Here it is. The start of the 2012 NFL regular season. Doesn't it feel like it's been a million years since the last season? Maybe it's just me.
Anyway, with the new season comes roster changes, coaching and staff changes, hypothesizing about team performance, and, most importantly, fantasy football!
This is my third year playing fantasy football and the first two did not go so well. That means that I'm out for blood this time around. I'd like to blame specific players for my inadequacies, but it's all my fault. The first year, I drafted a team completely based on good looking players. As you would imagine, that strategy was not my idea. And last year, I took players that I knew and picked a lot from the Titans and the Jets 'cause I like them the most.
This year was different. I decided to follow my head, not my heart. I vowed to make shrewd choices, despite how I internally felt about the players. And where did that lead me? It lead me to choosing Tom Brady as my 1st overall pick.
Tom effing Brady.
I hate that dude. And I still feel gross inside that I made him my first choice. But I'm here to win games, friends, and TB is going to do it for me. Barf.
Here's the rest of my roster, as it sits right now.
QB- Tom Brady (Pats)
RB- Shonne Green (Jets)
RB- Trent Richardson (Browns)
WR- Andre Johnson (Texans)
WR- Marques Colston (Saints)
TE- Vernon Davis (49ers)
Flex- Beanie Wells (Cards)
Kicker- Stephen Gostkowski (Pats)
Defense- Jets
Bench- Mark Sanchez (Jets)
Bench- James Stark (Packers)
Bench- Pierre Thomas (Saints)
Bench- Austin Collie (Colts)
Bench- Rob Bironas (Titans)
As you can see, my heart still had a say once it got to my bench. There will never be a time I don't choose Mark Sanchez to be on my roster because I still believe he's going to be a great quarterback. Also, Austin Collie's pretty face generally makes my roster, despite him being a magnet for concussions.
I feel pretty great about my team and I think that I'm gonna dominate my league. Watch out, bitches. Blanche Sanche is all over your asses.
xoxo,
Blanche Sanche
