We Heart Fantasy Football

Look, we’re back – a week later! See, we’re making time in our busy schedules for you guys.

Fantasy Football Update
We’re getting addicted to FFL. The Playing the Field girls both kicked serious ass last week, with Fendizzle scoring a whopping 161 points and Andrea 146. Thank you, Tom Brady, for not just being the hotness, but for also throwing 5 TD’s and getting 44 fantasy points! SUCH a bada**.

The Standings:
Andrea 4-2-0
IMAWESOME 4-2-0
Witwicky 3-3-0
Vickster1234 1-5-0

Our Redskins fell to a rejuvenated Brett Favre and the Packers, 17-14. We’d recap, but Fenella went to Vegas and Andrea went apple picking. Andrea blames the Redskins on her inability to perform her gametime ritual of wearing her Redskins hat and falling asleep in the midst of it all. The Pats kicked more ass versus the Cowboys Sunday. Do you think that maybe they’re a little pissed over that whole cheating thing and are trying to prove something? It’s like every game, they’re like “Ha! In your FACE [insert team here]!” Stop it, Bill, stop it. Actually, as long as Brady keeps throwing those TD’s, we’re okay.

And who chooses MNF games? Seriously. Giants – Falcons? Eli Manning, Plexi Glass Burress and Joey Harrington are primetime, ESPN, Monday Night Football-worthy? Really?? Okay, okay, so Michael Vick was probably still on the roster when the NFL scheduled this, but he alone is not MNF material…. Seriously, Giants-Falcons?

Parity? Perhaps…No
It was another weekend of college football upsets. Former #1 LSU fell to Kentucky in triple OT and Cal, who had the #1 spot for the taking, fell to Oregon State. Back-up QB Kevin Riley tried to run the ball and then get the field goal unit on the field with two seconds left in the game. TWO SECONDS. What are you thinking?! Newbie. So we don’t know WHY we entrust computers to rank teams, since they can’t watch any of the games. But those BCS computers went haywire and ranked Ohio State as number one and USF as number two. Who, you say? It doesn’t matter, because their reign at number two was short lived, as USF fell in a close one to last-year’s darling Rutgers 30-27.

Meanwhile, USC barely scraped by Arizona. Their back-up QB Mark Sanchez nearly blew it in the end. SC’s falling further down the polls, and it’s really stressing Fenella out. This weekend they play Notre Dame, and God help them if they lose and lower themselves down to – gasp – UCLA level.

Colorado Contues Rockin and Rollin’
And how about those Rockies, ey?!?!! Do they remember what losing feels like? Hopefully that long break before the World Series doesn’t kill their momentum. They await the winner of Indians-Red Sox series. The Red Sox are hanging on…mayhaps they play best when they fall behind in the series and then like to play catch up. They like drama. But can you really win with A) a guy named Coco Crisp on your roster (What pro athlete goes by the name Coco? He sounds like a cereal!) and B) a supposedly good pitcher whose last name means “WIN” in French (Gagne) does anything but?

And finally…
Question of the week: What are the odds that Kobe Bryant gets traded? We don’t really care, as long as he doesn’t go to the Wizards!
