Alright, my survival pick is safe!  Now, zipperilla and Jon have to wait it out to see if a) they'll play me next week or b) I'll be the Champion of the World™!

That was so incredibly careless of Rosenfels.  I wouldn't've picked them, had I known Schaub was out, btw.

Hey Zip

Sure wish that DeAngeloWilliams would give Stewart a chance to score out of the backfield some today.
We have alot of Panthers playing against each other in fantasy today.
KC should force the Panthers to kick more field goals.

I need all the points I can get. I didn't know Matt Shaub wasn't playing. I think you did right.
