After watching Pacific Rim I am considering renaming my Fantasy team Gypsy Danger. After all, the underdog bot story matches up well with my last few seasons. Not to spoil the movie, Gypsy Danger turns out to be a lot more plucky then the bad guys would like. I think I’m going to be the same way in this year’s breakout season. The key: Not relying on the stars of the game.
I’m going to rely heavily on the evidence and predictive models this year. I intend to marry that number sense with some danger sense of my own. Who is primed for a tough physical season? Who is likely to break down early? Who has nothing to play for? Who is playing for everything? No secret that the QB’s in a two QB league are going to go fast, so I need to look past the obvious Mannings and Bradys and look for end of the bench guys and potential late season starters to round out my offense.
Its going to be a fun season. They Might Be Giants/Gypsy Danger look good to win it all.
Some Thoughts:
- Started the study room remodel yesterday with some initial shopping. I don’t think I will be painting much of the walls–if any. I had a strong idea for a chalkboard wall, but I’m not sure how to make that successful with the textured walls we have. I should paint the entire room, but given the time required to do so, it is highly unlikely. An accent wall is still possible. The basic white on black design is going to be highlighted by green, blue, and red, which are the boys’ three colors and will help identify the spaces within the space. There may be pictures or a post or both when finished.
