Quote of the Day

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."

Tom Brady signs extension!

GO PATRIOTS!

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)

(Sea - RB)
BN Mike Williams

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

BN Kenny Britt
(Ten - WR)

BN LenDale White

BN Matt Cassel
