The one thing fantasy football team owners have in common with players and coaches before the first games of the season starts is hope.
The draft is over and we have adjusted our line ups due to injury and last minute trades. We hope we have started the best team possible and at the same time hope our opponent has made a fatal error.
As the first day of the NFL progresses we all cheer our brilliance one minute and curse our stupidity the next. I have written before how fantasy football is not for the timid. Winners are forged in the flames of skill and a little luck while losers burn like charcoal into the ashes of regret.
In week one of The All State league, arch nemesis’ enjoy his fruits of victory.

Quote: “I love starting of the season with a win. I think it gives everyone else a clear indicator of what to expect. Some might hesitate to brag about winning before all the scores are tallied. However, I have such a healthy lead with two players yet to play, it would take a miracle for Davenport’s mediocre squad to catch me.
“Honestly, I would be surprised if anyone looked at our two teams and really expected me to lose. Last but not least, I should congratulate Robinson for what appears to be a week one win. However, I think I will pass.
“The Rookie better enjoy his brief stay at the top.”

Quote: “I feel pretty bad for our director of Housing/Residence Life, Joe Mills. Kevin Kolb was a great pick for a starting quarterback.
“OK, I can’t lie. I don’t feel bad at all. I was jumping with joy when I realized that Kolb couldn’t play against my team. Mills was winning the entire day up until the late afternoon games.
“I posted a low winning score because my some of my top players didn’t show up to their games. I was so disappointed in the performance of Michael Turner and Andre Johnson. On the positive side, while losing Peyton Manning looked amazing against the Houston Texans. My next victim should prepare for that.”
