Time to regroup

Wow. I was having a couple of good weeks in both fantasy football and in the newspaper football pick’em, but I’ve hit hard times during the stretch run.

After a week that saw losses in both my fantasy leagues and a drop in my standing in the pick’em league, I’ve got to regroup for the final weeks of the season. Fantasy playoffs start in two weeks!


Yeah, thanks to Joseph...

Yeah, thanks to Joseph Addai's worst day of the season, and Marques Colston reverting back to week 1-5 form I am out in my favorite league. I hate to say that. I always have such success in that league. It's 10 friends and we have all been together playing fantasy baseball and football for like 8 years now. It's a good time, and now that I am out of the playoffs, I am sure I will hear about it.

I do have another league in which I qualified for the playoffs, and that team is looking OK, but I don't think it is championship caliber. And, to be honest, I don't care as much about that league. Too bad, its been quite the off year for me in fantasy football. Too many strange things have happened. It almost (almost) makes fantasy football no fun when it is such a crap shoot.

Oh well, at least I get to watch the final four weeks of the season unbiased and I dont have to worry about Addai getting 15 or 20 carries, or whether AD shares the ball with Chester Taylor, or whether the Panthers can actually find someone to throw the ball to Steve Smith.

It's been fun, now I will jsut sit back and watch the best part of the NFL season unfold without any extra agenda.

I’m guaranteed playoff spots in both my leagues, and I’m pretty well locked into the seeding that I’ll get. So all I have to do now is ride it out and hope that my quarterbacks (Romo and Brady) and running backs (Willie Parker and AD Peterson) can rack up the points in the coming weeks.

It feels weird to be cheering for a Viking, though, especially when they actually have a shot at the playoffs this year.

And it's never relaxing to sit back and watch the Packers. As a true fan, I worry about the Pack enough that I lose sleep some nights.

Now that I am out of the fantasy league for this season, I hope they take it easy on Peterson.

I really could have used the points on Sunday, (I only missed out on the playoffs by about 10 points), but as a Vikings fan, once they got up so big, I was glad they took AD out of that game.

Well, like I said, now I am watching the rest of the games unbiased. Out to make it fun.
