ARGGGG.

I am playing Fantasy Football again. GlazednConfused and I have a team that we manage together. Last year we won the Superbowl, made loads of money, and are at it again this year. The problem with winning the Superbowl is that the next year you get hosed on picks – meaning you go dead last. In reality this isn’t as bad as it sounds as the draft we had was using what is called Snake Pick Format. It looks something like this:

Round 1: Team 1, Team 2, Team 3…. Team 10

Round 2: Team 10, Team 9… Team 1

Round 3: Team 1… Team 10

And so on. The best place to be, in my opinion, is dead center as you get less dead time between picks. The problem with being on the ends is that you get two solid picks in a row and then nothing for a long time. Our picks were tough as that means that we had to get a running back and a quarterback as our first picks – leaving us with lackluster receivers and other QBs and RBs down the road. The real mistake was made when we picked lots of players with the same bye week – so now we lack coverage.

Two games have been played – we lost both – in effect we got beat like a rented mule. Screwed – no kissing. It was bad. Week three we lose half our team to byes. We are basically already done for the season. At the least that will ensure us a better pick spot for next year and it only cost us $40 for that set of mistakes! Thank god we aren’t paying for every loss.
