American Football is here!!

     Wow, what a great game Thursday night!  Could you ask for anything more from a football opener?  I was at a sports bar for the game and the whole place was going crazy!  Green Bay won 42-34 on a last second goal line stuff of Mark Ingram.  Here are some highlights if you didn't see the game...

     It was a great game for my fantasy players as well.  I had Greg Jennings who had 89 yards and a score and Jimmy Graham who had 56 yards and a score netting me a cool 25.6 pts to start the week.

     I couldn't think of anything else to write about today so I guess I'll share my fantasy football team with you all.  The league is a standard yahoo competitive 10 team league.  I had the 8th pick in the draft.  I did not do any kind of research prior to this draft and was going with the Yahoo expert ranks as my cheat sheet.  Oh yeah, I forgot to draft a kicker or defense but who the hell cares about kicker or defense.   Here was my draft with round and pick number...

Round Pick

1.	(8)	Rashard Mendenhall	RB  I could have picked LeSean McCoy here also.  Mendenhall is a lock for 10-15 TDs.
2.	(13)	Maurice Jones-Drew	RB  Yahoo experts had him ranked pretty high but had I known he is coming off knee surgery I wouldn't have picked him.
3.	(28)	Miles Austin	WR  I wanted to get a couple of top receivers on good offenses and Miles was the best one available.
4.	(33)	Greg Jennings	WR  Tony Romo was my other thought here but want to diversify my offensive players.
5.	(48)	Ahmad Bradshaw	RB  I couldn't believe I got him this late.
6.	(53)	Jeremy Maclin	WR  I probably should have drafted a QB here.
7.	(68)	Jimmy Graham	TE  One of the best sleeper tight ends, might have reached a bit.
8.	(73)	Mark Ingram	RB  I had to take Ingram here, couldn't believe he was still available.
9.	(88)	Eli Manning	QB  I was hoping Stafford fell to me but someone scooped him up right before me and now won't even take an offer for him.  I have really low expectations for Manning this year and am looking for a new QB.
10.	(93)	Sidney Rice	WR  I had no idea who to pick.  Seattle's passing game is going to stink this year.
11.	(108)	Lance Moore	WR  I had no idea who to pick so went with someone from a good offense.
12.	(113)	Fred Jackson	RB  A starting running back still left? I'll take him!
13.	(128)	Aaron Hernandez	TE  He could be the number 2 receiver on the team behind Welker, supremely talented.
14.	(133)	Roy Williams	WR  Wasted pick because of my Bears love.  I had no idea how many picks I had left at this point.
15.	(148)	Cam Newton	QB  I love Cam this year and think he is going to do real well. 50 rushing yards a game are going to help a lot!
