I went into Monday night down by 9 points, and by the time I tuned into Dallas vs Philly, the score was 21-20. I figured that Marion Barber had to have scored one of the TD's.
I was wrong. In fact, most of the scoring was by passing, and he didn't have hardly any rushing yards. But by halftime, he had caught a few passes, one for a TD, so I knew it was sewn up, and my record for the season is 1-1.
I have battled with yahoo for stat tracker, so I can't track during the day how scoring is going, so I mostly have to calculate in my head. So I knew Philip Rivers was doing okay. I picked him up to replace Tom Brady, so yay for me.
Larry Fitzgerald had a good yardage day, but no TD's. The Rams got a few fieldgoals, so my kicker covered. And so on, and so on.
I'm excited for the season, I have a pretty well balanced team, spread amongst the divisions, so when bye weeks occur, I should be in good shape.
In my Nascar league, I lost again. Jimmy Johnson finished second, and Jamie MacMurray finished 35th. So I lost by 30. The team I played against had both guys finish average, but he finished so far behind, I was screwed.
It was still a good week.
