Ready to run through our league! We have 16 teams in our league, so many great players were swallowed up early. I took a slight gamble and picked Peyton earlier than most would (6th pick). Most others would have picked a running back for the first round or at least Brady over Manning. For many of my picks I chose players I had had in the past: Colston (gave me a huge boost in 2006 as I snagged him from the fa wire just before he exploded), Evans (was terrible last year, but can be explosive), Dallas Clark (I love having the Peyton-Clark one two-punch), Selvin Young, Leon Washington, etc.
Wish me luck. On even years, I do quite well (made playoffs in 2004, 2006) so I expect a good showing. Our league is a riot! It’s made up of very good childhood friends. We get rude, rambunctious, sulky, proud, angry, complimentry, disparaging, downtrodden, elated, etc. And as we wait for each new weekend, we fill the forum with speculation, smack talk, current news events, RPGs, haiku jams, anagrams, updates from life, more smack talk, relentless smack talk, you name it. Oh, and start of the football season corresponding to the beginning of autumn is sweeet!
Have a great day!
