Fantasy Football

Man, I was really hoping that I'd get back into the whole bloggin' business because at the end of August, there's always something nice called "Fantasy Football." You might have read up on it a little bit last year.

There's always something to gripe about, but at least there's something. Last year in our league back when I was in South Dakota, I made the playoffs (out of 12 teams) but finished up short, finishing 4th (I think).

But now, lo and behold, not only I'm back in the South Dakota league again, but I've joined up with some old Minnesota pals to be involved in for my second league of the season.

The Minnesota draft will be a Sean's place this Saturday, then the South Dakota league will be on Sunday. It's going to be a little stressful, probably lots of trash-talking going on over players being picked, but it's all good.

I've been doing my research, reading fantasy football magazines and checking out ESPN.com and all that stuff, so hopefully I'll be on top of my game come this weekend.

But don't let those "expert" magazines fool you! It's all about your gut when you're drafting your players. Last year, I ended up picking up throw-outs like TE Jermaine Wiggins and WR David Givens, who actually mopped up the league in terms of points. This year, you just do not know who's going to have that unremarkable breakthru season.

I'll post my draft selections on here as soon as I get 'em ... plus some other thoughts and analysis throughout the season.
