Vinnay (NO LINK. LINKS ARE FOR BLOGGERS.) doesn't think my wearing a Patriots jersey to the Jets/Bills game at the Ralph next week is such a good idea:
"Rich people in Buffalo go to Sabres games. Blue collar drunkards go to Bills games. Even if you got lucky and found a rich guy to beat you senseless, the cops would look the other way once they saw the Pats jersey."

Fantasy Football: Part Deux
Okay, draft in my primary fantasy league is finally over! Every year I doubt we'll make it, every year we get it in under the wire. Just.
I'm actually pretty proud of myself this year, usually I pick one or two and then make Alceste pick the rest, but I actually picked my whole squad this year. The only pick I'm not so jazzed about is Felix Jones, it was a rushed pick and I regretted it almost immediately, but whatever, here's my squad:
QB Drew Brees
(NO - QB)
WR Randy Moss
(NE - WR)
WR Greg Jennings
(GB - WR)
RB Matt Forte
(Chi - RB)
RB Jerome Harrison
(Cle - RB)
TE Jason Witten
(Dal - TE)
W/T Jabar Gaffney
(Den - WR)
BN Beanie Wells
(Ari - RB)
BN Hakeem Nicks
(NYG - WR)
BN Felix Jones
(Dal - RB)
(SF - QB)
BN Rob Gronkowski
(NE - TE) TEW/TBN Cin Sun
K Stephen Gostkowski
(NE - K) KBN Cin Sun
DEF San Diego
(SD - DEF) DEF
BN Minnesota
(Min - DEF)
My opponent in the first week is Vinnay and he has totally gotten in my head with his all Wide receivers, all day strategy. PLUS HE GOT TOM BRADY AS HIS QB IN THE FOURTH ROUND!!!! My league is effing nuts. (Oh, and yes, that means in BOTH my leagues I'll be facing squads led by Tom Brady! I guess I'm rooting for a 9 field goal game to beat the Bengals on Sunday! Oh...but one where Tom completes 60 yard bombs to Randy Moss...Oy.)
Oh, here's Vinnay's team:
QB Jay Cutler
(Chi - QB)
WR Andre Johnson
(Hou - WR)
WR Miles Austin
(Dal - WR)
RB C.J. Spiller
(Buf - RB)
RB Tim Hightower
(Ari - RB)
TE Brent Celek
(Phi - TE)
W/T DeSean Jackson
(Phi - WR)
BN Tom Brady
(NE - QB)
BN Jermichael Finley
(GB - TE)
BN Knowshon Moreno
(Den - RB)
BN Justin Forsett
(Sea - RB)
BN Mike Williams
(TB - WR)
BN Nate Burleson
(Det - WR)
K Nate Kaeding
(SD - K) @KC Mon
DEF Green Bay

Fantasy Football
I'm doing two leagues this year, the first is one with my Scrabble friends. The draft was automatic (I don't know if that's the official name for it, but essentially, I had no say in who got picked. The computer just picks them for you in accordance with the draft order.) Now, I'm not calling foul play or anything, but for the second year in a row i have ended up with Cassel as my quarterback. Here's the rest of my super squad:
Fan Pts
QB Matthew Stafford
(Det - QB)
WR Calvin Johnson
(Det - WR)
WR Steve Smith
(Car - WR)
RB Shonn Greene
(NYJ - RB)
RB Jonathan Stewart
(Car - RB)
TE Tony Gonzalez
(Atl - TE)
W/R Jerome Harrison
(Cle - RB)
BN Thomas Jones
(KC - RB)
BN Kenny Britt
(Ten - WR)
BN LenDale White
BN Matt Cassel
(KC - QB) QB
K Ryan Longwell
(Min - K) KBN @NO Thu
DEF Minnesota
(Min - DEF)
I KNOW, right?? WORST Here is my opponent in week 1:
QB Tom Brady
(NE - QB)
WR Larry Fitzgerald
(Ari - WR)
WR Robert Meachem
(NO - WR)
RB Adrian Peterson
(Min - RB)
RB Matt Forte
(Chi - RB)
TE Chris Cooley
(Was - TE)
W/R Justin Forsett
(Sea - RB)
BN Santana Moss
(Was - WR)
BN Matt Ryan
(Atl - QB)
BN Darren McFadden
(Oak - RB)
BN Bernard Berrian
(Min - WR) @NO Thu
K Robbie Gould
(Chi - K) Det Sun
DEF New England
(NE - DEF) Cin Sun
Now if that ain't some racism, I don't know what is.

Why is my fantasy football league so cut throat?

Victoria's Secret doesn't carry Saints gear
Personally, I think the company is doing these male fans a huge favor. Their woman shows up wearing another team's logo on her underwear, they are well within their rights to say "You take that off, RIGHT NOW!"
You're welcome Saints fans.

He leaves it up to Patriot nation to trash talk the Jets, while the Patriots win the games. One at a time.

Conversation of the Day
Me: I have a football blog during football season
Ugarles: You don't have a football blog. You have a Patriots blog. And you only have a Patriots blog when they're winning.

Quote of the Day
"Yeah, we talked to Dr.Phil. And then we made a collage in our dream journals. No! You know how it is up here, people don't talk! They just move to New Orleans and jump on that B.S. Saints bandwagon. Go Pats!" - Nancy on 30 Rock

And scene
I didn't think it was possible, but I feel way worse today than I did at the end of the Patriots season in February '08. As all good fans do, I completely blame myself. I let myself be goaded into prop betting on the Patriots again causing them to lose. Not just lose, straight collapse into a dungpile in the middle of the field.
"The sun was in his eyes"! Really? Seriously? It's a huge fucking weird ass shaped brown ball. That is clearly just bad jinxy juju.
Humiliating.
The Patriots, their fans and all their families should be too ashamed to show their faces in public. They should change their names and move to far away places.
If anyone needs me, I am now Juanita Espinosa from Des Moines. Wait, is that how you spell it? I'm new to Iowa and we don't have wireless. This is Iowa, right?

Get Well-ker Soon
I live in New York and I'm extremely lazy - especially when it's 19 degrees out on my days off. This means if I can't catch the Patriot game online somewhere, I'm usually out of luck on Sunday afternoons when they don't make the national TV airing schedule. Sunday was one of those days. It was made all the worse when I heard during the Dolphins game that my Wes Welker was hurt. Hurt badly and carried off the field. I didn't have any facts yet, but I swore if that Bernard Pollard was in any way involved, it would be vaffles for him!
VAFFLES!
But as I finally saw the footage, it looks like Welker's leg just took an awkward twist. Ugh. Just one of those things. I caught the end of the game. Tom Brady throwing interceptions, our defense being all non existent, another away loss. Sigh. The Patriots have just been all too human this year, miles away from perfection. The spirit and heart of champions still pulse through them, but they're tired, hurt, old. Really, the last vestige of my magical team was Wes Welker's quick feet, his ability to be every and anywhere. If Brady could get the pass in the air, Welker would find a way to bring it down and move the chains. "He's not human!" I would cry week after week watching him do what he does in winning efforts and losing ones. But, alas, he is human. And he's hurt.
And an entire region of Patriots fans are hurt with him.
