Title: Favorite Players
Post by StegRock on Aug 6^th, 2009, 1:50pm

I am smitten... [smiley=smitten.gif] I DEFINITELY have my new fantasy football man-love affair... Hence, I start this thread which is kinda, sorta related to fantasy leagues (and, thus, appropriate for the "between the 20's" board) for all to post the man-loves on their fantasy rosters or at least radars. [smiley=radar.gif]

I was out the other day at a local comics and collectibles shop getting football cards for the 2008 GBRFL (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/gbrfl) plaques to be awarded at this year's Summer Meeting & Draft (no, I'm not one of the recipients, :( haven't been for a few years now [smiley=bawling.gif]). Something, mind you, I don't usually do anymore. I usually just order the cards on-line (from Beckett.com). But, this year I was pressed for time.

At any rate, for fun I found myself browsing for cards that might be of interest to me vis-a-vis my GBRFL (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/gbrfl) roster and in anticipation of a successful 2009 campaign (that may finally merit me a plaque again). [smiley=fingerscrossed.gif] While sifting through the shop's card collection, I stumbled across an Anthony [smiley=horseshoe.gif] Gonzalez rookie card (for $1.50). Suffice it to say, I've been a fan since day one. I traded for him a couple years ago, and I feel strongly that he will break out this season and go on to have a fantastic career. BUT, it's what I read when I flipped the card over, and I'm NOT talking about the stats lines, that has me all ga-ga. [smiley=sdscoobydoo.gif] It says, and I quote, "Anthony will join LeCharles Bentley of the Browns and Chris Hovan of the Buccaneers as alumni of Cleveland's prestigious St. Ignatius High. An Academic All-American at Ohio State with a 3.6 GPA in PHILOSOPHY, 'He brings a calm to the team, and he brings confidence,' said Ohio State coach Jim Tressel." A man after my heart,... a Philosophy major! Moreover, with the attributes of calmness and confidence,... [smiley=zenmaster.gif] marks of a true philosopher (note the structure of the that second sentence, the comma preceding the Tressel quote)! I'M IN LOVE!!! [smiley=hearteyes.gif] ... [smiley=smitten.gif]

Feel free to consider this your confessional, [smiley=angel.gif] a place to share,... nay,... confess your fantasy football man-love fests...
