Fantasy Football Teams Thus Far

I've had three drafts, one live, two online, and so far- I think the results have been pretty good.  Of course, one never knows until the season starts, but here are my teams:

Red Viper's Revenge:

RB Arian Foster
QB Matt Stafford
RB Ahmad Bradshaw
WR Marques Colston
WR Demayrius Thomas
TE Jermaine Gresham
WR/RB/TE Michael Turner
K Stephen Gotskowski
DEF Chicago
Bench: DeSean Jackson, Stevan Ridley, Jay Cutler, Kellen Winslow, Randy Moss, Tim Hightower, David Wilson
(Won best draft based on Yahoo! projections)

PURPLE:
QB Tom Brady
TE Gronk
RB Fred Jackson
WR Andre Johnson
RB Ahmad Bradshaw
WR Miles DAVIS Austin
W/R Eric Decker
K Robbie Gould
DEF Eagles
Bench: Jonathan Stewart, Donald Brown, Jay Cutler, CJ Spiller, Ronnie Hillman, Mike Williams (TB), Coby Fleener, Earl Bennet

Peppermill High Roller (2 time defending champ!)
QB Matt Ryan
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Darren McFadden
WR Roddy White
WR Brandon Marshall
TE Jermichael Finley
FLEX Darren Sproles
K Alex Henery
DEF Chicago
Bench: Doug Martin, Jay Cutler, Brandon Pettigrew, Nate Washington, Kendall Hunter, Mike Tolbert, Mike Williams (TB), Lions D, Randall Cobb

So there you go.  Let me know how I did.  The teams drafted 1st, 8th, and 4th respectively in 10 team snake drafts.  Last team left is my MSFL auction league draft on Tuesday.  It should be a BLOOD BATH.

Prime99 Update

For anyone who is curious- here is the update on how things are going.  First, my goal is to obtain one of these:

























Anyone who can help- let me know. 

My classes are going great.  I'm done with 3 of 9 and I've gotten A's in all of the classes thus far.  I am damn proud of myself, but my work isn't even close to complete.  Unfortunately, I can't bring back the blog on a regular basis. 

The Cubs reminded me what being a Cub fan is all about.  Ah, the wonder of getting nut punched Johnny Cage style.  Baseball is back, for better or worse.

I haven't seen "The Hunger Games."  I just assumed it was about Ethiopians playing Scrabble. 

"Game Of Thrones" and "Walking Dead" have been keeping me busy TV-wise.  I'm pretty sure Carl is the anti-christ.  He's immortal and bad things happen to the people around him.  It makes too much sense.  Change his name to Damien.  I won't talk about "Game Of Thrones" because I'm reading the books and I know too much.  My fantasy baseball team is called "Winter Is Coming..." though.

I still love 90's rock.

Nike got the NFL apparel contract and nothing changed... well, besides Gregg Williams' pre-game pep talks.  His mention of butt-raping Vernon Davis was a little over the top, no?

I really miss blogging.  It is unfortunate that this fine art of prose had its throat slit by the sands in the hourglass of my time, but what can I do?  I am making great progress toward a better career and it sucks that this fine, inactive site is the victim.  I'll try to post again some time soon, but until then... don't drop ecstasy and listen to electronic music.  I'm serious- those people are the worst!
