fantasy football championship

I'm driving myself crazy. I'm in the fantasy football championship this weekend, and I'm obsessing over it this morning.

There are some stakes here... loser gets $100, while winner gets $400. So yeah, I'd like the $400. But Jeff (Heiman) has already played Peyton Manning against me, who went for 30 points on Thursday. Meanwhile, my QB all season, Kurt Warner, finds himself in a no-stakes game in Boston where it's just dumping snow. My other choice? Thigpen in KC. Normally I'd play him, but... I've got bad feelings about that game.

I picked up Jeff Garcia off the waiver wire. Right now, I'm starting him. He's playing at home (in Tampa Bay) against San Diego, who has a horrible pass D.

But, like I really have any control over this crap anyway.

That's why I'm blogging right now. I've decided to share some of my psychosis. As Evey will allow, I'm going to "live-blog" the matchup between the LeCompton Hoodrats (Jeff's team) against Mario Chalmers (my team). As of this writing at 10 a.m., I'm trailing 38-13. Jeff had Manning play on Thursday and Bradie James last night. I had Maurice Jones-Drew play on Thursday.

Mere moments ago, I was feeling defeated, like I had no chance. But on 96.5 FM's "Resurrection Sunday" program, they just played R.E.M.'s "Superman." And now I feel like I can do this... like that was a sign, my team will overcome adversity!



Let's go Mario C!
