there's no need to fear
everyone loves an underdog story. how else could they be making yet another rocky movie? i don't think it can be any good unless they bring back mr. T. him and his tri-hawk and showing pity to fools, what a nice guy. did you know, mr. T got his PHD? well at least that is what it looked like when i was surfing through channels the other day and some show on lifetime was called dr. T and the women. mr. T was always a ladies man, but now he is a man the ladies can take home to their mothers. but forget the fact i stopped on the lifetime channel long enough to know the name of the program, this is an underdog story.
this is a story about fantasy football. a game made so that sports fans dissatisfied with their home team's performance still have a reason to watch the game. perhaps the most important thing in creating your fantasy team is in the name. i named my team underdog is here! because everyone loves to pull for the underdog. and the story of the season thus far has matched the title i gave my team.
early season looked good for my team, led by donovan mcnabb, who was putting up MVPesque numbers. he led me to one of the biggest victories in our office fantasy league, the defeat of the only undefeated team remaining in the 10th week of play. but then like all good underdog stories, the hero fell. donovan mcnabb suffered a season ending injury, crippling the underdog's chances of getting into the playoffs.
fortunately, there is another twist to this story. while watching a monday night cowboys game, i decided to pick up pretty boy QB tony romo after bill parcells benched drew bledsoe. this sly move saved my team. as romo has had the best QB passer rating since that game and has more than replaced mcnabb in my QB roster slot. it was even rumored that he began dating jessica simpson. so he is more ladies man than mr. T perhaps even dr. T. and he carried my team into the fantasy football playoffs, which begin this weekend. stay tuned.
underdog is here!
