So I'm in a fantasy football league with a bunch of my friends, and we did a live draft last night. My team is so nasty:
QB Manning, Peyton (QB-Ind)
QB Culpepper, Daunte (QB-Min)
WR Ward, Hines (WR-Pit)
WR Galloway, Joey (WR-Dal)
WR Chrebet, Wayne (WR-NYJ)
RB Henry, Travis (RB-Buf)
RB Dillon, Corey (RB-Cin)
TE Sharpe, Shannon (TE-Den)
WR/TE Coles, Laveranues (WR-Was)
WR/RB Shipp, Marcel (RB-Ari)
Bench Canidate, Trung (RB-Was)
Bench Carr, David (QB-Hou)
Bench Johnson, Kevin (WR-Cle)
Bench Stokes, J.J. (WR-Jac)
Kickers
K Gramatica, Martin (K-TB)
Bench Brien, Doug (K-NYJ)
Defense Team
DEF Miami (DEF-Mia)
DEF Chicago (DEF-Chi)
Bench Dallas (DEF-Dal)
They may as well just pay me right now. The 2nd overall pick in the draft was priest holmes - good decision friend, running backs always do well the year after they break their hip; Bo knows retirement. I had to take laverneus coles though, it was necessary. I love football season.
You are such a guy!
Posted by: Susie at August 13, 2003 11:06 AMWas it a real draft where two people can't have the same players? If so, how was Martin Automatica still available? That's gonna get you some points there, everyone knows TB will win 40% of thier games by field goals. Same with the Jets, good bench choice there.

Yeah. If you look at almost any team in the NFL, the kicker is among the leading scorers for the team. As a general rule, a team will make as many field goals as touchdowns and while the touchdowns are double the points, they are spread out among 6-8 different players. Not to mention that the kicker also adds one point for almost every touchdown.
Posted by: a different Bill at August 13, 2003 04:34 PMAre you sure you want to start Corey Dillon over Trung Canidate? And did you purposefully not pick any Giants?
Posted by: Alex at August 14, 2003 09:55 AMI would always start corey dillon over trung canidate. Corey Dillon is just nasty. Also, canidate is playing the jets week one and is going to get shut down by our sick rushing defense. And no, I didn't not pick Giants on purpose. Shockey went to the guy before me, I was gonna take him. I woulda taken armani toomer if i could've gotten him. I wanted the giants defense, but they were gone too. I have alot of giant fan friends.
Last season i had both Grammatica and Jeff Wilkins in my Yahoo! league. But the rest of my team sucked eggs.
