Conflict of Interest: Marion Barber edition

Last week's conflict of interest was a mixed bag for me.

Drew Brees had a great game, helping me win in one league (and score a $10 bonus), while crushing me in the league where he was my opponent. I tried to resolve that by trading for him after that game, but, of course, Brees promptly screwed the pooch this past weekend (1 TD, 2 INTs). Ugh!

As for this week's conflict, things are a lot simpler (and a lot more depressing). I have no chance of winning the matchup in which I have Barber on my team, while, in my other league, my opponent owns Barber and I'm clinging to a narrow lead.

In short, I want Barber (pictured, right) to have a subpar game — and to stay healthy, of course.

Dream stat line for Barber: 15 carries, 65 yards, 0 TDs in a loss to the Eagles because I still kinda hate the Cowboys.
