Ok - I will post something that is not political in nature.  I had the pleasure this evening of participating in my annual fantasy football draft.  It is a ritural that began in my college days with a group of 12 of us and has continued each year since.  Of the 12 in the league today, 7 were in the league back in college and I think we’ll all be in for a long time to come.  Its a wonderful blessing to share this connection with the fellas because, with the exception of 1-2 of the guys in the league, I probably wouldn’t be in contact with the rest if it wasn’t for the league.

My teams this year are looking fairly solid with the primary weakness being depth.  I have, I think, great starting lineups, but the backups (especially at RB) are really horrific. My big thing for this season is that I need Larry Johnson to stay healthy as he is my RB in both leagues.  Please Larry, return to some measure of your 2006 form!!!

Beyond that, I am relying upon guys like Frank Gore, Calvin Johnson, Ben Roethlisburger (sp?), Drew Brees, Selvin Young, Lee Evans, and Randy Moss (nice) to lead me to back-to-back titles in one league and a first title in the other league. There’s a few sleepers and fliers thrown in as well, but I’ll rise and fall with the guys above.
