Sucked in again

Every year I tell myself I'm not going to play fantasy football because it makes me more concerned with individual players than the overall team effort and I want to be all about the team. But darn it, fantasy football is fun. I've been sucked in again.

I think watching ESPN and NFL Network incessantly gets me so excited for the season I just want to absorb as much as possible, and playing fantasy football is the best way to become actively involved and feel like I'm part of the whole thing. My main league is called Lady Lumps as a tribute to Fergie and her humps, and it will probably end up being all girls. It's not full yet, so if you want to join let me know. Guys or gals.

Nfl.com lets you have three different teams so I'll have one in the private Lady Lumps league and two in other mostly-guy leagues. I love playing against guys cuz it's always a huge surprise when you kick their butts. :) But I'm promising myself that this will all be for fun and that I won't become overly competitive. Deep breath. It's all for fun and I can't control whether or not David Akers misses a last second field goal and I end up losing by two points that week. Lunch will still taste good everyday. And the laundry will still smell great when there is Downy in it. Much to be happy about.

I'm mentoring Thomas later today. He didn't show up for our first meeting last week, but he did drop off a cassette with a sample of his delivery. We'll go over that today...if he shows up. If he brings his girlfriend we'll all just sit around and chit chat about what type of heads we might have if all heads were fruits or something. I'm looking at Michael Blake here in the Kiss studio as I'm typing this...I think his head might be a pineapple.
