It Started with a Journal

I'm still awake for work reasons, and I've been trying to keep myself alert by... joining a bunch of fantasy football leagues. lolol I have sooooo many now. There are a couple that didn't go well, so I'll most likely just not even play those. Oh who am I kidding, I probably won't even be able to play MOST of them.

I have now drafted with ESPN, NFL, and Yahoo, and I have to give the best experience to Yahoo. Really well done. Good system, easy to understand, clean, attractive. ESPN's is the worst. At least it's not like they're dedicated to sports or anyth-- OH WAIT.

I'll only share the two teams I actually care about at this point, but I will list all of my team names. You'll notice that there's a common theme in how I chose them. :)) I think potentially only slitherhither could decipher them all.

( My teams! )

...and I named it "Dogs that bake," because, like this dog, I have no idea what I'm doing.

I missed the first four rounds, but luckily I had done a short priority list earlier in the day, so it auto-drafted some of my selections for me before I was able to get on. Looks to me like most people drafted running backs first, which is a surprise because I thought you were supposed to draft QBs first. >< In fact, that's what a guy at work who is totally into fantasy football had told me was the priority, with running backs second. Possibly once the first guy drafted a RB, everyone else went into panic mode about RBs?

Anyway. Because I did not get back until the fourth round, and because I had no idea what I was doing, I think I got some pretty average RB talent, and I missed out on getting Russell Wilson. >< I'm more bummed about that than I thought I would be, so for the next draft of the next team I'm on, I'll have to put him higher. I also missed out on the Seahawks' defense, but that's no surprise since I was late. :/

Here's the team I ended up with... ( Clicky. )
