I had intended to have my draft by now, but I'll delay it until Monday if I can get at least two more people to sign up.  Head-to-head league!  Lots o' action!  Trash-talking allowed ( Read more... )

Apparently the URL I provided in my invitation to join my fantasy football league is not useful for actually signing up, so here's the information you need ( Read more... )

Now that I have your attention (because I know most of you have given up on me by now), I can assure you I will not be appearing naked and causing any sudden urges to tear your eyes out ( Read more... )

John Elway had the helicopter, and now Eli Manning has the Great Escape.  That was the play of the freaking decade, Eli scampering away from what was surely a drive-killing sack and finding David Tyree downfield, who held the ball against his helmet for a 32-yard reception and eventually leading to Plaxico Burress' game-winning touchdown catch.  ( Read more... )
