I’ve always been a fan of lists, tables or anything that puts things in numeric or alphabetical order.  Blame it on my small case of OCD, but these things always seem to make their way into my everyday life.  In fact, today’s update was on my list of things to do while hanging out at Starbucks at UConn in Storrs, Connecticut.  Other things on this daily list?

  1. Walk Rossi
  2. Make coffee
  3. Eat breakfast
  4. Organize paperwork
  5. Read articles/blogs/news

The fifth thing on the list is definitely one of the most important.  It’s strange because growing up, I really despised reading.  I blame it on the fact that I was forced to read entire series of books in elementary and middle school. God forbid we only read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, nope it had to be the ENTIRE series. But, I digress. The point I was trying to make was that, now as a “grown up” I find a lot of joy in reading a lot every single day.  Perhaps it has to do with my growing thirst for knowledge and the fact that the majority of the things I read are related to football at the collegiate and professional level.  My friends tell me all the time to broaden my horizons but it seems like the football world always has so many things going on.

I promise to try to expand my sports interests soon….but for now, football is my main focus.

One of the more interesting things I read recently was a post by Tim Graham called:

The Big Question: Three Playoff Teams?

Graham briefly but rather accurately, discussed the major debate as to who will dominate the ever so competitive AFC East.  He also describes the very small possibility that the AFC East will produce three equally dominate playoff teams (Sorry Buffalo, maybe at some point we’ll consider you a threat).  We’re all familiar as to why this would come up as an issue.  The Jets have managed to sign every big name imaginable during this off season and to be honest, the Dolphins aren’t doing too bad either.  Last season, the Jets found success all the way to the AFC Championship Game…and the Patriots were embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens at home (ouch.)

I like Graham’s points, especially that the Patriots have the 6th most difficult schedule in the league.  Whereas the Dolphins, Bills …

Wow, so talk about a crazy response to the prior post. It was good to see that people didn’t see me as a freak of nature for being that obsessed with sports. So it’s a whole new week and whole new set of things that have puzzled me to say the least. Here’s round 2:

How freakin’ awesome my fantasy team is doing
Ok, I’m really not one to brag but ARE YOU FOR REAL?!?! I am on a 12 win steak ( would’ve been 13 but I didn’t count the first week) with 1,155 total points so far. To be honest, I really don’t know why. Here’s my depth chart:

QB: Tony Romo, Chad Pennington
WR: Eddie Royal, Steve Smith, Greg Jennings, Kevin Walter (wtf? yeah I know)
RB: Michael Turner, Frank Gore, Marion Barber
TE: Jason Witten, Bo Scaife
K: Mason Crosby, Phil Dawson
DEF: Pittsburgh, Philadelphia

I’m seriously wondering how I’ve made it this far with having 2 weeks of Romo being injured and having a Houston Texan as one of my wide receivers. There are some pretty legitimate competition in my league, but ironically, my little brother is 4-8 and told him that he was ruining the family name. haha. I don’t think it’s luck because on Romo’s 2 week vacation, I picked up Kyle Orton and he decided that he was going to be a legitimate QB and did well. Who knows, maybe I’m actually pretty decent at this thing. If only I can get my NCAA Tournament bracket to look this sexxy, maybe I can get more free burgers and fries at City Burger.

The Hot Mess known as the BCS
Fact: I am a die hard anything-Texas fan. Fact: That being said, I hate OU. Fact: I still think that the BCS has a place in college football. WHAT?!?! Yup, that’s right folks, I still feel like there is a legitimate purpose for the BCS system in college football. I have had this argument with everyone from my siblings, to random people at bars, to older men who I’ve had to sit next to on a plane for a 4 hour flight to Texas. Look people, I’m not going to make any arguments you haven’t heard of before: There are just way too many good teams in way too many conferences to really have a playoff process in place. Plus the BCS is …
