I... I bought the real time stat track thing.

I don't know why I did but I did. It told me 92-75. Unless Toomer fumbles ten times tomorrow night...

And he's a Giant. That's possible.

Welker and Peterson went nutsoid, that's really the only reason a dude won. I'll admit that.

But oh yeah, fantasy sport does that to all of us, but especially in football.

At least in baseball, man, there's so so so many games that it pretty much evens out.

Seventeen weeks, seventeen chances to bench your one guy who goes nutsoid.

The interesting thing is that... starting as my quarterback is basically a curse to do jackshit.

Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Jay Cutler... they all suck.

What I got is two good running backs, one good wide-receiver, one good tight end, two acceptable defenses and two acceptable kickers.

If I had a consistent QB, ever, I'd probably be respectable at this game.

My secret to winning Fantasy Football so far is a) sleep through/ forget about draft b) get tom Brady and Randy Moss C) ?? ?? ?? ?? d) Profit.

Oh yeah, and don't watch football unless it is college or on at the bar while your watching baseball even though you kind of like one team.

My secret to being mediocre at fantasy football is to a) also forget about the draft b) not get Tom Brady or Randy Moss c) play Halo 3 d) Not profit.

It also helps to not have a favorite team.

My secret to being bad at fantasy football is to a) only be at the computer for half your draft picks b) have your first four picks be hurt/busts c) make sure your opponent has a fantastic day whenever your players have decent ones.

It helps to not have time to watch football, too.

Through half time of game one I have 4 passing touchdowns and 2 receiving.  Oh, yeah, that is just one team.  God the Pats off week is going to kill me.  I just hope they go undefeated so they don't sit the cats once they have home field in week 12.

Edit:  Wait, no, that was right before half time.  5 passing touchdowns.

Things I've learned from pretend football:

If Brady throws the ball to a guy, get that guy.

Giving up on Eli Manning early? Duuuuuuumb.

Not giving up on Drew Brees early? Duuuuuuuuumber.

And having young explosive running backs? Gooooooood.

EDIT: Also?

If I could figure out a decent third WR option and my kickers and defenses could play consistently at their potential, I would actually have a half-way decent imaginary football team at this point. If not sticking with Brees for so long, out of not knowing what the hell I was doing, I'd probably be right in the middle of the pack.

Fuck the Red Sox.

Well, maybe not the Red Sox. The team is actually very well run. I have a huge amount of respect for Theo Epstein. It's the obnoxious fans I can't stand.

Fuck the Red Sox fans.

(Edit: If there's any good that can come of this win, it's this picture right here.)

fuck yeah, Red Sox in the world series.

(this has concluded the only post I will make about sports, ever. I love the Red Sox because half of my family are from Boston and still live in Boston, and if I told my dad I didn't love the Red Sox... well, I don't know what would happen.)

Stone Cold Jon Papelbon!

The braintrust behind the Red Sox are pretty much indestructably laudable, even if some of the fans are really strange and Curt Schilling's a loudmouth douchebag of the fifteenth power.

Jeers Curt Schilling.

Cheers for the Red Sox (mainly Pedroia and Manny).

It suddenly strikes me that, like, Rumjay might not be posting much right now because she's been doing awesome stuff related to the fact of her connections to the Red Sox.

I hope so. That would be kinda awesome.

I... I think I won a fantasy football game.  I keep looking at it to make sure my opponent doesn't have anyone going tonight, but I'm pretty sure that's it.
