sunday feasting

Hey guys-

Gosh, it's been a week since i've posted? Groan. Take my word for it, it hasn't been for a lack of trying. On other computers it seems like i get locked out of signing in, it happened a number of times over thanksgiving break over at my house in california. Unbelievable.

Speaking of thanksgiving break, hope everyone had a great break. I truly had one of my more memorable breaks ever, even though i didn't eat any turkey ( we were invited to a party on thanksgiving that didn't serve turkey but did serve some great food). I'm getting my sister mixed up in the spelling bee ( more about that later, but I'm optimistic), and I saw a great holiday movie, Fred Claus. I recommend it to anyone reading this, especially if u like christmas as much as I do. I have christmas music playin as i write this.


Anyway, football analysis. I was gonna do a basketball update on friday, but because of "access denied" situation i couldn't, but a lot of stuff's going down in NBA hoops, lemme assure you. However, on to football, I start with a familiar battle cry:

GATES, baby! 105 yds, 2TD's today. Game's not over. It seems whenever rivers is on, gates gets his numbers. Not suprising correlation/causation, obviously. Tomlinson, to many, is having a down year, but I feel like he's still doing what he does............at a slightly decreased pace. Last year his offense was just so dynamic that he ran free at will, this year people are clamping down on him and it's harder, but he's still putting up tough yards every game, the TD's just aren't there in abundance.

Willis McGahee has quietly put up a TD in his last 5 games. Turning into a pretty good back, too bad baltimore hasn't been winning those games. Another loss today puts them pretty much out of the playoff picture.

The Minnesota D was a fantasy superstar today, returning 3, THREE! interceptions for TD's off of eli manning. Giants fans ( like my one friend Justin) are banging their heads and praying that it's not a repeat of last year's 2nd half meltdown. Plaxico Burress, to his credit, did get on track, getting 93 and a TD. Reuben Droughns started and got a TD for them, but that is NOT who u want ur starting RB to be. Chester Taylor got another solid game.............it seems counterintuitive but should they just rest adrian peterson the rest of the season to keep him healthy or at least time-share him, get as much as they can out of taylor?


San Fran and Arizona going into OT. Larry Fitzgerald monster game, 147 yds and 2 TD's and again, game's not over. I'm not too suprised this game is so close even tho arizona's in the hunt for a playoff spot at 5-5 and san fran sucks, 49ers traditionally play cardinals tough and it's probably difficult for young team to take the niners seriously. It doesn't look like anybody in the NFC wants the last 2 wildcard spots.

Detroit lost to go to 6-5, NYG lost to go to 7-4, arizona might lose, washington lost to go to 5-6........tsk, tsk, tsk.

New Orleans might just back into a playoff spot as they are now 5-6 after demolishing the panthers on the road. Drew brees is the epitome of that team as he is pretty inconsistent from week to week, today we got Dr. Jekyll as he put up 3 TD's thru the air and ran one in. Who knows what we get next week vs. tampa bay, i'm guessing Mr. Hyde.

Steve smith just having a totally repressed season, his numbers could be so much bigger on a better team or one that has a better QB..............that's just a waste in fantasy terms.


I saw that cedric benson got carted off the field and said, o no, but really, i don't feel too bad for the bears. That's really not a big loss. They're losing today after a lot of people picked them against the broncos............bears might finally stop providing false hope if they lose today.
They're driving right now i suppose.

Uh..............jacksonville is a good team. They actually came back after a big win and delivered a big performance......all of their relevant fantasy starters posted good numbers in a thrashing of the bills.......david garrard, maurice jones-drew, fragile fred, reggie williams.

Lee Evans has the steve smith syndrome. ( see above)

Cleveland's offense is legit. And their schedule is favorable inthe last few weeks, but will the defense carry them?
Again, the 3-pronged attack of derek anderson, braylon edwards, and kellen winslow the soldier in the passing game.

Apparently new england is a 24.5 point favorites against philadelphia led by a.j. feeley tonight. That should be interesting.


Alright bears lining up for a TD attempt is this going to OT? I still for some reason want the bears to lose. I guess they're an exciting team, but they're not that good. 4th down.............



What's it going to be?

Fantasize on,
