Woodie, Woodster, Woodrow

So there's this guy I know. We'll call him Wood. He's a good 'ole southerner with a penchant for mayo and bacon sandwiches, typically grilled to perfection on a George Foreman. He's in my fantasy football league, and due to some luck, some injuries, and the inability of the NFL to recognize that the 17th week of the season gets fantasy teams into the playoffs (thanks Tony Dungy for playing Jim Sorgi for 3 entire quarters), he was able to squeak out a league championship a couple years ago.
Now most of the guys in our league are not what you call "humble," but that said, most of them joke and can be joked with. Wood, on the other hand, can dish it out with the best of them (he's right up there with D. Trump talking about Rosie's fat ass), but when his character is defamed (is that a word?), he gets righteous. Pure and simple. The kid is wacky. Has been since I've know him. Fun to be around, impossible to argue with. You will never win. He will stoop to any level, particularly levels that involve mothers, sisters, weight (he has recently abandoned his mayo/bacon diet and slimmed down), music, athleticism (funny, considering his severe lack of athletic ability due to "ACL surgery" and evident from one view of his awful golf swing) and just about anything else.
Anyway, not trying to slam the kid, just had to write something to get the comments rolling in. Meanwhile, check out the picture (he's the doof in the blue shirt).

Fantasy Football update

I'm keeping Peyton Manning, Marshawn Lynch (pictured, but which one is he?) and Larry Fitzgerald. To the other potential keepers on my team (Lendale White, Edgerrin James, Vincent Jackson and Matt Hasselbeck), may you have long and illustrious careers. You hurt me more than you helped me you losers.

One guy in our league is keeping Tony Romo, Adrian Peterson and Terrell Owens. I'm thinking he's the man to beat at this point.

So the deadline for deciding on keepers for the Yahoo! fantasy football league I run is coming up. If you're in the league, you're in the right spot. I'll expectorate some wisdom here for you guys as it hits me.

Biggest decision for me right now is whether or not to keep Lendale White, RB for the Titans. I picked him up in a late round last year, so he won't hurt my supplemental draft opportunities, and I think he's a decent source of 8-9 trash TDs and 800 or so yds on the ground. But, if you read the pundits' pure trash, the whole Titans team is garbage, except for Rob Bironas, the kicker. Seriously? The kicker is the best player on the team - fantastically speaking.

I'm definitely keeping Peyton Manning and Larry Fitzgerald, and with those two kept, I won't be picking out of the free agent draft until the third round. So I have to hope a decent RB is available at that point. I had Edge last year, and he was so inconsistent that I benched him in favor of White several times last year. Or, I can keep Marshawn Lynch as my top RB, but that would mean I wouldn't have a pick in the free agent draft until round 4. And that's just too long to hope I can pick up another WR worth anything. And I'm not dealing with Reggie Williams again this year.

More fantastic football posts to come...stay tuned.
