Behind the ROFFL’s top running back duo in LaDanian Tomlinson
and Willie Parker, the 2005 Toilet Bowl winner is primed for a huge
bounce back campaign.
Decent showing for the backup. Had 3 TDs for the first time in five
years. But that fumble at the goal line cost me the chance for 6
points with Fast Willie. He was drifting into “Stock Down”
territory…good thing his team won.
Once again, we embark upon the fantasy football season armed
with the most comprehensive draft book to date, a professional-
looking web presence, a very underrated blog, and 650 pictures.
Golf clap for the Commish.
Told me that my team was solid. Smart man.
Employee of High Mountain Sports in Deep Creek Lake, MD helped
me choose and buy a brand new set of 156cm skis. That’s right
boys…no more rentals.
The newly anointed starting WR for the Packers should be a nice
sleeper this season (for me). The Pack might surprise some
people, and I’m calling them my upset special in Week 1 over
Chicago.
I am dead serious…I am going this year. Who’s with me??
Those new “Football is Everything” commercials with Vick,
Tomlinson, Urlacher, and Polamalu playing on a high school
football team (and the accompanying magazine ads) are pretty
sweet.
This man puts together a more comprehensive analysis for our
fantasy draft than Mel Kiper does for the NFL draft. In fact, that’s
my new nickname for him: Kiper. This comes on the heels of me
anointing him the Fantasy Assassin (I do NOT want to hear lip – I
coined that nickname). Plus, he gave me a B+, which certainly
wouldn’t qualify me for “worst draft” status.
Strong matchups and old rivalries kick off the season as FSS vs.
Tools, LABOR POWER vs. Brock, and Worms vs. Tanks highlight
the field. It’s time to separate the men from the boys.
By far, my favorite message board postings. “Frockman” is
perhaps top 5 of all time. Favorite line: “Wait a sec with those
bricks and that mortar, Pink Floyd, because putting up a wall just
isn’t gonna solve anything this time.” First runner up: “I’m here.
But like a dentist neither of us is gonna get anywhere until you
open up.” Pure brilliance.
For managing to get this first article out in the time I promised.












Year after year, you step in at just the right time. Somehow, I don’t
see that happening this year. Not that I wish anything bad to
happen to Shaun Alexander, but it would be much better for
everyone if he was…eliminated.
Sadly, Parker’s bunch of retreads is my first victim this season.
Rest in peace, good buddy. As I said, you’re getting a ring when
we bring home the trophy.
Fuck you for saying that Tony Gonzalez should be avoided.
Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Jay Cutler, and Kellen Clemens won’t
sniff fantasy success this season. It’s too bad, too. Kerry Collins,
Kurt Warner, Jake Plummer, and Chad Pennington/Patrick Ramsey
are not the long term answers for their respective teams.
The latest sign that fantasy success has become more important
than real life team success: Marc begging a Pittsburgh defender
to “kill” Marty Booker after he earned a reception. Bear in mind
that Marc is a Miami fan, and his opponent in Week 1, Five Second
Stare, has Booker on their roster.
You should be so lucky.
Beyond the New York teams (bitch all you want, you know its true)
there really isn’t much depth here. Sure the Phillies have come on
lately behind Ryan “call me the clean Mark McGwire” Howard and
strong pitching, but they’re looking toward the wild card. The
Mets and Yankees are both going to have home field advantage
throughout the playoffs (the Yanks just caught the Tigers in the
loss column) and will meet in the World Series, with Big Unit and
Pedro pitching Game 1 at the Stadium (thank you Michael Young).
And mark it down: Yankees in 6.
Fuck you for scoring 2 TDs while riding Brian’s bench.
For demanding way more than market value in return for Deion
Branch. You don’t want to pay the guy what he’s worth, but you’re
willing to demand two first round picks in exchange for him?
Personally, I think he would be the second best #2 receiver in the
league (after Reggie Wayne), but he’s not worth top-of-the-depth-
chart cash.
For submitting a shitty Week 1 article, albeit on time.
