OK – I admit it. Despite my pre-league jitters in having never played fantasy football, I am psyched and excited for today’s matchup against my boss, Rob Bridges and his El Pollo Diablo team. On paper projection from ESPN.com, I am favored by 19. Rob was talking some major smack on friday morning at work – letting me know he was going to let me win just like he lets his 5 year old win at checkers. Ouch! That has some sting in it!
We shall see who claims victory by monday night’s end…
UPDATE: At the end of the 2nd quarter of the sunday afternoon games, I am up 70-56. Ricky Williams huge disappointment w/ 3 points. Jay Pennington big surprise w/ 21 points on my bench to Hasselback’s 11. Bucs hold for 14 pts on D. Frank Gore is tearing it up in the 1st half. Already w/ 16 pts. This is fun.
Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
