Fantasy freaks... the Dread Pirate Roberts looked like Westley facing down Prince Humperdinck... with barely enough strength to eke out a 65-63 triumph over Ashleigh's Angels. Thank goodness Reggie Wayne didn't completely go off against Arizona-- and I thusly rewarded Pierre Garcon for stepping up by adding him to the DP roster. This week I face the Sterling Seahorses... hopefully I won't begin a land war in Asia.
Elsewhere on the gridiron--
Does it bother anyone that Matt Millen-after napalming the Lions with massive mismanagement- is gainfully employed by ESPN? He's given money for his analysis on a sport he brought shame to. He took a team that went 9-7 in 2000 (missing the playoffs thanks to a field goal in the final game of the regular season)-- one that had made the playoffs six times in the previous decade... and turned it into an absolute abomination. This ranks up there with Isaiah Thomas bankrupting the CBA... Gary Bettman making the NHL irrelevant and Ted McGinley making Happy Days completely unwatchable.
The commissioner has been rather handy with suspensions for players who smear the game (Adam Jones, Michael Vick)...what about those ruin the game in other ways?
Solution: Millen can't draw a paycheck for anything football related for one year. Twelve months to think about why drafting 15 wide receivers over four years might not be a good idea. 365 days to ruminate coaching moves--as well as going on sports radio to disparage one of his players.
How should he pass the time? Millen should be held in a colonial-era style stocks at each stadium throughout the course of the year (with prime time and Thursday games this can still be done) where he's met with ridicule. Pregame shows could do a segment around him... and Lions fans would scoop up extra tickets in other cities to give Millen a piece of their mind.
