Fantasy Update

So there I was, walking on the beach when this beautiful woman holding a football...

Oops, sorry - wrong fantasy. And even though it would be more exciting then drafting #1 in August, I won't tell you the rest. What I will tell you is that my first pick will be Steven Jackson(unless he's gone, of course). I am going to really miss having Torry on my bench while he gets absolutely NOTHING from Bulger, but maybe this year will be different now that he has his 20 year old legs back with his new team. Yeah right. From a fantasy standpoint I am glad that he is gone, because my loyalty to Rams players in my draft is my ultimate downfall. Now if I can just keep from drafting Marc, I'll be alright.

According to The ESPN TOP 150, SJ is ranked #5 RB and #5 overall, while Marc is all the way down at #277 overall and #28 in QB behind Brady Quinn and JaMarcus Frickin Russell! Donnie Avery is listed at a respectable #107 overall and #38 WR, but is still ranked behind such HOF'ers as MICHEAL CRABTREE and DERRICK MASON! That's right - an overrated rookie and a retired leftover. Ooh, I know - if Bennett signs with the Ravens I can take him, since he'll probably be rated ahead of Avery too. Makes me want to crumple this big stupid list up and go with my gut. And I would if it wasn't so damn big too!

For fantasy update, this is the Beave signing off and reminding you that man must not live on bread alone, but if you've got bread man - you're not alone.

Moved

Last blog I wrote was in regards to Vick possibly moving into Rams Park and that if he did, I was moving out. While this has not happened, I still moved - from Oregon back to Northern California. My life is now back in order and I will be posting for next issue. It's good to be home!

Just Moving or Moving Out?

That is the question that I may soon be answering. As I ready my family for our move back to California, family obligations being what they are and all, I am now also faced with a moving dilemma that faces all Rams fans - what to do if Michael Vick moves into Rams Park?

This rumor was circulating earlier in his criminal incarcerated career and I stand now by what I said then - if he moves in, I am moving out. Period. As hard as it seems, I will not stand by idly while the team I love employs a killer of the animal I love the most.

And at such time when he moves out, I will be ready to move back in and retake my spot among the fans of the XGSOT.

Holt a Bolt?

Or a Whiner? Or a Raider? Or how about a Seahag? Whatever the case, he is gone from our team but will never be gone from our memory.

His hands are some of the greatest I have seen and his heart is unquestionable.

The TD he caught in Super Bowl 34 with his shoulder so bad he couldn't even raise his arm so he used his facemask to secure it - AS A ROOKIE - was incredible. His juggling catch against the Hags was one of the best of that year and played over and over on SC.

His leadership will be sorely missed, as will his work ethic.

I can only hope that his replacement will be half as good.

No Faulk, no Warner, no Bruce, and now no Holt, the final piece of the GSOT gone forever. The best foursome in the history of the NFL left us memories that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, so will this year's rendition of the WSOT.


PS) Bulger for Cutler IN A HEARTBEAT!
