Fantasy Football Woes

My friend invited me to participate in his Fantasy League this year. Surprisingly, this is my first time participating. I was a little stressed because the whole draft happened during my family's "big" move. So, I was down on internet for a while and wasn't really able to manage my team to the best of my ability. Needless to say, I ended up with some pretty good players... THEN EVERYTHING WENT DOWN HILL.

My starting QB, who by the way WAS Peyton Manning, is out!! Peyton out? What? He has started EVERY game in his career and the year he ends up on my fantasy team, he wants to be out. Okay, so that means I'm on the search for another QB seeing that my back up was Matt Cassel or Kassel or Castle. So needless to say, I went on a mad hunt for some free agents. Cam Newton had a stellar performance in his debut lost...and then he gets hurt! I had a pretty decent receiving core and then Mario Manningham, Desean Jackson, and Calvin Johnson got injured. Then there's the running backs. I picked up Arian Foster in the draft and he wants to go and injure his hamstring! One of the best running backs last season is injured. Great! Just great! Alright cool. You can't go wrong with the kicker right? Wrong! My kicker then gets hurt and I have to go on a mad hunt for a new one. Alright, so that's taken care of! Oh yeah, how could I forget about the defense. I started out with the Mighty Steelers defense which should have been smooth sailing right? Wrong again! They decide to get blasted in their opener against the Ravens!!

Just how can this be!? The most disheartening thing is that I don't have a terrible team! I have decent players! I strongly believe that all these players are getting injured because of this lock out. The players aren't ready for all of this! I hope they think about this next off season because I can not deal with this for another year!

Breaking News: NFL hires first female coach....well, sort of

I have received  this link  from numerous friends and cohorts, with all of the well meaning intentions possible. You see, I am currently a doctoral student in sport management at THE GREATEST UNIVERSITY, with a focus on uncovering why there is such a severe lack of underrepresentation of Black women in athletic administration. While my particular focus is on women of color, mainly due to the fact that there is a lack of research on this population, I am always excited to hear about women in general that are 'moving the needle'. Over the summer I was excited to hear about Jen Welter  being hired by the Arizona Cardinals.  A woman on the sidelines?  Working with linebackers? WHOA! And then...I actually read the article.  Coach Welter was only hired on a temporary basis. She was an intern during preseason and training camp. As is also the case with Coach Kathryn Smith, who was hired in as the Quality Control-Special Teams Coach (QCC). I must admit, that even...

Hit Felt Around The World

It reigned in the number one spot on SportsCenter for over 40 weeks. It hurt Wolverines to the core every time it was replayed. It solidified Clowney as a top draft pick. It is The Hit. I watched this game and The Hit was nothing short of amazing. The way Clowney hit Vincent Smith, the way he scooped up the ball with one hand and then attempted to run it back for a TD.  I'm still amazed that Vincent Smith was able to get up after that.  Personally, I thought I he was dead. Not even joking!
