Fantasy Football

Last night commenced the fifth season of Phi Alpha Gamma Fantasy Football. We have expanded to ten teams this year, up from a paltry eight last season. We also upgraded this year to Stat Tracker and a trophy to the winner. The Blue Team is officially the unofficial home for all league commentary and analysis as of this point forward. League members, feel free to use the comments function on my blog to post your thoughts.

Our championship history is as follows:

2002 champ: Kev
2003 champ: Mean Steve
2004 champ: I was the blind squirrel who found the nut. Thanks Corey Dillon.
2005 champ: Mean Steve, now a two-time champion. I was the blind squirrel still searching for any kind of nut. Thanks Corey Dillon (he's starting this week...oh wait, just kidding), Fat Jamal Lewis, TO, Baltimore's D, Todd Heap of crap, and my number 2 & 3 WRs (I had none).

With that, Phi Alpha will have a four team playoff for the title this year in weeks 15 & 16. The early line is on Grandpa winning due to his aged wisdom. Over/under on number of times a reference to male sexuality is made on our league message board: 3,457,929. I'll take the over, thanks.

Now, since it is my blog, others can look at my team on here. I think it could be fun for casual readers to make fun of my team and its losing this year, so have at it.

Today is the morning after the draft. I feel like someone who went out last night, had a great time, got "totally wasted dude," and is now looking at the pictures from the previous evenings adventure. I have one of those, "man, why did I do that?" faces on right now. Last night's draft seemed ok about 10:30pm. Now, twelve hours later, it looks like I was drunk while drafting. Please people, don't drink and draft.

Without further adieu, the 2006 Hokie Thugs:

QBs: Culpepper, Plummer
RBs: LT, Reuben Droughns, Jamal Lewis
WRs: TO, Marvin Harrison, Javon Walker, David Givens, Eric Moulds
TE: Shockey
K: Shayne Graham
Def: Baltimore, Denver

Yikes. Draft notes:
  • Larry Johnson went first overall to Bloman
  • Reggie Bush went in the second round to Andizzle
  • Mean Steve & Bloman already made 3,000 homo references or so. And we're off...
  • Neil Rackers went in round 5 to NY Matt. Bloman almost jumped off a bridge.
  • Carly Patterson re-entered our lives on Fox's new show "Celebrity Duets." Somehow, she advanced, even though she sings like a dying ostrich. Chris Jericho of wrestling and Fozzy fame was eliminated. What's that abooot? But Carly was looking strong as usual.
  • Easy E's team is named "Reginald Vel Johnson." This is great because it simultaneously keeps alive Carl Winslow and Vel in our hearts. "Hey boooo"
  • Both Zach Hilton (UNC alum) and Karl Hankton (Panthers' special teams ace) were drafted.

There you have it. I'll try and post league updates sporadically to keep everyone in the loop who is not in this league. As I stated, please feel free to post comments on the blog.

Nickelback's thought of the day: "I like your pants around your feet..."

I love the idea Kyle. I think you write best when it's our stoopid crap like that, but maybe that's b/c it's the only stuff that isn't over my head. Anyways don't worry, I have five RBs and they all stink so like the last several years I'll be residing in the league basement. And yes ... I took Zach Hilton!
