Nah, leave it as is. 

I don't like changing anyting once the season starts, and honestly, I don't think that it matters - especially if that's the way it's been.

If we did make a change, i would be in favor of putting players on bye when they play. This will avoid the situation last night where I was first to pick him up since he would have been on waivers. It also would still allow for last minute pickups on Saturday and Sunday if a team needed a fill in.

I don't like changing things in year either, unless it is a "fatal" mistake for the league season. I think it is definitely something to look at for next year.

The gauntlet is at your feet, sir.  The bet - $20 tab at Dahlia's - if you're man enough to accept.

It has to be based more than just this week. My QB is on a bye this weekand I have Matt Cassell going for me.

We face off again in week 8. We can bet on the two games combined, and if we split, than total points will be the tiebreaker, or we can bet final standings.

Alright!

We'll go with a combined score for the two weeks - I can't wait until the end of the year - delayed gratification isn't really my thing.   ;D  [insert 'That's what she said' comment]

Allright combined points for week 4 and 8 is the bet.

The only downside of this, since I will surely win, is that to reap my winnings will mean I will have to sit with you while having a drink.

Don't fret, because even though you'll be losing the match, you're still #winning. 

How you ask? 

Beer 1
I'll gladly speak of the joys of being in the lead through week 8 and won't hesitate giving you some much needed insight as to how you still may have an opportunity to join me in the playoffs. 
Beer 2
I'll try not to dwell on how horrid your team actually is, but will attempt to keep it positive as to how much room your team actually has for improvement.
Beer 3
By this point, the 9+ ABVs should start to kick in and I'll slide right into a mocking, passive aggressive attack on how bad your team really is, and all the different moves you should be making, the trades that you should have made and (towards the end) draft theory for next year - by now I'll be convinced that your pathetic team only has one option going for it, next year.
Beer 4
This is the self-realization beer when I start getting sentimental and blathering on about how lonely it is at the top, reminiscing of the first draft day at Hooters, and slowly coming to the realization that the season is already half over and how time just passes us by. 
Beer 5
We're no longer on your tab - if you happen to glance over your shoulder as you run to the door, the last image you'll probably see is Andrea glaring at you for getting me started and then bailing - thus making me her problem.

Ahhh, I can picture this like it already happened.  Can't wait.   ;D

Congratulations to the 8 playoff teams.

I take solace in having outscored two of them despite my 3-10 record.  That is all my season highlight video will point out.

Or you could be like me, outscoring your entire division and still missing the playoffs!

BT, what's the deal with the major turnover going on with your team?
