Fantasy Football Fail Proof First Round and other observations

this is todd's first, and not last 64 60 posting. feels good to be here. astros suck.

starting with fantasy football...

unlike most of you clowns, my fantasy baseball roster is pretty much in place so i have started looking down the road. i will see some of you in the playoffs. i wont see dave or gilbert. sorry guys, you just aint got the roster in my opinion. while looking down the road i have mocked SEVERAL football teams and have drafted one. i will lay out my opinion of the way the first round should play out and the awesome and awful moves ive noticed in drafting. listen up.

Rd. 1 pick 1: Chris Johnson, RB, Tennisee Titans

rd 1 pick 2: Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jacksonville Jags

rd 1 pick 12: Calvin Johnson, WR, Detriot Lions
2009: 67 rec, 5 tds
2010: 93, 10


awful first rd. ideas

1) the first overall pick panic.
-while this years 'number one overall' isnt as concrete as in recent years i think it can only be 2 players, and neither of them are adrian peterson. the top tier is chris johnson (cj) or maurice jones-drew (mjd), both of these guys are capable of 2000 total yards and 15 - 18 tds, pretty retarded. if it were me, and i hope it is, im taking cj, but if im 'stuck' with mjd im not crying. while im sure it wont happen in our more educated league, ive seen a higher then usual amount of QBs taken first. this is more retarded. this moves me to my next bad idea.

2) 'With the 9th overall pick, the {stupid name} select...'
-when the top RBs and the Andre Johnsons of the world (there is only one) are gone, some thought goes into your pick. should i go with the best QBs (brees, manning) or another top WR? this is a very simple problem for your boy, i take the WR every day of the week. after AJ there are still some all world WR for the taking. Reggie Wayne, Randy Moss, Larry, and Megatron are better options i think.

awesome ideas for the 1st rd.

1) get MJD if he falls past 2.
-ive seen him anywhere from 1 to 6. i like him anywhere i can get him.

2) get reggie wayne
-ive seen him fall out of the first rd. this should not happen.



other observations.

the lebron/wade/bosh monster is awesome. anyone who disagrees needs awesome lessons

the reds need to be buyers- add a bat walt. they need it. i have a feeling scott rolen isnt going to hit 40 hrs this year. anyone who does is kidding themselves.

the astros suck

evans beats rua for the ufc light heavy. rd 4. 1:19

look out for the texas rangers for a world series shocker

ubaldo for cy young, ditto cliff lee

soccer sucks more then the astros

rex ryan is right, the jets are the team to beat. that sounds weird.

UK looking like a powerhouse again. god bless the bluegrass
