Last night I had my draft for my favorite fall pastime, fantasy football.
Being so competitive from the time the calendar flips to January 1 of every year, all the way until the middle to end of September given my career, it's hard to give up the competitive juices. This gives me an avenue to compete while I'm bored out of my mind during the fall season.
I'm in a league with 11 other of my friends, including my brother and of course Aubrey Herring and Joel Brown. Like I said before, we had the draft last night and we all were on line for it, it was cool catching up with everybody all at once.
Somehow Joel and his raggedy looking team won the Super Bowl last year, this is the fourth year of it for us and hopefully I can bring home my first title.
I'm confident in my squad, it shapes up like this:
QB- Matt Schaub (Hou), Eli Manning (NYG), Matt Ryan (Atl)
RB- Frank Gore (SF), LeShawn McCoy (Phi), Micheal Bush (Oak), Jahvid Best (Det)
WR- Lee Evans (Buf), Kenny Britt (Ten), Percy Harvin (Min), Steve Breaston (Ari)
TE- John Carlson (Sea)
K- Neil Rackers (Hou)
Defense- Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins
Pretty solid team, I like my chances. We'll see what happens. You can say I'm a fantasy junkie because I also play fantasy football, European style with the English Premier League. I'm killing in that as well, two weeks into the season.
The one rule I live by is that you should only have one team. I know people who have three or four teams, that's weak! It's like filling out ten brackets for the NCAA tournament!
The possibilities of the thing...

Always the competitor. Good luck with your team.
I wish I knew how the Fantasy teams worked. I am a huge football fan (college and pro).
I must say I'm quite disappointed I didn't see any Packers on your roster!!! I know Jared Allen beasted us last year but that will not happen again...lol
Good luck.
Your team should do fine especially w/ Eli Manning...oh yeah, let's go NYG!!! ;) p.s. Congrats on winning the Diamond League!!!
