Fantasy Football!!!

Yeah, you knew it had to happen...I like football. Why not indulge in that national passion--Fantasy Football.

My team's called the 'Madden 09 Wannabees', and we had our draft at Bufallo Wild Wings on Todd's road:


View Larger Map

Anywho, Here's the linueup I got (picked #8 in a serpentine draft):

Starters:

  1. RB - Brian Wetbrook - Philly

  2. RB - Willis McGahee - Balt'more

  3. QB - Vince Young - Ten

  4. WR - Larry Fitzgerald - Arizona

  5. WR - Plaxico Burress - NY Giants

  6. TE - Tony Gonzales - Kansas City

  7. RB - Ahman Green - Houston

  8. K - Josh Scobee - Jacksonville

  9. Def - Dallas



Da Bench:

  1. RB - Jamal Lewis - Cleveland

  2. WR - Joey Galloway - Tampa Bay

  3. RB - LenDale Whilte - Tennesee

  4. WR - Jerry Porter - Oakland

  5. QB - Rex Grossman - Chi-town. (yes, yes, I caught alot of ridicule for this one...)

  6. TE - Ben Watson - New England



Went in with a pretty conservative strategy:
- 3 decent running backs, with two backups (or trade fodder)
- 2 good WR's, with 2 alternates.
- 1 backup each for QB & TE.
- A Kicker and a Defense of some sort.

This is a point-per-reception league, which will probably burn me. I was drafted too late to get a real stud running back (Westbrook is #8 on my depth chart). My real regret is not making the obvious pick in the 2nd round to get Peyton Manning instead of a Running Back. PEYTON MANNING!!! Meh, he'll probably have a let-down year. You know, only 25 TD's instead of 31. ::sigh::

The draft itself was very enjoyable; a bit past my bedtime, and I was definitely feeling it. I got pretty cranky towards the end but a nice trip back up the interstate, shifting my rejuvinated transmission perked me up.

Review: The Southeast Christian Church Easter Pageant

Easter Pageant?! What is this, amateur hour? Who cares about some piddly church passion play? What's next, "Best Little Christmas Pageant Ever"? How's this for Piddly: Two professional composers, a 9000 seat auditorium, 75,000 tickets over a month-long run, a 300 person chorous, two IMAX-size video screens. Traditionally, Southeast's Easter Pageant has been the biggest theatrical production in Louisville. They took a year off to retool and rework it, comissioning a rework from the ground up. Whereas the previous iteration had been a "cast of thousands" broadway-style production, they wanted something...different. Hoo-boy, it was different. Let's talk about "theatre" that is 1/2 movie, 1/2 live action. Apparently, they shot it at a quarry during last year's drought, and it looks pretty good. Still, I didn't like it...distracting and interrupts the flow. Likes It's not the same program they've put on for...

Rant On getting smacked down...

Image
So, you live in an organization for 10 years, and you acquire a certain rep. A reputation as a maverick, a guy who's not too wrapped-up in procedure, kowtow'ing, and career. You've said some things in meetings that were career-limiting, but damn it, they were the RIGHT THINGS. Sure, you broke into someones computer once to get their hard drive so you could deliver the code she REFUSED TO CHECK IN before going on vacation. Sure, you telnet'd in to a running test server to see if your hack worked and could save everyone working the weekend (it didn't, you hosed the test run, and you worked round the clock that weekend). Sure, you've slapped your head at stupidity (both in others and your own), and welcome anyone who'll do the same. However, 10 years, several promotions, two kids, a mortgage, and a car payment tend to make you forget who you are. For one sparkling moment this morning, you remembered. You asked an innocent email question last night to a te...

"Spiderman 3"...WHY?!

Spiderman 3 is a boring mess. The story is a mishmash of plotlines, centering around the three (yes, THREE) villains -- Goblin Jr., Sandman, and Venom. Overlong, the film languishes in its many plots, opening with Spidey wounding his friend Harry Osborne, now the reborn Green Goblin, then sauntering to the Sandman, and the Venom super-spidey suit. There's no discernible momentum until Mary Jane calls it quits with Peter, who's been quite an ass, though she herself has been a needy baggage for 4 reels. In any case, this sets off a battle between Harry and Peter, and FINALLY some action. Had the movie begun here and run for a tight 85 minutes, cutting out the Sandman character altogether, it would've been awesome. As it stands, this bloated ($300 million) mess has probably killed its franchise. * * * Also, I need to remind myself that I get sick if I eat too much popcorn.
