Having something of a heart attack as my team score points.

Having something of a heart attack as my team score points.  Look at those dark circles.  Yech.

So hey, guess what?  I won 1st place in my Fantasy Football league!!  Craziness!  I’m so outrageously happy right now, I can barely see straight.  Along with pride, I win $450.  I never win things!!!

I’ve said it all before, but I really had nothing to do with NFL before joining this league.  But I read every piece of information about football I could get my hands on and started watching games, and look at me now.  A champion.  I can wear that Fantasy Football Legend (courtesy of my brother-in-law) with absolute pride.

Look at how close the score was thought.  Let me tell you, if I had lost the championship, Jim Caldwell and I would be in a BIG fight right now.  In case you haven’t heard, that buttface of a coach took out the Indianapolis Colts’ starters (INCLUDING Dallas Clark, MY tight end) when they only had a 5-point lead over the Jets on Sunday.  Thus, the 14-0 Colts became the 14-1 Colts.  Stupid stupid.  Dallas Clark is like the best tight end in the NFL right now, and he always scored megapoints for me, but not this week.

PS, they totally could have had the perfect record.  And I know the point was to make sure the starters didn’t get hurt before the playoffs blah blah.  But really?  Really?!?!  So Jim Caldwell, YOU’RE LUCKY I won.  Call it a Christmas blessing for yourself or whatever.  And get a hobby.

For now, I’m still really happy that eating, sleeping, and breathing Fantasy Football for the past 4+ months has paid off.  I’ll stop talking now, but before I do, it’s important to note that in our league of 12 team managers, three of them were girls.  All three of us girls retain the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions in the league championship.  Just sayin.’  Girls can be Fantasy Football Legends.  Trust.

  • Well-played this season. I will say that Michelle and I probably had the best draft of anyone this year, as we made the least amount of moves (you made 15x as many moves as we made!) and still managed third place. I look forward to next season!

  • Individual defensive players…hmmm…I should try that next year. I see Matt Forte on your bench…I drafted him 4th overall and sat on my bench the last 2 weeks. Grrrr.
