Happy championship week to many of you. If you participate in this column, I hope this tale of woe came via that one league you barely keep track of but only participate in it because one of your co-workers bullied you into it. And said person then manipulated the rules to the game and didn't allow two of the best guys at fantasy football not to participate even though the words "fantasy editor" appear in their job title.
I hope it's that kind of league.
It did happen to me. I found myself both rooting for and against Carson Palmer on Sunday night. Though it's pretty easy to determine which side you're on by doing the Jerry McGuire (show me the money).
(I already feel terrible for the dated reference, my bad.)
So let's dispense with the chit-chat and get down to the misery! Why do I sense a ton of Megatron discussion coming up?
@adamrank they need to throw it to Megatron and stop playing with my emotions. just 8 more points from Megatron. just 8!

@adamrank won my semi final with Stafford taking knees and a last second pass to Hightower. Not my #MondayNightmare pic.twitter.com/z1HPutrnG4

@adamrank Rematch vs Deflator was #MondayNightmare again. Hightower Td called back cause Saints O-lineman #65 didn't report he was eligible

@adamrank @NFLfantasy Had Danny Woodhead in my starting lineup til Sunday at 1245. Benched him for Javorius Allen. That was a bad decision.

@adamrank I only needed 6 points from Megatron to win. Ted Ginn would have won me my week. Never trust a Decepticon. #mondaynightmare

It will feel better if you share. Be sure to hit me up on Twitter @adamrank.
For the record, you can submit your fantasy questions to NFL Fantasy Live or me on Twitter. But realize, NFL Fantasy Live has 300K followers. Me? Just 14. See, the odds are better I will answer your question, so hit me up both via Twitter or via Facebook (if you're RG3). And if you follow me on Sundays, I'll quote "The Wolf" from "Pulp Fiction" and then it's game on! Although, it's tough to catch me on Facebook. Twitter is your go-to." Plus seriously people, I'm not taking your tweets after Midnight. I'm into the #HashtagWars via @Midnight. I've started to mute people who ask me questions at that time.
