She's waited on me before !!

My First Fantasy Draft

I drafted my first fantasy team last Thursday night. It's a 10 player league, QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, W/T, W/R, TE , K, D. It was a random draft and I had second pick.  This year I didn't feel too warm and fuzzy about a second round pick because the stud RBs ( LT & AP ) this year - well, I have concerns about both. I don't see the separation I've seen in recent years. But with a serpentine draft...what else can you do but grab a stud. It's a long freakin time until you draft again.  So this is how I faired:

QB - Ben Roethlisberger
RB - Adrian Peterson
RB - Fred Taylor ( this isn't a homer thing although I do love Freddie T)
WR -  Andre Johnson
WR - Steve Smith ( asshole got suspended for the first two games)
WR - Hines Ward
TE - Dallas Clark
W/T - Anthony Gonzalez
W/R - Julius Jones
K - Neil Rackers
D - Green Bay

Bench
David Gerrard
Matt Forte
Warrick Dunn
Algae Crumpler
Devin Hester
Arnez Battle
Dennis Northcut
Arizona

All in all, I"m pretty happy with this team. Only 3 people showed for this draft so with all the autopicks it went fast and predictable. But I think I can work with this.

A Power Ranking

I think this is an amusing blog and has some interesting ideas. Today they've posted their 1-15 Power Ranking. I agree with the majority of it but the Titans @ #5. WTF? Did they see Vince Young play last year? ( maybe I'm still pissed off that her got rookie of the year over Maurice Jones-Drew ). But Vince aside, their defense took a hit in the offseason. Number 5? No Way.

Killer Smile

My daughter got her braces off Weds. Every time I cry about how broke I am, I'm going to look at that 6K smile and realize it was worth every coupon I'm clipping !!

It's Time !!!!!!

Yes, it's THAT time again. My 5 month depression is over and FOOTBALL is back, baby!!!! I've been out to my first training camp practice and here are some photos and a vid. If I can ever figure out how to add a slide show from my Flickr account - look for it in the sidebar.

I'm all hyped about the Jags this year. Yes, we've already had setbacks with Jerry Porter, Reggie Williams and Brad Meester ( C) all headed to Bama' for surgery but we're deep and I have beginning of the season optimism going on so I"m not down about it yet.

I'm also a Fantasy Football fanatic. I had my first draft last night and as soon as I can review my picks...I'll be posting them here.

Go Jags!
