With the football season just around the corner, the boys here have started the inaugural season of the Sports Fan 4 Fantasy Football League. The league consists of twelve teams vying for the top prize of being the biggest football geek among us.
The league plays one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, one tight end, one kicker, and one defense.

So who do you think has the inside track to victory? Maybe I'm a little biased, but I feel that I'm taking the virtual championship trophy home this year! Drew Brees, Jason Witten, and Adrian Peterson are the top players in their respective categories. Going along with them is a solid receiving core and a serviceable defense in Chicago. Also, I should mention that I couldn't make the live draft so my team was set to auto pick. The football gods must be smiling because this is a dream team in any fantasy league!
Good luck boys, don't choke on the exhaust fumes!
Thanks to Andrew Yang for the funny picture
Well, it certainly helps when you get to pick up Maurice Jones Drew and Heath Miller for free.
Having said that, the Ninja Narwhals will vanquish all challengers.
HAHAHA……Adam I’ll give you Sanchez’s left pinkie toe for Frank Gore, let me know what you think, we might be able to “force” that one through.
Done! You can’t tackle a pinkie toe = touchdowns for everyone. Suckaaaah, you just lost your best player. Haha.
I’m a scumbag…moving on. I still think even with that move I don’t even have one of the top three teams in the league.
I’m a big fan of Tequila Sunrise. Peyton Manning is good for some decent points and Driver is underrated.
I couldn’t agree more. That owner certainly has a good shot this season!
Haha, no bias right Matt?
This is going to be fun to watch! Good luck all!
Well, I am truly not liking you Mr Sham WOW right now,seriously. I have him you week one and I have a bad feeling about it.
How did you get AP and Brees, damn it. I wish the draft wasn’t moved from Monday to Sunday because I missed the whole thing.
FYI: Kellen Winslow is not my starter, per se, he’s starting week 1 because I like his matchup against the Cowboys better than Chris Cooley against the Giants.
