Finally………..FOOOOOOOOTBALL!

18 min away from kickoff for the early games. I will be sitting in front of the tv for much of the next 12 hours. Not the healthiest thing, but you know what, Opening day is here! (yes I know the Giants played Thursday…hehe).

All my fantasy picks are in place and my lineups are set. It’s Gametime…..wooooooo!

Fantasy Football

So last night was the draft for the Nevertilt Football pool. We had most of the guys show up for the live draft, with some guys that left it to auto pick. I of course drew my nemesis, TNT teammate (and don’t tell anyone, but one of my best friends) Onemanblitz in the first week. His domain is fantasy football so I will take great pleasure into beating his ass soundly in this pool.

I am new to fantasy football, having only started playing last year, but let me tell you. Sooooooooooooo much fun. It adds so much to the season for a mere 20 bucks. I am getting the NFL package on tv, I got the yahoo stat tracker which is incredible to keep track of your stuff, so I am ready to go. Can’t wait.

As far as my team, meh, not sure. I got some potential but we’ll have to wait and see. I didn’t take my token San Fran player this year (but low and behold EVERYONE of em but Gore went undrafted, lol) and I am a little iffy about my first pick. I went with Barber who I really like, but I think I should have taken Addai in that spot, which was 5th overall, maybe even Randy Moss. Oh well, 6 days til kickoff, can’t wait!

Favre is a Jet

Haven’t posted here forever but Favre going to the Jets is enough to get me out of hibernation.

Never been a packers fan but how can you find yourself rooting against Favre. He just seems like a cool shit. A guy that would sit down with my crew, with a beer and fit right in. I hope he does well in NY, but I hope we don’t go thru this merry go round for another 2 or 3 years. I think the way that the Packers treated him thru all of this is horrible. I just think he was sore, tired, and dejected after not going as far as he wanted, and wasn’t positive he had the mindset to put himself thru another camp, and another season. Who really believed 6 months ago when he retired that was the last time you saw him try to throw a ball through his reciever? Not this guy.

Can’t wait for football.

Catching up

Well, a long time has past since I last wrote in my sports blog, save for a few youtube video’s etc. As always am busy, and my inclination to write comes and goes. So what has happenned of late in the sports world that has caught my attention?

Tiger won the buick going away

Clemens is making himself look more guilty in the court of public opinion the more he appears in public

They actually played a great game at the NHL Allstar game this past weekend

Sidney Crosby was hurt

Those fucking Patriots ran it to 18-0 with only a Manning standing in their way of the greatest season ever

Roy Jones beat Felix Trinidad handily

and The Yankees dodged a bullet by NOT getting Santana. I simply think Hughes Kennedy and Cabrera is too big a price to pay.

I’ll try and post more in the future.

Lost my matchup in football pool

Well I officially ended my initial foray into fantasy football on a down note yesterday losing to my buddy who I had beat twice previously this season. I didn’t just lose I got smoked with most of my players not stepping up to the plate. In my other pools I wasn’t a factor anymore so yesterday was my last shot at salvaging the fantasy football year. I still have a game next week for third place against one of my best friends and biggest rivals in everything, but still, I had hoped to be going to the finals.

Watched lots of football yesterday as always on Sundays. There was some pretty nasty weather at some of the games, and then in some of the later games on the West Coast some pretty nice weather. It was good to see Favre take down yet another record, and surprising to see the ‘Boys lose to PHIL. Something about that Mcnabb just bugs me but I can’t put my finger on it.

Not alot else in the sports world from my end. I missed the Arod interview on 60 min but I read up on it today. He sure put a bullseye on his back by signing on the dotted line to the two biggest contract in the sport. All in all I am glad he remained a Yankee, but I feel he has some work to do to fix his relationship if you will with the fans. Wonder if he cares?
