In which I post something about which you do not give a fuck
Had my fantasy football draft last night. Normally, it's a day I look forward as eagerly as I do Christmas, but for some reason, my heart wasn't in it as much this year. While my research is usually ridiculously in-depth (not unusual for me to show up with a dozen printed out spreadsheets), this time, I only had a couple pages torn out of a 6 week old SI, and an internet website I use. My 9 year streak of never missing the playoffs (impressive in a league of 16 teams), might be in jeopardy.
Anyway, the point of this post is that I was fucked over by Yahoo! and Chex Mix. I understand that the fantasy football league I'm in is free, and Yahoo! needs to get their money from somewhere, but putting Chex Mix ads right in the middle of the draft is not cool. Between that and the unecessary use of furturistc countdown clocks, pictures, etc., my browser locked up twice. In my absense, Yahoo! was kind enough to draft the 5,000,000 year old Rudi Johnson in the fifth round, and TE Vernon Davis in the 9th round. A TE in the NINTH ROUND. I was able to get a comparable TE in the 22nd round with my second to last pick. Dammit.
So today, I've been going over all my picks from last night, and of course, it's a litany of concussions, hamstrings, bruises, knees, and foot lacerations. Okay, only one foot laceration, but why the hell was he practicing with no shoes on? WHY DID YOU BUCKLE UP? WHY?? (<---- a second inside reference about which you don't care.)
If my squad was healthy, I'd figure my chances are as good as anyone is the league. As it is now though... meh.
