Gotta love Nicks and Sproles bearing scratched shortly before the game!

That's a shame. Gave you no time to prepare, I assume. If it makes you feel any better, I faced Josh Gordon in both of my leagues. They are PPR and .5PR. Yelp.

The book definition for the word rant is, "to speak or declaim extravagantly or violently; talk in a wild or vehement way," and the examples that follow are almost exclusively negative. It could be square pegged into a positive setting, but it would seemingly be a misuse of the terms intention. The context is furthered by the original post:
 
 
"Since I'm sure a few of us already have some ranting to do, especially after last weeks games. Talk about a player that didn't quite go your way, or about going up against that GM from hell that despite a good performance on your end, you had no chance, among other topics."
 
 
Furthermore, a rant revolves around an issue. A positive occurrence with which one is happy about does not constitute as such.

And each link specifically includes the word, "positive," in its title because the term by itself carries with it a negative connotation, as provided by the book definition. This thread is labeled, "2013 Fantasy Rant Thread." It is not labeled the, "2013 Fantasy Positive Rants Thread," or the, "2013 Fantasy Rants About Positive Events Thread." Lastly, a title of an article does not override the proper definition of a term. I can't blatantly misspell a word, and offer an article with a misspelling in its title as proof that I've spelled the term correctly.

Ranting about ranting...

2nd most points generated, most points against, and dead last. Guy with the least points generated has a top 2 spot (week 14 bye). Also, he genuinely (or trollingly) thinks he deserves his spot as the players he used influenced who his opponents used supposedly. Ughhhhhh! He also beat me in our match because my Aaron Rodgers went down! All I needed was a mediocre performance from him too.

I am grabbing Peyton first overall next year if I get the chance. He is so freaking cheap.
