It is on now.
Considering how close we are to the regular season, I gotta get back into the normal routine of Wednesday peeks at the waiver wire to see who I gleaned and who was culled. Over time I’ve become more of a student of the game than I ever was in the past. I long dabbled in the idea of football, even played a little, but I don’t think I ever showed the level of effort to match how serious I thought I was about the game.
Age brings wisdom and renews effort. I recognize that I can’t be everything, and trying to be only dilutes my effectiveness at the things I want to be good at. So, I’ve lightened the load of psychological responsibility but left room for being very good at understanding, coaching, predicting, and even playing football. I’ve done what I should have done 20 years ago but didn’t. I’ve created a list of priorities that doesn’t leave room for nonsense. It makes me an effective coach and a dangerous fantasy leaguer.
What’s the next step? I won’t reveal too much about my draft plan, because interlopers may be listening. Suffice to say the number of sleepers available this year makes last year’s sleeperpalooza look lame. David Wilson was supposed to be part of that list, but given the sudden rash of injuries to the Giants O-Line, the 2nd year running back may need to become a 3rd year running back before gaining any significant traction. On the other hand, he is quite elusive. I think elusive is the magic word this year. I might even incorporate it into my team name…
