It's that time of year again. Fantasy football time! This is my fourth year in a Yahoo! league with the same core group of guys. I had a strong first year, a sophomore slump, won it all, and just barely limped into the playoffs last year.

Owen's getting his first taste of team sports through a Saturday morning YMCA program. The program is teaching kids the basics of sports, started with soccer fundamentals, and the kids are now playing t-ball.

It looks like I have a good team, but they got off to a bad start. I'm down by 11 points and my opponent has Peyton Manning and Plaxico Burress left to play—stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Mr. Parker may be "Fast Willy" but Hop-a-long Heath showed that he's got wheels too!

It wasn't pretty, but a dub-ya's a dub-ya (insert political wise cracks here). After hearing about Big Ben's emergency apendectomy earlier this week, I was a bit worried about the Steelers chances against the Dolphins. Charlie Batch got off to a slow start but did a pretty good job of protecting the ball, with that one glaring exception at the goal line.

I probably shouldn't be writing this for fear of putting a jinx on the great start to the Detroit Tigers season, but what the hell.
