It's fall time and so when we get home from church there is football on TV and in my family room. Brian and Zach are on lap number 20 around the house with intermittant tackles and throwing and catching. It's very entertaining. Much more so then the games on TV, especially when I try to follow my fantasy players.
Every year I have joked about how the players I draft seem to have their down years when they are on my teams (ex. Frank Gore, Maurice Jones-Drew, Steve Smith, etc.) So this year I am sending each of my players a letter...
Dear Mr. Rogers,
Congratulations on a successful start to your NFL career. I regret to inform you that for this season you have been drafted to my fantasy football team. This will very likely mean you will not throw for too many touchdowns or too many yards. I apologize for the damper this may put on your career. Rest assured however that this condition is temporary and after you have been released, traded, injured or saved by the end of season your numbers will most certainly improve. I cannot accept any liability for your decrease in performance and I wish you the best of luck as you work through this slump.
Sincerely,
Mama Mayhem of the Honduran picano league.
