Welcome to my blog! I've never done this before, and my opening "Welcome to my blog!" line hopefully isn't the precursor for lame blogs to come. But looking at it now, I can't believe that was the first sentence I wrote in my first ever blog post. I mean honestly, who all is going to read this anyways? Who am I welcoming to my blog? Mom? Meg? That's two. Oh well.
Weekly fantasy football update: I may or may not be in three fantasy football leagues. Ridiculous? Probably, but that debate is for another day. But today is a day worthy of jubilant celebration. Not only did I get to spend the entire day with my beautiful girlfriend, but I also got to watch all three of my fantasy teams lock up three huge wins. Yep! Read 'em in weak! 3-0 this week. Not really any huge games from anyone, but I had just enough solid 12-15 point performances to get by with victories. With my three wins this week, my records jump to 6-0, 5-1, and 3-3. And look at me right now. I am sitting here bragging about how I (emphasis on the "I") won three football games this week! I didn't do anything other than draft the players on my rosters to earn those victories. Isn't it crazy how we as fantasy football owners take ownership of the players on our team - or in my case, teams? The fact that we get visibly frustrated with players for not performing like we think they should on Sundays or Mondays is head scratching. I mean look at DeSean Jackson today. The poor guy was on his way to probably a 30 point outburst before getting knocked back into the 1980s where Terrell Pryor's half fade haircut would still be in style. It's guys like Jackson that lay it all out on the field week in and week out. They are the true athletes who deserve to do the bragging. But hey, fantasy football is what it is, and I love it. I'm a tall, lanky white kid. If Peyton Manning were to hit me on a crossing pattern over the middle, any 4th string, practice squad linebacker could put me in a hospital. Good for them. I think I'll pass. And believe me, my 4.9 forty time would be outclocked by most punters and kickers in the League anyways. Although, I did have a dream one time where I was in a footrace with Ochocinco... and a horse. I dusted them. It was a memorable one - obviously.
But anyways, I've rambled enough. Until next time, Go Vols, Go Tigers (Clemson), Go Wahoos, and Go Steelers! And yes, believe it or not, I have ties to all of those schools/teams.
Five Forks on my mind.
