Hey Yo smell that, Uh Oh the El is back

Two weeks in to fantasy football season and I'm sure your sick of warmed over football cowpies a la Rotogods . . . but here's another one.

Nice to see that Randy Moss is getting a lions share of the credit for propping up the Culpepper era. Neither is doing as well apart as they did together, but let's think about this. Culpepper is like a mobile SCUD missile launcher and Moss is like some sort of next level guidance system. Moss is so big, fast and bouncy (yeah NBA draft crew!), that he can go almost anywhere to catch a deep ball and Culpepper could stay alive in the backfield long enough to sling it to him. Now defenses can give Culpepper all the shitty business that they give guys like McNabb (who's spent years trying to overcome the D's full attention). Culpepper is looking like TMac against a zone defense. I'm sure Dante will rebound eventually, but this year could get ugly as long as Yogi Bear is patroling the sidelines in Minny.

By the way, this is great news for those of you trapped in QB heavy leagues where Culpepper owners could sink your squad. You know I'm enjoying it.

So the Giants are 2-0 and even though I hate to admit it they are looking pretty strong with convincing wins over two teams that most folks thought would be decent. Looks like at least 1/2 of the NFC will show decent teams this year, still, the NFC north and west is looking like a big pile of blunda. I wouldn't be surprised if the North is won by a team with a 7-9 record (shiver). Maybe they could combine those two divisions and see if they come up with 4 good teams for a respectable conference.

Well, so far so good, at least I've written a Fool lengthed article (short and not quite satisfying), a real shame that Mrs. The Fool can confirm this. She's busy down under if you catch my meaning.

In any event, look for a more inspired situation from me a little later in the week. Like Tom Brady, I can't be sharp all the time, especially with all the interviews and appearances I'm expected to make. (scratches balls)
