I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Wednesday, September 6, 2006 at 5:46PM The title of Yo La Tengo's new album gets me in the mood for fantasy football. Yep, I am a pathetic geek who plays fantasy football. It's 15 minutes once a week, and it's only for bragging rights. And I refuse to actually pay attention to or care about any player on a team that's not the Carolina Panthers.
Still, it's a great excuse to talk smack. Here's my starting lineup for Sunday's season opener:
- QB - M. Hasselbeck
- WR - S. Smith
- WR - R. Wayne
- WR - Ro. Williams
- RB - L. Johnson
- RB - B. Westbrook
- TE - A. Crumpler
- K - M. Vanderjagt
- DEF - New York
Sadly, I'm not very familiar with these players - especially the wide receivers - except for Steve Smith, who may not play because he has a hangnail. Larry Johnson? Isn't that Grandmama? Apparently not. And it pains me to have an Atlanta Falcon on my team.
That won't stop me from bringing a full-on beatdown to the rest of those feeble, miserable, puny, worthless has-beens in my league. Unless I get whipped by one of them.
