I Am So Ready For Some Football

Tomorrow kicks off the NFL season, and I'm seriously psyched about it. I'm not sure the Niners can expect more than 6, maybe 7 wins this season, but I am actually interested in watching, which says something.

And with football comes fantasy football, of course. Because I'm sick, I am actually in three leagues this year. And yes, I have a 3 1/2 month old daughter. (These teams run themselves!)

What's interesting is that unlike other years when I've had multiple teams, I have almost no similar players across any team aside from some backup players. That's pretty bizarre to me - I like almost all of the guys I have, which either means I don't have very discerning taste, or that there's a LOT of guys who are potentially good this year.

It's actually both, but definitely the latter.

One last note on this -- don't you think the Republican National Convention could choose a better time for John McCain's nominating speech than the first night of the football season? With a game featuring THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS?

If I were a more cynical person, I'd suggest that WAS intentional, as a way to divert people from the horror show. (I kid! Those wacky Republicans had fun tonight.)
