How do you not start Peyton Manning?

[Listener]

Peyton Manning has thrown no TD passes in two games.  The Colts are 3-0.  They've proven that Manning doesn't have to throw.

Except that he's my fantasy QB.

I have to start him next week because my backup, Trent Dilfer, is on a bye week.  But if Manning doesn't start throwing touchdowns, I think it's going to be time to make a trade.

How do you not start Peyton Manning?  That's how.

who would have thought Dilfer would be lighting up Manning in fantasy points after 3 weeks?

[Listener]

Yeah, really.

Actually, I got my leagues confused.  Roethlisberger is my backup to Manning.  Dilfer is my backup to Tom Brady & Jake Delhomme in my other league.

Still...

When you fantasize about Peyton Manning, is he all sweaty and still in his pads, or fresh out of the shower?

I'm just curious as to how fantasy football works.

Sweaty and still in his pads.

[Listener]

That's disturbing.

That's disturbing.

Hey, you're the one who chose him as your first draft choice....

[Listener]

Yeah, well... my list was:  Peyton Manning, LaDanian Tomlinson, Daunte Culpepper, then a bunch of runningbacks.

*shrug*

He'll pan out.  And if he doesn't, I'll trade him like I did last year.

Peyton was a couple of years ahead of me at UT. The only differece between him and me is that he is famous, makes a lot of money, and has a road on campus named after him.

Turn off his alarm clock?

Yeah, I have the same story with Drew Bledsoe.  He's exactly one day younger than me but makes more in one game than I'll make in the next 4 years combined.  Oh, and I didn't got to WSU.
