i have to point this out for all you fantasy footballers out there. i’m certainly not a fantasy football expert, i’ve only been playing for 4 or 5 years now, but i’ve cashed every year i’ve played (that’s gotta stand for something). the leagues i played in were ran by a true expert, james from the fantasyfootballblog.net, who has played and plays it all kinds of ways. anyhow, those particular leagues determined a winner off total points earned at the end of the season. there were no head to head matchups or playoffs. i for one prefer that style over the head to head matchups… and not because i’m losing. in fact, so far, i’m 1-0 in both my leagues this year which are head to head format. i just gotta say that while watching and tracking football this past weekend i didn’t care as much about all the games. just my guys games and my opponents players games. that kinda sux… this year i don’t care as much if plaxico puts up 6 td’s a game so long as i’m not matched up against him this week. also… i feel the luck factor becomes a bigger piece of the game. for example… if several of my players are matched up horribly (in real life nfl games) and my fantasy football opponent’s players have great matchups… what am i to do… i can only substitute so much to peak out my projected point earnings… and i can’t prepare my draft for a schedule (against the other fantasy football teams) unless i have an idea of who they’re going to have and when i play them. maybe that’s where a keeper league would be better suited for head to head matchups in fantasy football.

sorry for the rant.. i was just going to email this to james, at fantasyfootballblog.net, and figured i’d share it with all you who might feel the same way… or think i’m just dumb… either way maybe james will take a poll and see what most fantasy football coaches prefer… my vote… total points over head to head.

the san diego surf is still up… and i miss it! i was out there back in late june and wanted to post this earlier but you know how lazy a blogger i am… what can i say. anyhow… for anybody that found this article who is looking for some surfing lessons in san diego… i’ve got a recommendation for you!

chris olivas… a great guy, great surfer and a great surfing instructor. his contact info: http://www.chrisolivassurf.com/

one of these days i hope to indulge in one of these surf trips… which can include some amazing deep sea fishing & scuba diving… if you like the water as much as i do these trips look like the perfect excuse to cut loose from the rest of the world for a few days 🙂

there is still plenty o summer left… so take some surf lessons in san diego (if you’re not in san diego this time of year… get there!)

it’s almost that time of year… when those who cannot do… own fantasy football teams!! 🙂

james runs a great fantasy football blog over at… where else… fantasyfootballblog.net. he and a few other commissioners and team owners keep it pretty well updated with all kinds of fantasy football news. you’ll find NFL fantasy football articles about every subject in the fantasy football spectrum.

i’ve already got catch up on my reading… becaue i see that the fantasy football blog is already running a couple of interesting articles… stuff that espn and espn2 and fox sports have yet to start discussing.

fantasy football draft day is right around the corner and i can say from last years experience… draft day is THE most important day of the season… unless you’ve got a bunch of traders in your league… sometimes you stick with what you pick til the end… because it’s better than the battered up free agents… and a week too late streakers.

so… if you wanna win… get the latest fantasy football news from the fantasy football blog!
