Month: September 2005

I’m really trying to overcome my obsession with FF, but it’s difficult. My Staubach Attack is 2-0, and I’m not sure I’ve ever had a 2-0 start in my 5 years with the Harmony Fantasy League (HFL). I have been trying to make a conscious effort to sit back and enjoy the season instead of stressing over every roster move and waiver wire prospect. I think I’m getting better, except for the first week when I basically gave away two good RB prospects in Willie Parker and Thomas Jones.
My instincts were good when I picked up Parker the week before, but I got too concerned about improving my Tight End that I dropped him too soon. I might regret this move for awhile, although my reasoning was that when Staley and Bettis are healthy, that they will have to play, I mean Cowher isn’t going to refrain from playing them at all. But, you never know. As far as Thomas Jones goes, again I jumped the gun thinking that Jones would lose his job eventually to Cedric Benson (I still believe that), that I traded him to a running back starved team for Lee Evans who I was encouraged by after seeing that JP Losman might actually have a clue this year. Initially, this trade looks horrible, but by season’s end my instincts might prove to be right. One can only hope.

I’ve really fallen down on my own personal blog here. I’ve been so swamped with church related stuff as the summer winds down, that I just haven’t had many opportunities. Anyway, the class reunion was a blast! It was a time warp, and it amazes me how quick you can pick up where you left off. I also find it astounding at the high percentage of ministers, paid and unpaid alike, that came out of that graduating class! Our class was only 20 something, but there were at least 4 or 5 of us who chose the ministry profession. I guess my parent’s investment paid off in some ways.
