I Suck At Fantasy Football

it's official... i suck at fantasy football.

this year, my friends had finally gotten me to participate in their fantasy football league. up until this year, i had vowed against joining their league. for the most part, i was correct in adamantly refusing to partake in the league because i had heard many complaints and whatnot from friends who were in the league. the league was supposed to bring friends together... and from what i had heard, the fantasy football league was not exactly doing a particularly good job of it.

this year, however, has been a pleasant surprise. it has only been one month into the league and i have yet to hear any complaints. everything actually is going well in the fantasy football league. the only problem is... my fantasy football team absolutely sucks. i am second to last in the standings... and i basically scored the lowest point total this week.

granted, i was not really around to draft any players for my team. plus, if you think about it, all expansion teams suck the first year. so maybe it's normal.

i am wondering if my friend (anna) is simply a jinx. i had named my fantasy team in honor of anna for no reason other than her name, mixed with some other words, sounded cool. plus, anna's birthday is on christmas. you would think that someone being born on arguably one of the best days of the year would make her somewhat lucky, right? well... apparently not so much this year.

perhaps i should name my team after someone else... like: hot amy's young'uns... angela's new kids... aimee's cure (although that sounds more like a drug than a team)... kerry's nothing-good-comes-out-of-rhode-island team... i don't know. the possibilities for names are endless. it's a good thing i have a lot of names to go through.

i think i'm just looking for my luck to turn around. for anyone curious, things haven't exactly been the greatest of late... and i'm not just referring to fantasy football. so hopefully, some luck will come my way soon. i can only hope.
