My Fantasy

No, not that kind of fantasy. Fantasy sports and a couple of observations...

-They play the game in Halves

The Rams showed up at Candlestick yesterday with an offense that had yet to find the end zone and a defense that dominated in Week 1. Both took the field against the 49ers and played pretty much to form in the first half. It was a good half, not a great exhibition but the offense got on track and the Rams owned the clock in controlling the first half of the football game.

Then they forgot to show up for the second half and lose 20-13.

-We want Drew!

With Drew Brees at Quarterback, San Diego TE Antonio Gates has averaged over 10 points a game as a Fantasy keeper. Through two games with Philip Rivers at the helm, he's averaging barely more than half that. And the Chargers have still managed to score nearly 35 points a game through the first two weeks of the season. This could be a long year.

-This is me not caring

And then there's this. I'm claiming a special moratorium when it comes to this sport. Last year I wrote extensively of my woes in trying to follow up on two Fantasy titles in three years. You might have called it a pre-occupation.

Not so this year. I drafted two teams. One I haven't even looked at since May, the other I haven't touched since June nor bothered to even look at in a month.

So you're a regular Jimmy the Greek...a modern sports-prophet! Celebrate if you must, but know that your feeble attempt at stoking the rivalry will not work. Well, sort of.

Baseball is dead to me!
