Fantasy Football

September 16, 2007 | Filed Under Main |

Yes! For the second straight year, I have been sucked into a fantasy football league. I know NOTHING about football. You throw a ball, you catch a ball, you tackle the guy who catches the ball until he has a concussion. (Right? Isn’t that the rules?) The only sport in the world where you WANT a 320 lb. guy who is only five foot eight on your team.

Well, last year I had a respectable run. But I didn’t have a star running back or wide receiver. This year - I have the wide receiver AND the running back… but I have no quarterback. I SHOULD have a quarterback in New Orleans’ Drew Brees. He and Reggie Bush (my other running back) were brilliant in the pre-season. Now, suddenly, they can’t score to save their lives. The season begins - and I’m stuck with lemons.

I shouldn’t even care. But I don’t want to seem like a total sports loser…

    Fantasy football has ruined my fall for the last 3 years but I just cant give it up. Are you going to see Mission of Burma on this little tour of theirs?

    Probably not. They aren’t coming to the Metropolitan area. You should get their DVD, though. It’s all about the comeback shows (which I saw) and has clips of some really early Boston gigs.

    Good for any time I’m jonesing…

    I am 2-0 in the early going with no running backs at all. If Steve Smith and Andre Johnson combine for 70 points a week for the whole season, I will be a lock to make the playoffs. However….New Murphys CD out today. Saw them on FUSE two weeks ago, it should be great (as usual).

    Well, I won my game anyway - despite my lackluster QB. However, I am WAAAYYYY on the shallow end points-wise in my league. Last year I lost a game to a team with only half its players on the field!

    Embarassing…
