Thankful Thursday - FOOTBALL!!!!
So for those of you who do not know me, I am a HUGE football fan - particularly the Denver Broncos (stop laughing), but a football fan in general as well. I have played fantasy football for the past 5 years and won 1st place in all years except last year (mumble). This year, I plan to bring it back!
I am ever-so-thankful that the players and owners were able to work out their ridiculous disagreements so that us fans could enjoy another football season which starts TONIGHT!
Tonight I am rooting for Green Bay - not just because Aaron Rodgers is my starting QB in fantasy, but also because I've liked Rodgers since he took over that position - or maybe I just hated Farve so much that it seems like I like Rodgers. Shrug. Either way, GO GREEN BAY!!!!!
Here is my starting line-up for my fantasy team in Week One. Wish me luck!
QB: Aaron Rodgers - GB
WR: Andre Johnson - HOU
WR: DeSean Jackson - PHI (I had him last year and was pleased)
RB: Peyton Hillis - CLE
RB: Matt Forte - CHI (I had him last year and was pleased)
TE: Rob Gronkowski - NE
TE: Dallas Clark - IND
W/R/T: Brandon Lloyd - DEN (WR)
K: Sebastian Janikowski - OAK (it pains me to have a Raider on my roster, but he's good, so I have to suck it up)
DEF (team): New England
D (individual): DeAngelo Hall (I had him last year and was pleased)
D (individual): Ray Lewis (it also pains me to have him on my team as I despise him, but again, he's good, so I have to suck it up)
Do you play Fantasy Football or watch Football? Who's on your fantasy team or who is your favorite NFL team?
Very cool that you won for so many years! I'm not into football in the least. lmao In fact I'm not all that into sports. =P I do like watching the tv series The League though! If you haven't seen it you should. =)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo football!!! But for me mostly it's college football! I grew up a 49er's fan though, still love them. With Pat, I have become an Eagles fan. And of course living in San Diego through college and now again I am a Chargers fan!
ReplyDeletePlayed fantasy football one year with Pat and his family, but we weren't fans. Good luck this year!!!
