The Syndicate

Last night's game was closer than it seemed. Had Pittsburgh made those two field goals and the Patriots not started out with such prime field position, who knows? Then again, Pittsburgh's D was really sloppy. They're in for a long season if they don't straighten things out.

Brady looked so pissed off most of the game. Between that and all the coverage of these scandals, it seems like the league and/or the media is trying to craft the Patriots as the league's villain. It kind of reminds me of the 1986 "Duel in the Desert" NCAA football championship between Miami and Penn State. Miami was this powerful, intimidating team that carried themselves with what appeared to be arrogance and swagger. Penn State was played up to be a virtuous, humble group of kids. Seems like New England is being fashioned by some to be akin to that '86 Hurricanes team.

Most matches are held on Sundays, with a couple on Monday night and sometimes one additional one on Saturday. This week is special in that one match is held tonight.

So get your rosters ready.

Actually they've got Thursday night games almost all season long. I'm glad I don't do regular fantasy football anymore because these Thursday games probably force you to make your rosters changes much quicker.



Rooster fight? I believe the traditional term is cock fight, which reminds me of a Kings of Leon song/video from before they were Top 40 darlings:

I used to do fantasy football back in the day. Not enough time to keep up with individual players. Maybe next year I'll jump in. I'll be too busy with the baby mid-season this year.

I'm trying to run a simplified fantasy football game myself here. If I don't get at least 8 people to sign up though, I'll scrap it and try again next year.
