NFL Week 1 Recap

I’m trying to think of a good excuse why I came in LAST in MY fantasy football league – but I have a bag full of nothing other than to say I must spend too much time blogging rather than researching for a decent fantasy squad.  My new goal is not to come in last.  The two guys in first more than doubled my point value.
