A couple of years back a couple of guys ran a fantasy football league from the office across the hall. When they were having problems getting enough players I said I would love to join. They recruited the one guys aunt instead and then complained all season about her not wanting to play. To quote the old knight in Raider’s<\/em> “he chose poorly.” And of course I mentioned that too. <\/p>\n

Fast forward a couple of years. My one girlfriend at the office asked if I wanted to join a league her cousin ran. Read my 10\/21\/08 post on that one. And since I’m typing this from an iPhone and have NO<\/strong> idea how to link… you are on your own. And I must say WOW – 2008. I didn’t realize it had been that long. <\/p>\n

Well, I’ve been happily loosing in my league for years. I’d get close and then blow it. Not close enough to get a good draft pick… just close enough to suck. This year started no different. But I managed to pick up Matt Stafford and some kicker (yeah, I’m into names) because my guys sucked. It didn’t hurt that I have Arian Foster… But dude spent a couple of weeks hurt. I kinda gave up at one point after forgetting to switch my QB. I played a a guy who got me 0 points. I did that a couple of times with various players. Both my QB’s were on bye at the same time … poor planning on my part … But the saving grace that week was the person I was playing against had a lot of Eagles players and I managed to win. <\/p>\n

Long story short. I ended up in the top 2 in my division at the end of the season. Don’t ask – I’m not quite sure how. And the lady I beat, besides being really nice (which is completely irrelevant), had beaten me seriously the 2 games before. Which put me in the final 2. Well butter my buns and call me a biscuit. And going into the Monday night game. I was down slightly with 1 player to play. Nealla was up slightly with 2 players to play. Ask me how I beat her by 2 points. Go ahead – ask. I have NO clue. She should have won. <\/p>\n

So I have bragging rights for the next 6 months… I am the Queen of my Fantasy League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
