(Hat tip: Awful Announcing)Ya know, I don't expect everyone to dig fantasy football. Yeah, people look at you like you're a loser when you are reading fantasy football magazines and talking aloud about your draft sleepers. I get that. Just keep going on feeling superior.
Then there are those "experts" that try their hand at fantasy football and just don't get it.
Take ESPN's Chris Mortensen and his ESPN.com's Celebrity Fantasy League. He had Brian Westbrook fall into his lap in Round 1 ... then went with Darren McFadden in Round 2??? Right before Peyton Manning? He then reaches for Calvin Johnson in Round 4 ... and Devin Hester in Round 7.
Oh ... and surprise ... he takes Brett Favre in the 9th round. He must love the Browns since he picked Derek Anderson, Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow.
This isn't to say his fantasy team sucks. He does have Westbrook, Edwards, Anderson, Winslow, Minnesota's defense and Ron Bironas. He also got good sleeper values with Felix Jones and Ricky Williams. After all, this is a league with Nick Bakay (big time fantasy nut), Method Man, Summer Sanders and Roy Williams (who picked himself).
By the way, looking at these rosters it seems as if Bakay and Williams has the league wrapped up. How the hell does Bakay have both Steven Jackson and Joseph Addai??? He also boasts Carson Palmer, Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin, Wes Welker, Chris Cooley and the Patriots defense (it isn't that great, but they have an easy schedule).
As for Roy Williams ... geez! Tom Brady, Terrell Owens, Marion Barber, Willis McGahee, himself, Marques Colston, Steve Smith, Laurence Maroney, Edgerrin James, Fred Taylor, Marc Bulger and Jeremy Shockey.
As Awful Announcing points out, Williams picked right after Mort.
