SI: Be Quiet And Leave It To The Professionals
>> Monday
One thing I hate is when sports magazines try and jump on the fantasy bandwagon and provide really, really poor fantasy avice. Case in point: the new issue of Sports Illustrated.
It's bad from the outset, starting from their choice of cover boy. They chose Reggie Bush (a rookie who, if you haven't heard, may not even decide to play this year) for the cover. For those of you who aren't big-time fantasy addicts, rookies, as a rule of thumb, are rarely impact fantasy players and are never, ever, ever worth promoting that much for fantasy football. There's a reason every other reputable fantasy football publication decided to put Larry Johnson (not Grandma-ma, the other one) on their covers.
Once you get inside, it gets even better. SI actually ranks Tom Brady above Peyton Manning in the QB rankings. Apparently SI's leagues have handsome points for their players. Otherwise, I can't imagine why anyone would say that. At all. Ever.
Also great is the worthless advice of SI football "expert" Peter King who writes an "I think I think" about how if you have a fantasy team you should just pick Peyton and a bunch of bum running backs and then you're guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. Peter King, I know I think you suck.
Okay, this post is rambling and stupid, I'm done. I just wanted to get that off my chest. Oh, also, I can't wait for football season.

Were handsome points part of the rule changes in our fantasy league this offseason? I can't remember now. If so, J.P. Lossman is MINE.
Yeah, I think handsome points were added because Zuch thought they were a more valuable stat than interceptions.
Geez, if handsome points counted, Kyle Orton would be ranked even lower, if that's possible.
I think Pat might disagree with you there.
Wait...none of us took the bait and made a Ben Rothlisberger crack. Ok, I will now:
"He ain't pretty no mo'e!"
