Oh Come On, Like You Haven’t Been There
Sure you have. Let’s say, for example, that your league scoring system accidentally awards you two points for a fumble recovery by Philip Rivers. Of course this is an error, but nobody notices it until Monday morning, after, of course, your team has managed to hold off Donovan McNabb on Sunday night to win by just one point. You lose the two stupid Philip Rivers points, and lo: your team is 2-2 instead of your rightful 3-1.
This happened to me! Ahem. You can imagine how one might start feeling a little stabby.
The difference, of course, is that you suppress that burning rage. Maybe you go for a run, or pwn a few n00bs in Halo. Whatever it is you do to relieve the stress of caring too much about the cruel fates of a pretend football game — then is the time to do it.
Maybe this guy doesn’t own an XBOX:
A 35-year-old man was arrested Monday morning after he allegedly became upset over points in his Fantasy Football league and threatened to kill his roommate. According to a report from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, Chester Marcial “Chet” Ward, of the 4500 block of Duncan Road in Punta Gorda, allegedly sliced pages in the book his roommate was reading before holding a knife to his roommate’s neck and threatening to kill him.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it … at least once: Never trust anyone under 40 named Chet.
Of course, MJD has the takeaway point here: No stabbing in Week Four! Week 13, Week 14 — those final weeks when any playoff spot is up for grabs — those are the weeks exact your fantasy revenge in violent and inadvisable ways. Week Four? It’s still nice outside, man. You don’t want to go to prison yet.

And I haven't stabbed one single person today. These kids have no self-control...
