How the Mighty have Fallen!!!

I am sure I am not the only fantasy football owner wanting to kill themselves over players like Terrell Owens, Larry Johnson, Ladanian Tomlinson, Braylon Edwards, Derek Anderson, Peyton Manning, Antonio Gates, etc All of the "stars" and top players in their position are being outplayed by the likes of Owen Daniels, Matt Ryan, Lendale White, Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Roddy White.

We are seeing a changing of the STARS in Fantasy Football this year. Next year you will no longer see LT and LJ at the top of the draft boards, instead you will see players like Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, Matt Ryan, Roddy White. This has been an interesting season thus far through the first seven weeks filled with heart ache and key injuries to Tom Brady, Tony Romo, etc. It may not be to late to attempt to take advantage of some of your fellow owners and try to "steal" some of the up and coming stars for the old big name players like Terrell Owrns and Ladanian Tomlinson who will still command talent in trades.

Week 7 Suicide Pool Pick of the Week

Remember my rules of picking games for a suicide pool, avoid division games, avoid road team, avoid Monday and Sunday night games.

Those rules don't leave us many options this week, but our Suicide Pool Pick for Week 7 would be the Dallas Cowboys vs the Rams, but since we used the Cowboys our pick this week is the N.Y Giants back at home vs the 49ers.

Shawn Alexander......WHY???

The Washington Redskins signed Shawn Alexander to a contract this week that will pay him about $900,000 for the rest of the season. Ladell Betts went out with an injury this week (surprise) so the Skins needed some depth at running back. My friend and fellow fantasy owner tried to pawn off Alexander on me this week since I have Clinton "The MVP" Portis and of course I had ZERO interest in trading for him.

Shawn Alexander averaged 3.5 yards per carry in his last year with the Seahawks and basically fell down after every hand off. He was just about useless as a fantasy player and real life running back. He doesn't catch passes out of the backfield, he cant run the ball so why did the Skins sign him. My friend the Chef who is obviously qualified to attempt to convince me that the Skins will try to limit Portis's carries to keep him fresh and he may be right for the fact they want to limit his carries, but it wont be with giving Alexander more carries. So the Chef decided to offer me a friendly wager of a meal at our next draft that Shawn Alexander will score more than 5 Touchdowns this season. Keep in mind he had 4 in his last season with the Seahawks, so I took this wager. Mr Chef I look forward to my dinner at next years draft, hopefully you will have some draft picks....

ESPN COME ON ALREADY WITH THIS!!!

If any of you were watching ESPN, which I am sure most of you were, they posted at the bottom of their running news that Jon Kitna was going to be inactive today. Ok, this appears to be accurate, but the problem is they stated that Dan Orlovosky will start and that DREW HENSON will be the backup. Drew Henson is not even in the NFL, its DREW STANTON, our buddies GINO's guy. These guys are professionals and do this for a living and continue to screw things up.
