Fantasy Fools

*This will only interest people who are sports and fantasy fans*

I'm not going to lie, I love my fantasy sports. I'm not a fanatic by any means but i like to think i can hold my own against the Harpingers of Death and Eli's Coming. While my draft has had some disappointments it has had some pleasant surprises. For example, now I have two quarterbacks that practically anyone else would kill to have (Drew Brees and Jay Cutler). My disappointments however are just as substantial (Ryan Grant and Tory Holt), at least Grant can say that he's injured, Holt and Rams just plain suck. I'm not really sure why i just said all of that stuff because that has nothing directly to do with what i wanted to write about. What I wanted to write about was dumb ass reporters and idiots who want people to think that they know all there is to know. What really got on my nerves was people praising the outstanding (and they were outstanding) games Brett Favre and Larry Johnson had. Larry Johnson played against the Denver Broncos, while a very formidable team, a team that nevertheless beats you by outscoring you, not shutting you down. Larry Johnson gained ~200yards on the Broncos is very impressive BUT, it is the broncos. A player of LJ's perceived skill level should be able to do that. Moving on to Mr. Favre, the man had a career high 6 touchdown passes. That too is extremely impressive BUT, once again this was against the Arizona Cardinals which means they were playing against a team that is just below the level of their practice squad.

Up to this week LJ was play like garbage and Favre was mediocre at best. Now all of a sudden, you hear people coming out of the woodwork saying how Brett Favre and LJ are back. The rest of the league needs to watch out and Packer fans must be feeling like idiots for letting Favre go. Both Favre and LJ should be starters on every fantasy team, week in week out. Look, I had Favre on one of my teams, along with Rivers and Brees. Favre, was on the bench and i never once second guess my decision. I would play Rivers before Favre because I know what I'm going to be getting from Rivers and Brees, with Favre it's a crap shoot. To say that these players should become starters because of their performances this week is to weaken the very same argument. Why would you say that a player who has had ONE good game is worthy of starting? Why would you ignore their multiple performance versus formidable opponents and go by the one game they had in which they performed well? You shouldn't. Remember, the exception cannot prove the rule.

P.S. Whoever says Brett Favre passed a major test by beating the Arizona Cardinals is an idiot. Since when have they become a team of any relevance? Stop being stupid you'll make us look bad to the aliens.
