In the case of tonight’s Monday Night Football game, they are, in order, family and the Philadelphia Eagles. I need a huge night from Terrell Owens to win my fantasy game but really, I have to stand with the wife’s fam in Buffalo and hope for an upset. Keeping the Dallas Cowboys from widening their lead over the Philadelphia Eagles makes a nice side benefit.
So, to the clan back in Buffalo, Go Bills!
Update: That was one hell of a game, but ultimately I ended up with the Bills losing along with my fantasy team. The Bills played inspired football. Irony of ironies, I drafted J.P. Losman as my bye week QB, looking at this matchup this week as a favorable one for Buffalo. After his poor play, I dropped him. In our league, we actually draft Team QBs, which means we get the backups, too. Thought it wasn’t a high scoring night (1pt), it still beat my choice this week, the Falcons TQB, which netted me a fancy -2. Ugh. Anyway, good luck to the Bills, but we return to our all Eagles, all the time NFL fandom next week.

Football and not baseball? Shocking.

You drafted Terrell Owens? Come on. Some things are more important than fantasy football…and one of them is not signing Terrell Owens.

For what it’s worth, I don’t have a banned list in Fantasy Football, just in Fantasy Baseball (no Yankees).
redhead, once the Phillies got eliminated, I pretty much stopped caring about baseball this year. Yes, I still like the Red Sox, but they’ve always been second.

But it was so much fun watching the Yankees go down in flames. (c:

Fun for one of us. It just goes to show, pitching always trumps hitting. But once football is one, baseball will always be second.
As for football, that was the greatest last minute in football. Possibly better than “The Drive” which I still remember watching at my father’s feet.

I turned off the TV happily when Dallas didn’t convert the 2 point conversion. Imagine my surprise when I woke up and had to hate the Cowboys.

It was seriously insane and insane in a way that, quite frankly, I couldn’t hate the Cowboys for. They. Didn’t. Quit.
