Although I'm still in mourning over Leryn not receiving a medal in the javelin, the show must go on.  So, without further ado, here are some recommendations for the upcoming season that will help you win your league (or at least enable you to finish in the money)...

Why should you listen to me?  Well, in the past twenty leagues that I've been in, I've finished in the money fourteen times.  Last year in an eleven team league I had the following roster:  Westbrook, Jones-Drew, Wayne, Colston, Favre, Campbell, Welker, Thomas Jones, Fred Taylor, Anquan Boldin, Cooley, Crosby and Akers.  Despite scoring the 3rd most points, my team ended the season 7-7 and out of the playoffs looking in.  Luck comes into play a lot in fantasy football and sometimes the breaks don't go your way.   If my weekly match ups were slightly different, I likely would have finished in the money once again.  Oh, and if I had Brady, LT, or Moss that would have helped a little too...

Um, I'm Not Sure

Team Obama didn't waste any time getting this ad out there.  Memo to Grandpa John:  1) If you own six or seven homes then I think you can admit that you're rich and 2) If you can't remember how many homes you own then you may not be the best person to lead the country.  I'm just sayin'...
