WARNING - Football talk.
Most of you know... but in case you don't. I am one of the girl that really enjoys fantasy football. This is now my 5 year playing (can that be right... yes it is). I haven't won first place yet (I was robbed in the semi-finals game 2 years ago in the Chicago/Atlanta game. I lost that game by less than 2 points and easily would have cruised through the following week to win it all. I'm not bitter...
Last year I finished 5th... of 14. So I'm in a 14 team league (which is pretty tough because it's VERY slim pickings the second half of the draft. We start 8...we bench 8 (For three years now I've asked to go to 5 bench spots and haven't won that arguement yet). Here is a breakdown of my team... I had the #1 pick this year. I actually prefer the 4th pick.
TEAM NAME: MONSTER MASH
Starters
QB - Carson Palmer - CIN
RB - LaDainian Tomlinson - SD
WR/RB - Edgerrin James -ARZ
WR - Wes Welker - NE
WR - Jericcho Cotchery - NYJ
TE - Ben Watson - NE
K - Nate Kaeding - SD
DEF - Chicago
Bench
QB -Jamarcus Russell - OAK
RB - Chris Brown - HOU
WR/RB - Derrick Mason - BAL
WR - Mussin Muhammad - CAR
WR - Limas Sweed - PIT
TE - Tony Scheffler - DEN
K - Matt Stover - BAL
DEF - Arizona
With all that - I'm a bit concerned about my RB situation if someone gets injured... and my WR. Cotchery could be a good pick - but it all depends on how he connects with Farve. My back up WR aren't all that strong, but we won't really know until the season starts. There were a few times I could have gotten more of a "name" but the bye weeks weren't working out so I kept that in mind. All in all... I'm optimistic but we'll just have to see how it all plays out... starting September 4th!

If I were to have a worse record than Monica, I would just tell her that my league is more competitive.
