So, you may remember back in September, I decided to not watch TV on Sundays. I joked about how as a “reward”, God should let me win my fantasy football league.

Now, with the season nearly over, I thought I would report. I did not watch TV football on Sundays, though I did watch parts of maybe 3-4 Sunday night games on the Internet. I also watched the last 5 minutes or so of the Browns Bills game a few weeks ago, justified by the fact that I “got to” watch it because I went to 5 hours of church that day 🙂

And yes, I did win my fantasy football championship (the Super Bowl was last Sunday in Week 16). I agonized going in as to who to start, at RB particularly. My 2 starters for most of the season had been Joseph Addai and Brandon Jacobs (since Travis Henry started sucking and Larry Johnson was ineffective / injured). Jacobs hadn’t done that great the past few weeks and Fred Taylor had gone nuts, so I decided to start Taylor against Oakland (worst rushing defense in the NFL). With the Colts having clinched their seed, I was worried how much Addai would play so I decided to start Jacobs over Addai.

Then I watched Addai score a 1st quarter touchdown. And Aaron Stecker (also on my bench) score 2 early touchdowns (taking them away from my quarterback Drew Brees who also plays for Stecker’s Saints). Oh and Kevin Curtis (WR on my bench) recovered a fumble in the endzone for 6 points.

In the end though, it didn’t really matter. Jacobs came back with 143 yards and 2 TDs and Taylor had 111 and a score, but I could have started anyone and still won as my opponent came through with the worst performance of any time of the entire year. I won 100.53 to 41.38 for my 2nd Super Bowl win in 3 years.

I know nobody cares but hey, since this is my journal, I’m sure my great-grandchildren who are playing some sort of bionic fantasy football through their earpiece brain implants will want to know how life was back in the DAY.
