Fantasy Sports.

This is the first year that I have ever participated in any type of fantasy sports game. It all started because courosity finally took over me. All my friends did it and they were talking all about it so I decided to look into it.

It started with the NFL a couple of months ago. I did the draft and selected my players. I really didn't know what was going on, I just selected players the computer told me to select, and some I just liked. I didn't know there is a science to it. If I did I would have selected different people all together, it would have made it easier for me. I didn't really think I drafted that bad of a team I mean I had Farve, Rothlesberger, McNabb as my QB's. Colston, Wayne, and Bolden as my WR. Daniels, and Winslow JR as TE. Moreno, Parker, McClain, and Forte as my RB's, which turned out to be trouble cause the first couple of weeks they couldn't score to save their lives. So I dumped Parker and McClain cause they had an average of 0 after three or four weeks. It was really interesting to watch my team go. There are not the best by any means but they are consistent. I just have to have the team that I am playing score under 80 and I would win.

I ended up using the waiver wire a little bit this year. I will say I had too much trust in some of my players though and I didn't dump them off until late but this is my first year and I thought I would be patient with it. My team isn't that bad right now at all I am first in the league at 9-2.

I used the information that I learned from football and put it into the NBA fantasy. I think I have an advantage in that one cause I know way more about basketball than I do about football. Watching it for so many years I kind of have an eye for who will be good and who wont. It is something I picked up when I played. I wish I attended the draft but it got pushed back so many times I didn't know when it was going to happen. But I have a good team, not a great one we are winning but I dont know for how long though.

I am addicted to these fantasy games. I need to go to therapy.

The dismantling of the Cowboys

The past two days have been big for the Cowboys, yesterday they finally released the cancer T.O. and today they have released their Safety Roy Williams.  I expect that they are going to release a few more people by the end of the week.  Jerry Jones has finally got the idea that it is a team game, no one player is more important then the other.  I think last summers signing of the Thug pacman finally showed him that.

I love this, I absolutely hate the Cowboys.  Watching them on Fox having Troy give his two cents have driven me nuts for the past couple of years.  They are always a favorite but they are never really that good.  Starting off strong doesn't mean that you will end strong.  September and October they maybe the team to beat but everyone beats them in November and December.

T.O. is the biggest ass right now in sports I think.  He goes to a team and destroys them right after.  I hope people that are in charge of signings find that out and dont sign him.  If you have a good thing going already you don't need T.O.  Don.t give that bastard the lime light that he wants.

Roy Williams on the other hand is a really good player and I have no idea why they let him go.  But I am thankful that they did.  I would like to see the Vikings go after him to anchor the D.
