I hate asterisks in my fantasy line-up. What I'm hating even more this week is that one happens to be placed directly beside Ronnie Brown, my bright hope, my shining star, whose leg has apparently been through a meat grinder or something, because now it's not just his ankle. It's also his foot. Football players sort of need to have a functioning foot. It's kind of the root word of the whole game. Foot-Ball.
Sigh.
I have sunk into last place in my league yet again. After scraping and clawing my way back up to 6th place, I am now at rock bottom. What's worse is that there are five teams currently tied for 1st place. FIVE! I mean, if ever there was a year to NOT be in last place, it would be this year.
Sigh.
Let's talk about my other league before I start looking for a bridge or something.
In my other league, I'm currently in 3rd place. I slipped out of 2nd with a brutal loss two weeks ago. I didn't write about it because the depression was too crushing. And take a wild guess which RB I also have in this league. That's right, Ronnie Brown.
This week, if ESPN projections are right (ha, ha, hold on a second while I laugh that out of my system), I should win. However, I'm not really confident when it's saying that Ocho-stinko is going to get 22 points when he only had 2 last week. I mean, let's be realistic.
Speaking of realistic, how can it be possible that Colston ended up with -1 last week. Seriously? Negative ONE? Currently he's warming my bench. Will he snap out of it and get me some points? (If he's on my bench-definitely). Will he disappoint yet again? (Only if I play him).
You might want to check back regarding my line-ups this week. If I play him, sit him. If I don't, start him. That could be a winning strategy for you. Clearly, there is no hope for me.
I'm going to go burn a candle for my dear Ronnie and send healing thoughts. Won't you join me?
You have a great blog here. I have two sports blogs myself. We need to stick together. I was wondering if we could do a link exchange so we can help spread some traffic around to each other.
Let me know if this is possible.
