A little bit of everything, colored my own way. |
Ahhh, welcome on a cold winter Sunday. Sundays in the fall and winter are nothing for me but watching football. I wake up, check over my fantasy football roster one last time, get all of the supplies I'll need for the day, and make sure I'm home by the 1pm kickoff to watch my Bills (more about them later). However, that was not the case today. For the first time since the start of the season, I didn't have to think about my fantasy team. Due to a combination of poor drafting, injuries, and players only producing on the field when they're stapled to my bench, team Incredibad finished the regular fantasy season last week a disappointing 6-7, which is good for 7th place and left on the outside looking in for the playoffs. So much for scouting players and matchups during the week, watching injury reports and nervously watching highlights hoping for something good. Now, for the rest of the season, I can just be a casual fan and root for my team rather than a bunch of overpayed adults playing a kids' game. It's this time of year when I wonder why I put myself through all of that and swear next year I won't...til summer rolls around, training camp opens and I get the itch for everything football again. And the Bills? Ahhh, the darlings at the start of the year! Shot out of the gate with a couple of upset and come-from-behind wins over some big teams, they really had us captivated and #Billieving. The cries that "Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!" were back loud and clear. Fitzmagic was for real with his beard and Amish rifle. FredEx was delivering the rock and leading the league in rushing. We finally had a team! And as usual, the injuries pile up, opposing teams catch on, and the inevitable tailspin begins. I don't even know where to begin with this team. I'll never stop being a fan, but when will I get tired of the emotional investment I make year-in and year-out? The "playoffs on life support" had their plug mercifully (and resoundingly) pulled by San Diego...and it seems that nobody circles the drain like the Buffalo Bills. CHRISTMAS MUSICAL BREAK!! Perhaps no other Christmas song serves the dual purpose of providing a little laughter while unknowingly mocking my football season. You definitely won't hear this in stores. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg66j0fUbUk&feature=related VITAL STATS: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ahhh, well, I'll leave it all at that for tonight folks. Thanks for stopping by...and I hope the work and/or school week is pleasant to ya. GOODNIGHT NOW!! |
