Last week I blogged about how torturous it was to have an opponent with players going on Monday night while you helplessly retain and hope to retain the league.

This might be more torturous: Having two players going on Monday night, and big deficit, and making up all that lost ground, save a half a point.

As I write this, our team has Brett Favre and the Packers defense in the Monday night game. We were down a bunch, but now are trailing by a half point with 3 minutes left in the game. We need about 7 yards from Favre, a sack, interception, fumble recovery from the defense, or any TD to win, and I have this bad feeling we are not going to get it. The Broncos are about to get the ball back, hopefully the defense comes through. It might have been better if we never got close.

Yes, I love fantasy football, even when I absolutely hate it, like nights like this.

UPDATE: Turns out Favre on needed 1 yard to give us the win, but the Broncos just sent it to OT, and the Packers won the toss. Unless Favre throws a pick (we lose points in our league for turnovers), we should wrap this up, but perhaps I shouldn’t get cocky. I was on the edge of my seat hoping the Broncos wouldn’t score a TD at the end. Fantasy reasons aside, this has been a great game.

UPDATE 2: Should have been cocky. Holy effing poop. The legend of Favre continues.
