I now know how Scott Norwood feels.
I now know what the Buffalo Bills and Scott Norwood feel like. Missing out on your dreams by the slimmest of margins.
They have wide right.
I have .05 points. Yes, that’s five one hundredths of a point.
I have never won a fantasy football championship.
I could be considered the biggest fantasy football bridesmaid of all time.
A half a dozen trips to the big show and I have nothing to show for it. But, this one hurt more than all the others combined.
I was playing my biggest rival. Good versus Evil. Darth versus Luke.
Against the man who had the audacity to pour a beer on me at a bachelor party.
Not spill, literally pour.
I was trying to rid tyranny from the Earth! I wanted revenge!

It’s maddening. It causes you elation one minute and devastation the next. Its

CJ28, which is my pet name for him, is my fantasy football man crush.
America’s other pastime, fantasy football.
Perhaps Doctor Drew will have a reality show based on this addiction.
I should send in my video now.
I have been playing fantasy football for over 14 years, back to the days when there was no social media or rotoworld.
We used magazines to gather intel to draft players and the commish would calculate scores by reading the box scores in the newspaper.
Technology has drastically changed the FF landscape.
Now if the live scoring isn’t updated in seconds, I get frustrated!
My fantasy football “career” can be summed up as follows, “I am the Fantasy Football version of the Buffalo Bills of the 1990’s.”
I can make it to the big game, but I just can’t win it.
I may be cursed.

Sammy Morris will look to get the running game started for the Patriots.
Overview: Before the season began, many looked at this matchup between the Titans and Patriots as a possible preview of the AFC Championship game. The Patriots are still in contention, but the Titans have been the biggest disappointment in the NFL as they enter this contest with a 0-5 record.
Last Week: The Patriots struggled in the second half against the Denver Broncos and lost in overtime without ever having the offense get on the field. Tom Brady was only 5-of-14 in the second half as the Patriots were held scoreless.
The Titans lost 31-9 to Indianapolis and struggled on both sides of the ball. They gained only 245 yards while surrendering 367 yards and 31 points.
All-Time Series: The Patriots hold a 21-16-1 all-time series advantage. New England has won four of the last five games in the series, including a 40-23 victory over the Titans during the final week of the 2006 season.
