Always Anna

I love football.  And since I started an all-girls fantasy football league with some friends 3 seasons ago, I’ve loved fantasy football too.  But I do have one complaint….

Shaun Alexander is killing my soul.

I had the first pick in the draft last year, and was all set to draft LaDainian.  Due to issues in getting online in time for the live draft, and the fact that I stupidly did not set my preferences in Yahoo, I ended up getting Shaun Alexander.  I was disappointed, but decided that it wasn’t that big a deal.

Then, of course, the Madden curse set in, and Shaun Alexander single-handedly wrecked my team last year.  Sigh.

This year, we decided to have one “keeper” on each team - each girl keeps one player from the previous year’s team.  After a ton of deliberation, I had to keep Shaun.  I figured that he’d come back this season with something to prove, and that I’d be stupid to drop him.  Plus, I didn’t have anyone better.

How wrong I was.  Now my team is even WORSE than it was last year, and I don’t think I can convince anyone to trade one of their players to me for him.  But I’ve got to try - I just can’t deal with this anymore.
