dollar contest. Not listed. On at least two occasions this year, I wanted to grab DeSean Jackson as a filler WR. No can do, no entry found. Arrgh. This isn't a major gripe, but it is an annoyance. I hope it's resolved before next season.
And now, on with the countdown.

Careful, you might get doomswitched!
There is something funky w/ the injury feed, it's been going on all year. It dropped players when they were removed from the injury report. Only a handful of the players were affected, but Mojo Drew was one of them.
I have noticed this a few times this year. It is annoying and frustrating for sure.
Sorry about the FB player issues. This is an intermittant problem with the roster feed, and it only effects five players. We have been trying to catch the issue for most of the season, but it has proved very difficult. We could have just removed the players from the pool for good until resolved, but three of them were good fantasy players (Cotchery, Drew, and D. Jackson), that people were constantly complaining about. Basically we would manually add them to the pool at the start of the week, and at some point during the week they would be dropped off of thier actual team and removed from the pool. When we noticed this we would add them back in, and they would remain until the end of the week (they were always availiable on the weekends). We are expecting this issue to resolve itself next year with updated 2009 rosters, but if not we will get it fixed. For all other sports, and all other players, the draft pool is locked down for the entire time.
