(Talking about your fantasy team is annoying by rule. Feel free to ignore this post.)
What’s the opposite of guru? Idiot? Stupid idiot? Opposite guru? Unguru? Because I have no great wisdom, knowledge or authority when it comes to fantasy football. I traded Ryan Grant when I knew he was injured and I traded Anquan Boldin because I hate Kurt Warner. Who did I get in return? Chester Taylor and Matt Hasselbeck. Taylor is long gone. Hasselbeck has played a total of two games for me. Yet, somehow I was in position for the playoffs. All I had to do was win my remaining three games.
After Sunday’s game I need 33 points from Marshawn Lynch (my #2 pick) to win it for me. Result? 31. He gave it a good shot and probably should have gotten there for me (you have no idea how much I hate QB sneaks), but he didn’t. I lost my game by like 1.5 points. This is why I am the fantasy unguru because of my aforementioned fantasy trade. Had I started Tyler Thigpen and not been a stubborn asshole who thinks Matt Hasselbeck is one of the greatest QBs of all time I would have won and probably rolled into the playoffs. I lost this game with my heart, but I lost the season with my head.
I will say one thing, Marshawn Lynch is awesome.
