Some Advice from the Experts...

I wonder how I would feel if I was a Kansas City Chiefs fan this morning?

Think about this:  My team just lost at home against a division rival.  During the game this rival lost their #1 and #2 running backs in the first half.  Their quarterback completed just two passes in the entire game, the first one at 3:58 in the third quarter. 

And somehow the Chiefs lost.

There are bad losses and there are ugly losses.  This was a putrid loss.

My new favorite sitcom.

Now it is time to expose some fantasy "experts."  Yesterday I watched "NFL Fantasy Live" on NFL Redzone, which airs 11 AM to 12 noon (Central time) every Sunday - (with the priceless tagline, "For all you need to dominate your league.").  If you want a good chuckle I would encourage you to watch an episode.  I've never seen a group of holier-than-thou idiots who know so little about so much.  I took notes and here are what the "experts" said on Sunday morning.

The quotes are verbatim from the "experts," and the "experts" are Michael Fabiano, Matt "Money" Smith, Adam Rank, Jason Smith and the show's host, Dave Dameshek:

"Jeremy Maclin will have more than 15 fantasy points.  DeSean Jackson is inactive.  It's going to be the Jeremy Maclin show at the Linc."  In fairness, Maclin got hurt.  But in equal fairness, he was not playing well before he got hurt.

"Michael Vick will have more than 25 fantasy points.  This will be a blow out.  It's up to Andy Reid to decide when enough is enough."  Great job experts.  Vick had less than 130 yards passing and two INTs.  He did have 79 yards rushing, but was nowhere in the neighborhood of "more than 25 fantasy points."


"Kansas City's defense will have at least three turnovers and at least one pick six.  Start 'em."  Wow.  Nice advice.


"Larry Fitzgerald will have less than 12 fantasy points.  No, I'll go even better than that.  Fitzgerald will have less than eight fantasy points.  WAY less, especially with the legendary John Skelton throwing him the ball."   Fitzgerald had 146 yards receiving and two touchdowns.  In my leagues, that's 26 fantasy points, which is WAY more than eight.

And my favorite piece of advice for the day:


"TIM TEBOW WILL HAVE MORE FANTASY POINTS THAN TOM BRADY.  WRITE IT DOWN!"  And I did.  Right here.

Fantasy Football Experts.  I guess it is better than having a real job.
