missio

My precious Eagles are still in the hunt for the playoffs. We’re currently sitting on the last spot for the NFC playoffs, with the final wild card, right behind the NY Giants, who we play next week. It shall be interesting. If we lose, we get another shot by playing Atlanta in the game-ender. Defense needs to sharpen up, and as long as Garcia keeps playing mistake-free football, we’re good.

By the way, I’m mutilating all-comers in fantasy football. It’s almost ridiculous. My team?

• Carson Palmer
• LaDainian Tomlinson
• Steven Jackson
• Brian Westbrook
• Marvin Harrison
• Donte Stallworth
• L.J. Smith
• Robbie Gould
• Packers DEF

My Bench:

• Brett Favre
• David Garrard
• Maurice Jones-Drew (should’ve started him this past week)
• Darrell Jackson
• Torry Holt
• Desmond Clark

It’s really not even fair. There are weeks when my bench beats many teams in the league. I only had the fourth pick in the draft (picked LT, of course, it was a no-brainer for me). It’s an eight team league. I’m out in front at 11-2 with over 1600 points. Next in line? 9-4 with over 1400. I should retire.

I’m ahead still, at 8-2. This past week I scored 150 points, and my bench scored 104. My bench would’ve beat everyone in the league except a 2-7 team who beat the second place team. Plus, like my friend Tadd pointed out, the Eagles won and Giants lost. Good week in football.

And in other football news, the Beckham rule was approved, so look at some superstar soccer players coming to the States! Ronaldoooooo!!!

Well, sort of. My beloved Eagles didn’t play this past weekend (they were on a much needed bye), so we will talk about another football team this week: DC United. They played OK against the New England Revolution in the MLS Cup conference championship yesterday, but they still lost 1-0. It just seems that this year isn’t my year for my sports teams. Instead of the Madden curse, it’s the Derek curse. Maybe I should start pulling for the New York Giants…..

There’s always next week, when the Eagles take on the ‘Skins. Go birds!
