Back In the Saddle Again?

After a pitiful showing in week one of the fantasy football season, The Clover Valley Stoners rebounded nicely scoring 107 points against Team Donkey Punch. Nice, but I am in a brutal division, one that seems to contain the leagues best player. He will now be 2-0, and unless I go on a major win streak and he drops a few, the best I am looking at would be the Wild Card spot in the playoffs. The season is young though...anything can happen.

College football heats up this week with Alabama having their first real contest of the season. Arkansas used to be a joke, but that is no more. Listening to sports radio on the way into work this morning one of the dj's predicted 'Bama would mop the floor with Arkansas. Not sure what he was smoking, but I certainly hope he is right.

Pick 'Em

It has arrived. Fantasy football draft day. Armed with research, the number one pick, and the shame from not making the playoffs last season, I am feeling confident. Of course there are always twists and turns, like the dreaded get your heart set on a certain player just to have him draft by the person just before you, but it's part of the game.

I'm trying to develop my beer strategy. It's fun to drink at the draft, but you have to keep your head clear so that you don't pick say, Priest Holmes, in the first round. I think I will ease in...sip until at least round twelve. After that it's ok to make crazy moves.

If you aren't aware, college football kicks off this coming Thursday. Friday is my last day of work before I enter a glorious nine day vacation. What a great week!
