I’m pretty crossed up about fantasy football. My team is in a 2 QB league, which means I should have 3 to satisfy the Bye week. My 3rd was Robert Griffin the 3rd, who fell to an injury in preseason and lost his job on the other side. My other two QBs both were injured within hours of each other this sunday. Cutler is gone for at least 3 weeks and Romo is, well, pulling a Romo. We should see him and Dez make their triumphant return in two and a half months–right round the fantasy playoffs.
I’ll be toast by then.
There is a way of playing the game where you seek to destroy your opponent. The league I am in feels that way, because they’ve snapped up every possible QB, leaving me to hope for the backups to the two I lost. Given that other teams lost players this week (most notably Drew Brees), I don’t have a lot of chance to score two QBs without some crazy trading happening. I might just be done for the season… in week 2.
Some Thoughts:
- This week has been interesting already in that I am really beginning to take stock of my responsibilities and make measured gains in reducing how much I have to do on a daily basis in order to make space for the things I already do that can be done with more car and depth.
- I am also thinking about the lifespan of cars. Mine is well over 150K and I bought the little box in 2008. It feels like something that I need to think through/work on.
- I’m happy. It is a good feeling. I used to be happy every day, and for a while I went dark, but I’m back to my old ways–in so far as happy I mean. My old old ways wouldn’t be smart life choices.
- I’m more excited about the soccer season this year for my kids then I am about the football season. I think it is because I am more intimately involved in the soccer–I help coach and can work on making shirts and cool stuff like that whereas in football all of that is left to other people who may or may not get it done in a way and level that makes me gleeful. Still, I promised not to helicopter so there.
