What am I gonna say this time?-Worst Person 23 and 24

This is going to be more of just me talking but I’m gonna throw a worst person in there too for a little bit. But there’s a lot I wanna talk about.

First off, for anyone that plays fantasy football, I want to advise against one thing for any league you do in the future. Try to avoid family members. It just never ends well. I’m in a league that is only my family and it’s really been something. I’m going to offer a few nonexistent yet hilarious “awards” today.

First award goes to the best sleeper draft pick. A sleeper is a player that no one really thought was going to do that great but had a lot of potential. This player wasn’t highly sought after during the draft, but was stilled picked up. Usually sleepers are taken with late picks like the 10th or 11th round. This year, my mother of all people decided to pick up the biggest sleeper in the 4th round.

That player is Reggie Bush.

I’ll be honest. My mother was talking about drafting Reggie Bush the whole time. I’ll also tell you that if I got to the 8th round and he was still there, I was taking him. With the exception of my mother and I, no one saw his potential on a Dolphins team with no other weapons. My only issue with this is that 1) I’m playing against my mother this week and 2) she took him WAAAAY too early and missed out on bigger name players. However, that’s coming from someone that is 1-1 after the first two weeks. She’s 2-0.Read More »

NFL Free Agency…Gotta love it!

Now that my Eagles have finally been able to sign DeSean Jackson to a long term contract (5 years, 48.5 million), I can now focus on other teams and their signings.

The talent class this year is absolutely endless. Some stars like Cortland Finnegan, Carl Nicks and Vincent Jackson went off the board very early. And now, as we sit in the third day of free agency, I just have one thing to say to the Eagles.

SIGN A FRICKIN LINEBACKER!!!!

Now that we have covered that, let’s look at some more big names. DE and OLB Mario Williams signed a massive 6 year, 96 million dollar contract with the Buffalo Bills, which may be the big signing of the year. This move bolsters an already dominant defensive line for Buffalo.

Another big signing was the signing of Brandon Carr by the Dallas Cowboys. Ya, I hate it. But it was still a smart pickup by the Cowboys.

I won’t say much more since i hate this team.

The moves are wild right now. I will probably blog a supreme amount in the coming weeks as the NFL Draft approaches and other trades and signings are made.
