I am afraid the shock of being 0-2 is too much for me to take. I felt something snap in my finely tuned monstrosity of a brain when I saw my final score this week. Although I am not a psychiatrist, I believe I am developing a multiple personality disorder.
A part of me has been ecstatic since the football season began. I call him Marlon Banner. With a smile and a spring in his step, Marlon Banner has enjoyed all the great games so far. As a fan, the first two weeks have been blissful.
However, while Marlon Banner was cheering loudly for his favorite teams like a male cheerleader with a giant megaphone (Go Ravens), another Marlon was slowly being transformed by the gamma radiation of losing.
For the second week in a row, the fantasy football playing Marlon has watched his players get smacked around. Anger built steadily as his quarterback Phillip Rivers handed the ball to the running back on his opponent’s roster instead of throwing a touchdown in week one. It reached critical mass when Rivers then had a field day on my bench in week two.
The sweetness of Jeremy Shockey and Darren McFadden overachieving was not enough to stop the birth of Hulk Marlon.
Hulk Marlon can’t believe Trent Edwards had a better game than his quarterback Eli Manning. Hulk Marlon almost put a giant green fist through a wall when his wide receiver, Roy Williams, caught only one pass for 18 yards.
Hulk Marlon is raging and screaming to the heavens unable to accept this horrible start. He pauses briefly; calmly catching his breath when he realizes Shingler and Robinson lost this week too. But the only cure for this titanic mental battle is victory.
Looking for a good doctor,
Marlon
