Thanks to a stunning performance last night by ex-Saint Ricky Williams, my fantasy football team (The Bobby Heberts) has eeked into the playoffs, edging out such outstandingly named squads as the Flying Alpacas, Bye Week, and Kwyjibo. This weekend, I’ll be facing the intimidating UrShellackers for a spot in the league finals.
Players you’re all encouraged to root for this weekend: Rich Gannon, Eddie George, Michael Bennett, Eric Moulds, Amani Toomer, Shannon Sharpe, Koren Robinson, Sebastian Janikowski, Simeon Rice, Jason Webster, Eric Barton, Sammy Knight, Roy Williams, and Jason Webster.
Players whose minor, pain-free, but week-long disabling you are encouraged to support: Jeff Garcia, Peerless Price, Corey Dillon, Derrick Mason, Duce Staley, Marcus Pollard, Keenan McCardell, Mike Vanderjagt, Derrick Brooks, Keith Brooking, Zach Thomas, Adam Archuleta, and Rodney Harrison.
Do I gotta root twice as hard for Jason Webster? ;^)
Or is that two people?
doh.
