Fantasy football!

Next verse, same as the first...Monkey Knife Fight continues to battle, consistently scoring well relative to the league, with balanced scoring up and down the line-up, but not well enough to overcome the week's opponent. This time, MKF falls 143 - 121 to the Sunrise Stingers. We grow tired of this nonsense.

Meanwhile, Rodent Passion continues to delight and amaze, staying unbeaten with a solid (if unspectacular) 92 - 61 triumph over Corporeal Punishment. The lesson for this week is the necessity of prudence to organize and discipline the passions, in order to achieve one's goals. Keys to this week's victory again included Deion Branch, acquired via trade before the season as part of a deal in which RP relinquished the rights to Rudi Johnson. Now, good Rudi has been a mainstay in the RP line-up for 2 years. He'd been, perhaps, the single most reliable member of the squad. But in fantasy football, one cannot grow attached to one's players at the expense of improving the team for the near- and long-term. A second key was the late addition to the starting line-up of Sammy Morris, starting for New England in place of the injured Laurence Maroney. In a move demonstrating uncommon fore-sight (for this fantasy footballer, anyway), I'd picked up Mr. Morris a few weeks back, anticipating just such a possibility.
