The transfer portal is an increasingly crazy place. It is a real mess in terms of sorting out who is going to land where and how. My own son is in the portal and hopes to be headed up to the FBS level. It isn’t about the bigger crowd or paycheck for this one. He wants to play against tougher talent so that he can see if he really is made of NFL stuff. I think he is. He thinks he is. We’ll find out over the next few years. He’s an 18 year old true sophomore with two seasons and 19 games under his belt. He’s been solid so far.
He’s also in the fantasy playoffs.
Not against me, mind you. He and I both easily won our first round matches in the family league to slide into round two against the top two squads. As the #3 seed I play the #2 seed. It is a rematch of a battle a few weeks back, but this time it appears that my TE, Atlanta’s Kyle Pitts, is doing his thing. Let’s hope that continues this week and through the next few. I don’t expect 45 points each week, but I’ll take 20+. The league leader in the one seed is a problem. A juggernaut, actually. The only chance he loses is if he plays the wrong guys. Even his bench is loaded, so little chance that happens. I’m looking forward to what a two-week championship competition vs him will look like.
The $$ league proved to be too tough for me this season. A three game late skid sealed my fate. I am officially 11th out of 12 in the league after being third three weeks ago. Rough times. Also, super competitive. I need to do better next season. I owe it to myself.
