We had our draft last night for our Fantasy Football League. The NFL starts today with Washington vs. New York Giants so it was perfect timing. We start two QBs in our league and they are pretty highly valued. Here’s my team:
QB – Drew Brees
QB – Derek Anderson
RB – Brian Westbrook
RB – Willis McGahee
WR – Chris Chambers
WR – Santonio Holmes
WR – Hines Ward
TE – Alge Crumpler
K – Jason Elam
Def – San Diego
Bench – Jonathon Stewart RB
Bench – Rashard Mendenhall RB
Bench – Tarvaris Jackson QB
Bench – Muhsin Muhammad WR
Bench – Devin Hester WR
Bench – Darrell Jackson WR
Bench – Marcedes Lewis TE
I play Matt Doan in Week 1. I’m looking forward to it because it’s always helpful to start the season with an easy win to get things going strong. By the way, in our league with 2 QBs starting he only has JP Losman and Jim Sorgi. Neither is a starting QB in the NFL. Hilarious. I look forward to the win.
What do you think of my team? Do you care? Do you play fantasy sports?

I like that you picked the Charger’s D and Drew Brees at QB. Doan’s a funny guy.
In general, I think fantasy sports are one step removed from fantasy role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. It’s like the socially acceptable thing for guys to participate in and satisfy their inner geek.

These comments are classic. Trevor – you are right. It is a bit like D&D although I never did that because only evil satan worshipers would have played that game.
Arms – how many teams in your league? We have 12.
