We are the Champions!
Last night one of my three fantasy football teams clinched first place. Going into the game between San Diego and Denver I was behind by two points, but I had Ladanian Tomlinson, game, set match. I've been playing fantasy football for about five years now and I've played in as many as five different leagues in one season. That became just too much trouble to keep track of, so this year I backed down to three leagues. One league was an automatic draft public league, one league was a live draft public league, and the last league was a live draft and private. It was my public, auto-draft team that won the championship. As you can probably tell, this is my first league championship. I have placed first once, second once, and third a couple of times. I really don't know what it is about this game that I like, but it is addicting. I guess that's why I had five different teams one year. Now that the fantasy season is over, I can go back to following the Cowboys closely and hope they win it all. Oh yeah, I can start setting up that new computer I told you about several posts back. I also have a Christmas close call you need to hear about. Merry Christmas all!

Now What Do I Do For Entertainment?
I am wrapping up my fifth year playing fantasy football. It may be my last as I am beginning to lose interest. I started this year playing in three different leagues, one in NFL.com and the other two in Yahoo. I have always played in multiple leagues, with five being the most. That got a little out of hand. In the past five years I have won two championships and placed third.
This year I started out great. I was undefeated in all three leagues the first three weeks of the season. By week five I had only lost one game. I managed to stay in first place in two of the leagues until week ten before the bottom fell out. In NFL.com I looked like the New Orleans Saints. I started off great and then lost five of the last six games to finish out of the playoffs.
In the private Yahoo league I finished the regular season in second place and then lost the first round playoff game last week. That leaves me with the Yahoo public league. I finished the regular season in third place and the playoffs begin this week. I really need another virtual trophy.
The question is, what am I going to do for entertainment after the season. I don't like pro baskeball. I wouldn't walk across the street to see an NBA game if they taped a $20 bill to every seat in the house! Fantasy baseball looks like too much work. So ...now what do I do for entertainment?
Well, I will probably spend a little more time working on this blog. I will wait until American Idol starts in January, then cruise some of my favorite blogs to post and chat with other fans, and I have enrolled in a PhotoShop Elements class at the local community college. That ought to keep me entertained for a couple of months.
