One fantasy football team down…

Kevin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:48:07 +0000

…a second one drafted last night. Results from the first league and I’m pretty happy. Solid WR group, great QB’s, a couple possible rookie standouts, with one concern about my #2 RB. If he tanks I could be in for a long year. ... Read more...
