Every year for the past 4 years, I have created a stellar fantasy football team (in my opinion) and competed against strangers, and TK. Shockingly enough, I have made it into the playoffs every year and have beaten TK more times than not.I think I know enough about football and the NFL to pick a team that can rival any other team on ESPN...well except for this time. This year, TK kindly invited our family to join ESPN and draft teams so we could beat each other up in the fantasy sports world. It has been fun so far, but I am not quite getting the result I thought I would. Unfortunately, I chose a team that sounds great, but the players can't all perform at the same time so my team score is suffering.
I am currently, 2 and 3 and, honestly, this is a swift kick to my ego. I can't even talk trash to anyone because Peyton Manning got me 7 points this week, when he usually gets me more than 20, and I barely squeaked by my brother-in-law's team, which only had 7 players because he left one guy that was hurt and one guy that was on a bye on his active roster.
If only I could huddle up my group and give them a pep talk. But, they don't know me or my silly little team, especially since I named it, "Under Worked, Over Paid." If they knew me, they would probably be a little peeved with me, so in an effort to improve my luck, I have modified the name. Following recent sports news, my new team name is "Testy Texters" and I kind of like it because it pokes fun at the old creepo, Brett Favre, who I can't stand.
OK, wish me and the Testy Texters luck!
