Can we talk Fantasy Football, just for a moment? This year, I'm playing again with Flippy and Leigh-Ann, along with some of their other friends. I enjoy fantasy sports, even though most of the time I feel utterly clueless; for example, when I'm making a roster change I usually have no inkling as to whether it's a very good move or a very bad move - could go either way. Mostly I just hang on and hope that I do well enough not to be a complete laughingstock.

With the live draft in football, I'm usually even more lost. I pay attention and watch everyone's picks, yet when I go to select one of the guys I wanted, he's already taken. Or I'm picking fourth, but the top 5 quarterbacks and the top 4 running backs are already gone - which I realize is mathematically impossible, that's just the general disconcerted feeling I have during the draft. Both last year and this year, I made notes about whom to draft but this year, I think I was more successful in getting guys I wanted. I was pretty happy with my team going into Week One.

I not only won my first game, right now I'm leading the league! I scored more points than anyone! I'm not bragging so much as astounded - but pleased and excited, too. I don't expect my reign to last, but for now I'm #1, it's making me happy and I'm posting about it. By the way, this year my team is called the Amazing Spiderpigs, a Homer Simpson reference.
