Fantasy

September 6, 2008

I’m playing Fantasy Football this year for the first time ever.  I enjoy watching the NFL, but I’ve never followed closely enough to play.  However, I figured that I would give it a shot this year, so that I would have something to do instead of watching the NBA (I’m taking at least a year off to protest David Stern’s continued presence in the league, but i’ll talk more about that later).

Anyway, here’s my team - let me know what you think.

Carson Palmer - QB

LaDainian Tomlinson - RB

Thomas Jones - RB

Roddy White - WR

Andre Johnson - WR

Marques Colston - WR

Tony Gonzalez - TE

Bears D/ST

Shayne Graham - K

Bench

Willie Parker

Jerricho Cotchery

Tony Scheffler

Matt Schaub

Cardinals D/ST

Patrick Crayton

LenDale White

Wings Win Stanley Cup!

Celtics Win Game One!

*** Dear Chris:  Please allow me my one day of happiness, as I think that the Celtics have no chance of beating the LA Kobe-kers in 7 games.


Happy Late Birthday, Chris

College Football

This is why i don’t follow it.   Sure, I would prefer it if Ohio State lost and Michigan won, but really . . . who can figure it out?  At least with professional sports, there’s a easy way to determine the winners.

. . . Dallas Mavericks. 

Silver lining: at least I don’t have to choose between the Mavs and the Suns this year.

41-14

January 9, 2007

(sigh)
As a good Michigan fan, it gives me great pleasure to see Ohio State get their booties handed to them.  However, for the BCS to be wrong in snubbing Michigan, several things had to happen.  First, Michigan had to beat USC. 

whoops. 

There are a lot of excuses that can be made for Michigan - the time off, food poisoning, Lloyd Carr’s atrocious Bowl record, but the moral of the story is that UM didn’t come to play.  Oh well, 1 out of 2 will still send a bit of a message to the idiots at the BCS. 

41 -  14.

No one really expected the final score to be that far apart, but hey - Florida was the definite underdog, and who can really be surprised if they lose by more than expected? 

Oh, wait.  OSU lost. 

Assholes.  Can’t they do anything right?

Eff The Stupid BCS

December 3, 2006

And the BCS penalized Michigan twice for being on the wrong end of the calendar: once when USC moved to No. 2 after beating Notre Dame (even though Michigan beat the Irish worse), and now, when Florida overtook the Wolverines (even though U of M’s season ended two weeks ago).
How can you call this a "system" when Florida belongs to a league that plays a conference championship, and Michigan doesn’t? How can you call it a quasi-playoff when Michigan drops twice in the standings without losing a game.

Interesting that there is a (very small) chance of a rematch.  I won’t hold my breath.
