I Don't Care If You Hurt Me Some More, I Don't Care If You Even the Score

(The Cars, You're All I've Got Tonight)

I'm up doing a little work tonight, and taking a little break to nurse an upset stomach, so I figured I'd check in with my loyal readership. Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

I had my second of three fantasy football drafts tonight, and it struck me that I should probably update everybody out there on who I drafted. I'm not sure why, it just seems like the right thing to do. And since I never posted my team from the first draft, I'll go ahead and list them both now, and probably update the third team sometime after it is drafted. We'll call tonight's draft "Team Two" and the draft from two weeks ago "Team One." Clever, I know.

Team One: (starters in bold)
QB Tomy Romo (DAL)
RB Steven Jackson (STL)
RB Maurice Jones-Drew (JAX)
WR Santonio Holmes (PIT)
WR Roy Williams (DET) (hookem)
WR Wes Welker (NE)
K Nate Kaeding (SD)
DEF Indianapolis Colts
RB Matt Forte (CHI)
RB Jonathan Stewart (CAR)
WR Anthony Gonzalez (IND)
QB Matt Ryan (ATL)
WR Donald Driver (GB)
TE Alge Crumpler (TEN)
WR DJ Hackett (CAR)
RB Mike Hart (IND)





Team Two: (starters in bold)
QB Tom Brady (NE)
RB Maurice Jones-Drew (JAX)
RB Matt Forte (CHI)
WR Calvin Johnson (DET)
WR Santonio Holmes (PIT)
WR Anquan Boldin (ARI)
TE Owen Daniels (HOU)
K Phil Dawson (CLE) (hookem)
DEF Jacksonville Jaguars
QB Matt Ryan (ATL)
RB Ricky Williams (MIA) (hookem)
RB DeAngelo Williams (CAR)
WR DJ Hackett (CAR)
WR Kevin Walter (HOU)

One thing I notice is that there are a few similarities between the two teams, notably MoJo Drew, Santonio Holmes, Matt Ryan and DJ Hackett. Another thing I notice is that for some of my players on team one, I also have their counterpart on team two, such as Stewart and Williams (RBs for Carolina), and Johnson and Williams (WRs for Detroit). Hopefully that won't come back to haunt me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try not to be sick.
