Well my quarterback dilemma has been resolved after a close call. I let Roethlesberger stay with Karin; a move I’m sure I’ll regret by 3 p.m. today. And, like a fool, I put my hope into Tennessee Titans duo Vince Young at QB and Kenny Britt.
If nothing else Fantasy Football is a good weekly reminder of why I should never become a professional gambler. I’ve got junkie genes and I’m always willing to throw caution to the wind on a wing and a prayer.
Santa might have been to all the children of the world. But the Titans only got coal; well along with certain elimination from the AFC playoffs; after the San Diego Chargers handed their asses to them in a 42-17 good, ole fashion ass-whuppin.
It’s a shame too, because although the Titans started out this season at like 0-6; they stepped up, placed Young in as QB and were beginning to look like serious contenders (the Ross Perot Syndrome..Ho, ho, ho). America does, after all, like an underdog; but ultimately failed to deliver. But just like that squirmy, little ferret Perot, the Titans pulled the wool over our eyes. They sold us on their comeback dream – and then left us busted, flat and cheerless, not unlike common whores.
Collectively, I scored 8 fantasy points between Young and Britt before begging our Commish for a re-start. The eight points were wiped from the slate, and now, instead, I’ll be starting Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree, of the 49ers, as QB and wide receiver
In the grand scheme of things, Tennessee’s elimination from the playoffs will be the first of around four crucial AFC games that will be going down today; where wild card teams are struggling upstream like salmon, to try to make it to the promised land. These match-ups include the Steelers and Ravens; the Jets against the still undefeated Colts; Houston Texans against the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots against the Jacsonville Jaguars.
Let the chips fall where they may. Heads are gonna roll in the AFC today….more later….
