I'll Be the Chick with the Two Black Eyes
I fell asleep next to Mr. Husband, but when I woke up, I realized I had gone to bed with The Devil.
Tom Brady.
Just typing that name gives me the shakes. Not the Oooooh, He's So Cute! Shakes, but rather the I Don't Have Enough Sporks to Dull the Pain! Shakes. Right now, I hate myself.
A lot.
Yes, I drafted Tom Brady in one of my fantasy football leagues. I don't know what came over me when that moment of insanity seared through my blood, but this morning it hit me: I suck. Hard. I am now going to spend football season alternating between wishing for Brady to be crushed under a bloody pool of humanity and squeeing after he throws a touchdown.
I might have to punch myself in the face for squeeing after a touchdown. True story.
So, here's the plan: The Patriots are going to have this amazing high-scoring offense this year, but their defense is going to suck harder than a Dyson.
Shoosh. It could totally go down like that.

Football season already, eh? Umm-hmm . . . So, Alexis looks like she's got a bit of 'tude going on with that walk there!
I know nothing about fantasy football, and if possible, even less about actual football, so I am not sure what to say about Tom Brady. I am, however, aware of who his wife is . . . she needs to eat a sandwich and wipe that smug "I'm better than you" look from her face. Maybe someone will curse her with an epidural that doesn't work when Tom Jr. enters the world.
All I see here in this post is blah blah blah Tom Brady blah blah blah pretty picture. I will just have to sleep through your fantasy football posts... Wait... here I go... zzzzzzzzzzzz
I know the feeling. I set up my hockey draft 2 seasons ago to pick Crosby. I had first pick, it was all set and OH NO! I had Crosby in the "do not draft" list instead of the draft list! With the first pick in the draft I picked... OVECHKIN. It worked out in the end, though, because Crosby missed half the season with that ankle injury. And I won the league. Now the boys don't let me play in their hockey league anymore...
You did get a decent 3rd QB, right? Chicken Legs Brady might be broken again soon.
Last year I got to join a fantasy football league with hubbys work, in order to make it even. I had lst pick of everyone, wound up second place overall. Its not first, but I took it. Now this year, the boys won't let me play. Booo! Good luck with your team. As long as your scoring doesn't interfere with the Steelers, it's all Good.
That was LAST pick, not lst. Just to clarify. :-)
to lighten the blow of that love/extreme hate fantasy pick - that picture is beyond adorable :)
I love fantasy sports, but I live by the rule that real life always trumps fantasy sports. I will never root for my enemies. Never. If I am forced to draft them then I will take the approach that my rooting cannot change anything. I just have to accept what happens. It is better not to draft people you hate though.
I am GLARING AT YOU from across 1500 miles away, young lady! Just because the Steelers can only win with Brady out... ;)
Yeah. I WANT to understand, but 1) I'm new to fantasy football and 2) I hate ALL Boston teams especially and including the Pats.
So... shame on you. LOL.
My husband loves Fantasy Football. I don't know if he's drafted his team or not yet. I should ask. But what do I know or care, I am, after all, a Detroit Lions fan.
I hope you're a scrapbooker because you have tons of pics that would look pretty bad ass in a scrapbook. Just sayin'.
I don't get Fantasy Football. Doesn't that mean you have to watch a whole lot of games that you normally wouldn't care about?!
I think I told you that Tom Brady reminds me of my arch nemesis in elementary school, so I can hardly look at the screen when the guy is on!
@Beth--I have an empty scrapbook that I've never started because I don't ever print photos. Like, ever. Whoops!
fantasy football!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to read this out loud to FireDad. At which point he said, "Darn* Patriots. And shame on her!"
* = he didn't say darn.
That is a gorgeous picture. I love this one.
I don't like to use the word hate....but I do hate Tom Brady. Hated him since his days at Michigan. When Scott drafted Tome Brady as his first pick in the fantasy draft last year I had some choice words that cannot be typed here. At least I had double satisfaction when Tom Brady's season ended early...told Scott that's what you deserve for picking Brady.
@Jennifer--This year we neeeeeeed it to play out differently. The future of my pride is at stake, as I must beat a few people in the league. Namely, the Jims.
