Hey ho
So we’re through with the first week of the year. Is FF all new again or is it like we never left?
I’m personally happy so far with this years draft and with this years first week and the waiver wire. Everyone had a solid draft this year which means that it’s not a matter of what place you were in or what kind of insider knowledge someone had but rather who performs, who gets injured and how the waiver is played. We’ve definitely have some improved parity which will hopefully make each week more exciting.
So I’m hoping to both make Sundays and the rest of the week not only more exciting but more social. I plan to post on the blog more and not only that but my plan is to open up the message board even more and give an award to the most social of socialites on the board. I will take all the best of the message board postings whether on the matchup smack boards, the main message board, and the comments on the blog and post them on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
(I just want to give everyone a side note related to this: I’ve learned from experience that if you are not a part of the league that you are talking/bragging/complaining about your stories about your Arian Foster problem or close you were to winning if Darren McFadden would have just had a few more carries get met with the same stare that Forrest Gump has when Bubba talks about shrimp ("Andre Johnson, Stevie Johnson,Chris Johnson, Calvin Johnson...) . Only Forrest has that stare all the time and I'm pretty sure he was always listening . So please share with us, we’ll understand)
Also, I’m going to do some live message boarding of a few games this year. I’m hoping people will want to participate live and contribute to the conversation. My live posting of games will involve game commentary and league commentary. I’m hoping that is fun.
Apparently there is an automatic award that is given every week now to the winner of the game with the closest score. This is sponsored by GMC. And by sponsored I mean GMC is giving money to ESPN to do this. Phone calls to ESPN to get my cut of the money have been left unreturned. Still good to see that you have a chance to earn a star each week. What’s in it for you if you have the most stars? Well right now nothing but over the years I’m sure there will be. You get 3 stars if you win it all and the other star awards vary based on the award.
I still want to evalute, speculate, postulate, formulate, discombobulate, integrate, salivate, serate, berate, Ben Tate, relate, magistrate, permeate and communicate our league preview each week. We’ll see how it goes.
Finally, I have some cool ideas for prizes this year. I’m trying to continue to up the ante, raise the stakes. Incentives help with league member investment however I think what makes everyone more invested is the fun of being able to compete with friends and family.
Anyway, I’m doin a Nu Thang :

Anyway, I’m doin a Nu Thang :
What I love is this kid’s upper torso length to leg length ratio is so out of proportion that I’m not sure how he is coordinated enough even if he’s mailing in his imitation Christian hip-hop moves. He reminds me of me in the video because at that age I was mostly legs and huge feet. I looked like a cartoon character.
Any stories from last Sunday or commentary on the coming week? Put it in the comments now!
