I’ve been getting a little bored with my FF team lately. Early in the season I was on top and it was great. Every week was exciting and fun. As long as I was on top, I was having a great time and paying attention to my guys’ every score. But as the season went on, I stopped putting as much energy into it and I ended up on the bottom. Don’t get me wrong–being at the bottom is better than no fantasy at all. But it’s not as fun as when you are on top.
So this week I gave my guys a little more attention again. I spent a lot of time looking at each one of them very closely before Sunday, moving them up and down and all around until I got them just where I wanted them. Hopefully I will start my move back to the top effective today and I’ll start enjoying it again.

Oh Larry, are you ever going to learn your lesson?
Kansas City running back Larry Johnson, already facing possible suspension by the NFL, was charged Monday with simple assault for spitting his drink in a woman’s face.
The charge is the second such count the former Pro Bowler is facing.
This is the fourth time in five years he’s been accused of assaulting a woman and the Chiefs acknowledged last week the NFL was looking into the latest incident.

Stud Utley’s two-run homer in the first inning got Philadelphia started in its first appearance in the World Series since 1993, and Cole Hamels pitched the Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 last night.
“I try to treat every day the same, whether it’s the first day of spring training or today,” Utley said.
Yummy Yummy Ladies…
Last week was a dud for my fantasy football team. I was traveling and accidentally forgot to pull an injured player. Woops! So I am hoping to make a comeback this week. All week long I have been checking in on my players and daydreaming about a win. Will this be the week that Big Ben lives up to his name and hype? A girl can dream. Will my Panthers running back duo find a way to drive through the Saints’ defense? I can hope!
What’s most exciting this week is the anticipation. Every week is a new week. It doesn’t matter what happened last week. This week is a clean slate. The anticipation grows as Sunday afternoon gets closer. As I take a shower and put on my gameday gear, I feel a little tingle of excitement about what the day might bring. Will this week bring an explosion of points from my wide receivers? We’ll know in just a few short hours.
Is a Good Man That Hard To Find?
All I need is one good man. One man that will see me through weekend after weekend. One man who will fulfill my deepest fantasy needs. One man who won’t disappoint me and all of a sudden not show up on Sunday. All I need is….. a quarterback.
Apparently, I’m just not meant to find that one good man this week. With Big Ben both injured and on a bye, I had to look to my backup. Am I to risk it all on a “questionable” Brian Griese? Even when he doesn’t have an elbow bruise and right shoulder sprain, he isn’t Mr. Dependable.
So like a horny teenager on a Saturday night, I just start looking around. If I can’t find “Mr. Right,” maybe I can find “Mr.. Right Now.” Normally, I wouldn’t stoop to Marc Bulger. But desperate times call for desperate measures. It’s like a fantasy football booty call of sorts, and Bulger is going to have to satisfy my needs.
