At Least I Don't Have to Negotiate Contracts

This does not bode well. I'm trying to prepare for the big fantasy football draft I have tomorrow. It's been years since I've managed a fantasy team, and I was shocked to learn recently that LaDanian Tomlinson is generally regarded as the top fantasy points producer. I assumed quarterbacks were the way to go. But now I know running backs are good, which makes me feel good that I'm privy to this bit of information, but at the same time nervous that there are other fantasy philosophies I'm not in tune with. Like when is it okay to take a tight end? I have no idea.

I'm also worried that I won't be thinking in terms of fantasy points, and instead base my selections on real-life skills. For instance, I'm a huge Rod Smith fan. Excellent receiver, excellent runner, but I love him because he blocks the shit out of people. I realize that particular skill-set has no bearing on fantasy statistics, yet I see his name and immediately think "oh, that guy's great." And I fear at least a couple times this will lead to a knee-jerk selection that I'll soon regret. Though I'm not so stupid as to take Daimon Shelton or Sam Gash.

I'm worried I'm going to make a Michael Oliwakandi-esque pick.

The Orioles used to be in first place. Now they're 12-and-a-half back. I don't know how that happened.

This season was cruel for Oriole fans. Hope kills
