Did I mention that I’m the only chick in my fantasy football league?
There’s the Haitian Sensation, Brady’s Shoulder, G-Men, Street Cred, Blaze, GSU Tigers, We Dey All Dey and many others, including myself, Sookie Sookie Now.
I’ve got a team name that at least stands up to the imaginations of my league mates, and I’ve crept from last place to 6th place. I know, it’s not that high. However, when I consider that my learning curve has sprung up astronomically, I’m pretty happy not to be last.
Last week I picked up Denver’s defense and dropped the wack defense of the Kansas City Chiefs. Good move. Though the Broncos lost on Monday night, I picked up 15 fantasy defense points, enabling me to cream the Haitian Sensation, or the Gambler, for my Boston friends who probably know who this is. 
I should’ve played Hines Ward from the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I ran with Wes Welker of the Patriots and Marques Colston of the New Orleans Saints. Neither Wes or Marques had high point games, but that’s because they were up against teams that had awesome defenses, so it was difficult to get the ball into their hands (me thinks…) Anyhoo… I wound up with 101 points and the Haitian Sensation had 71.
I’ve also discovered a slough of ladies who have joined me in the fantasy struggle. Not only is Holly Robinson Peete an avid fantasy fan, but my friends over at the blog Heels In the Huddle, a friend at the Christian TV network and an editor at the Wall Street Journal have all shouted out “i play too!” And guess what, the girls all seem to be winning. This week, anyway…
