Okay, I did it. I created a fantasy football team with the NFL Playoff Challenge. Yup, we'll see how this goes.
So the first step was to create a catchy fun team name. All the big fantasy footballers do it. I've heard these names recently: "It's on like Ndamukong" and "It's Mike Vick in a box". Those are pretty good names. Good job husband ;) Alright, so my favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks. Their coach is Pete Carroll. Since it was just the holiday season I figured I would go with something seasonal. So, "Carroll of the bells" was born. Yes, I know it's not the most creative or memorable team name. But hey, it's my first time, give me break. Next I had to create a roster with eight players. How did I choose you might ask. Well, there was a very scientific approach to it. Okay, not really. I just picked the guys I like (and have heard of). I actually did do a little bit of research on some of these guys, so they better not let me down!
Here was my line up:
Quarterback- Tim Tebow
Running backs- Michael Turner and Arian Foster
Wide Receivers- Demaryius Thomas and Julio Jones
Tight End- Brandon Pettigrew
Kicker- Matt Prater and for my Defense I picked the Denver Broncos.
I didn't mean to pick all those guys from the Broncos team, it just happened. However, I did mean to pick Tim Tebow because he is AWESOME!!
So I had a team name and I had a roster. Now it was time to wait and hope my guys did really well. To my astonishment, they did great! Tebow alone gave me 31 points! My other point leaders were Foster with 29 points and Thomas with 26 points. Even Prater and the Broncos defense gave me 11 points each. My total was 123 round points with all my Bronco guys and Arian Foster going to the next round. I'm pretty excited! Yes I know, I probably didn't make as many points as some veteran fantasy football players, but hey, this is just for fun.
Well, fun and I'm trying to beat my husbands playoff team. So far so good, his total round points are 111. Woot woot! Let's hope my team kicks butt again this weekend!
