I was hoping that we wouldn't lose anymore. Unfortunately that didn't happen and we lost 79.06 to 92.75 to Turdsicle.

I was glad he leapt froggy-style his way to third place after being at fifth place, because I thought he wouldn't hurt our ranking. When 252 Snaps & Counting lost, I thought he was going to go down at fifth, not us.

I guess we'll have to wait for him to lose again this week so we can go back to fourth place and he can take our fifth place spot.

My goal is to stay in the top four, because then we get to play in the playoffs.

But I think our players have a different plan. Reggie Bush, running back from the New Orleans Saints, had surgery on Monday, and his return is unclear. I remember choosing him because his name sounded familiar. Later on it turned out he was in fact a great player and he ended up getting our team most of the points we needed to win previous weeks.

Now I'm not sure what's going to happen. I asked a friend in the league for advice. After all I don't think a rookie is any threat to him.

The suggestion of this undefeated player was to trade Indianapolis Colt's quarterback Peyton Manning and try to get a good running back. Manning is a good quarterback, though he is not performing as well as I would have hoped. However, I'll hopefully be able to get us a good running back, but after writing this column, I don't think my teammates will want to trade.

It's sad because everyone in the league is trading and I'm the only one that hasn't traded yet. I didn't even have a chance to refuse a trade to The Loose Poopmen, remember?

By the time the column was printed, he canceled the trade.

This time I promise I'll give in. I won't be easy, I'll look into what you have to offer. Hopefully we'll both feel good about it.

This week, I'm not sure what our team will look like. We play the Donald Duckers, who are currently right behind us.

I just know that our quarterback Philip Rivers from the San Diego Chargers, the one that was our only hope, is on a bye week.

Hopefully we won't lose. If we do, let it be by a little because I'm also expecting for Snaps & Counting to lose. That would allow us to remain in fifth place.
