Ya know, it seems to me that things are just not right in the universe. Maybe an asteroid passed too close and set things on a bit of a different orbit. Not much, not even noticeable to most people. But just enough to totally mess with the NFL season!
Here's what I mean: The Raiders are on top of the AFC West, with Denver in second. They have ridiculously unimpressive records. San Francisco has the No. 1 defense in the NFC (huh?) and an offense well into the lower half (I think it's 12th, but I can't check, cuz I'm at work and it's the IT control-freak sports-porn thing). And they have the 2nd best record in football. Not the West, not in the NFC, but in FOOTBALL. The whole league.
It's just not right. The records and stats aren't matching up. My handicapper husband just shakes his head and mumbles.
And how does Green Bay let Tampa in the game at all? "The Battle of the Bays" shouldn't have been at all this year.
My Bears- fan son-in-law is sad that Cutler will be out for the rest of the season. Since when is anyone sad that Cutler is sitting? Not that I'm happy he's hurt, I'm not, but he is usually the other teams' best quarterback. But then, who do they have on the bench??? Hmmmmm.
I hope the planets jiggle themselves back into proper position, because this is just nuts. After the Niners clinch, of course...

Coming Clean...
Ok, I just have to get this off my chest. A couple of weeks ago, bowing to the crushing pressure of the bye weeks and such a thin waiver wire, I, um, well I picked up Alex Smith and started him on two of my fantasy teams.
There, I said it. I still don't believe that he is a good quarterback. But he's come through for me (and my Niners) and I will give credit where it's due. So here goes: Thank you Coach Harbaugh for helping a marginal player do well. And thank you for a record of 8-1!!!!!
Ok, now that I've cleared the air (I feel so much better now) let's talk. We are well over halfway through the fantasy season and my teams are just awful. I don't have even close to a .500 record on any of the three teams. How can this be?
Is it because the Internet Gestapo at my company won't let me research football while I am at work? These IT guys seem to equate ESPN with perverted dog on cat porn and block all my best attempts to get around their domain approvals. I've even gone so far as to complain to my company's board of directors. They all agree with me, but the IT squirrels still prevail. Gah!!! And please don't tell them I am blogging from my work laptop, that might just cause a meltdown.
Maybe it's because I don't have a lot of time at home at night to delve into the ins and outs of what the heck is happening in the NFL (which, by the way, stands for No Frikkin Logic)? I mean, who in the heck is letting the Rams win? And what happened to Buffalo?
Which brings me to my third, and most likelyexcuse possible explanation: Is it because the league is just not behaving the way it is supposed to? I mean, seriously. Miami has a better record than Indy. (I miss you Peyton. I REALLY miss you...). The entire NFC West won this week. How does that happen? I am a long time Niners fan but those of you who've read my posts know I am pretty objective about my team. San Francisco has a better record than New England (doing a happy schadenfreude dance here). Actually the only team in the NFL (again, refer to the definition above) that has a better record than SF is Green Bay. Boo-yah!!!
What it comes down to is having the time to really take care of my teams. And I don't. But I will still play because I truly enjoy it, and enjoy all of you. So when your teams are matched up against mine (for this season at least) you can pull the infield in and pretty much notch a win. Cuz my teams STINK!!!
How are your teams doing? And why do you think your teams are doing how they are? What are yourexcuses reasons?
I want to give a huge thank you to Sue, who makes sure we all have a place to play Fantasy Football and cool people to play with. I know it's frustrating trying to herd all us cats sometimes, but you do a great job Sue, and I truly appreciate your time and effort!
