Fantasy Football Update

I admit it - I love fantasy football.  I’m in three different leagues this year, with varied levels of success in each one.  But this weekend was a rough one, as I ran squarely into a Tony Romo/TO combination in one league and the top rated player in the other.  By the end of Indy-Chargers last night I was looking at an 0-2 weekend and a mediocre showing in my other (salary cap) league.

But then I got this email this morning from Robert Whitehill who’s in the league with all my old roommates from college:

“For anyone looking for something to keep them entertained with all of the lopsided match-ups this week, I have a remake of Major League 3: Back to the Minors taking place in the Shrimp Shack [name of Rob’s team] this week.   For those of you have not had the pleasure of seeing this masterpiece, the Twins are beaten by their AAA franchise.  I think it was up for an Oscar for Best Movie Ever but lost out to The Highlander.  Right now my bench is leading my starters 76.3 to 68.6…without a QB.  Seriously this will be the most intense MNF game of the season for me with Santana Moss still to play.  Will he get the points the starters need or will the bench hold on for the victory and cause me hand my computer over the the dogs for a chew toy and quit FF forever?  Either way, it should be interesting. “

So yeah, that’s why I play fantasy football - for emails like that.  I feel your pain, Rob - like you said, misery loves company.
