What am I doing?: Year 6 of Fantasy Football
This is where I talk myself off the ledge. My mantras for the week, "This is for the book, this is for the book."
Closely followed by. "This is all fake, it doesn't matter, this is all fake, it doesn't matter."
You think after six seasons of this I would get my act together. I would be cool, I would be Fonzie. Instead I am I. I was suppose to stop playing. Period. Exclamation point. I had the number one draft pick and I was busy boiling eggs for my deviled eggs dish to notice that I was drafting first at 9 AM on a Saturday. I only found out during round seven and had to text someone inquiring who my auto-pick drafted. Antonio Brown, WR. My beloved Patriots aren't on my team. Computer do you not know me? And somehow the computer decided to draft Teddy Bridgewater as my backup which I dropped today and picked up AJ McCarron. Because I remember and I believe. Which should not discredit Dalton, he was not a Free Agent (like Heath Slater). Who Dey!
God is pretty funny. I'm making deviled eggs unbeknownst I was blessed with the number one draft pick. I suppose I would have gone with Brown, was he ranked the number one draft pick? Okay, yes. He was. I would have picked a Patriot as my second pick.
The draft algorithm gave me a B grade in the draft (thanks computer), predicts I'll go 10 - 4 and tie for second place. I'll probably go 4 and 10. I don't like that I'm older than my quarterback, by two days. This is what happens when you had Tom Brady and Russel Wilson on your team last year. God bless you, Palmer and McCarron. I'll probably pick another quarterback next week. I learned something on sports talk radio this week. Week three, the underdog wins.
Blah, blah, blah. I tweeted John Lester about Hurricane Lester. I'll guess I'll put that in the book. I'm blessed that I had power and a roof over my head this past Saturday into Sunday. Also, the deviled eggs turned out awesome. If, you want to call them angel eggs by all means go on. Maybe I'll call them hurricane eggs?
