Fantasy Football 09-10 Season

While one of my biggest loves is Disney, I am actually interested in other things (I know, huge shocker, right?!) and one of those things is American Football. Been a big fan of the sport for quite a few years now and being 20 minutes south of Philadelphia, I am a big Philly fan. Yes, I'm even still a Philly fan after the whole Vick ordeal. Though I don't think he really deserves to be making millions after what he did and I don't like him as a person, I'm willing to see how he does on the football field because I respected him as a player when he played before.

Ok, enough about Vick and on to my main reason for writing this entry, my Fantasy Football Teams! :) I did Fantasy for the first time last year with my school Radio station and I loved it!!! I did pretty good too, coming in 1st place in the regular season with 11-3, came in 3rd place overall.

This season, I am on 2 fantasy teams, the first of which is with a sports show on Neumann University's radio station, Around the Dorm (On Wednesday nights from 9 to 11:30 EST at media.neumann.edu) and the second one is with members of srsounds.com.

My first draft, with ATD, was last Wednesday, the 26th. We are using ESPN, first time using ESPN, last year I used yahoo. I feel pretty confident about my team here, what do you think?:

QB- Peyton Manning, Matt Cassel
WR- Reggie Wayne, Braylon Edwards, Muhsin Muhammad
RB- LaDainian Tomlinson, Reggie Bush, LenDale White, Chester Taylor, Julius Jones
TE- Owen Daniels, John Carlson
K- David Akers, John Carney
D/ST- Ravens, Bears

Sunday the 30th was the second draft on yahoo with the srsounds.com crew! Not as confident in my team here, but I think they can get the job done:

QB- Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Cassel
WR- Reggie Wayne, Brandon Marshall, Santana Moss, Michael Crabtree
RB- LaDainian Tomlinson, Chris Johnson, Marshawn Lynch
TE- Jeremy Shockey, Brent Celek
K- David Akers, Jeff Reed
D/ST- Tennessee, Miami

So these are my two teams for the season! I'll update how they are doing throughout the season, I have some faith that I will do just fine, but let the best teams on both groups win!

Who the heck am I?!

So, if you have read up to here and have stuck with me so far, you must have found something I said interesting. I figure its only fair for you to know some things about myself.

As I said before, I am a 20 year old college student. I am a junior at Neumann University (Formerly Neumann College, we got our University status in May!). My major is Elementary Education with a Special Education Certification and I am minoring in Music.

Music is one of my big passions. I've been playing flute for 14 years, piccolo for 5, baritone saxophone for 8 months and alto sax for 6 months. I've played a little piano, but nothing huge, I'm trying to teach myself. I've done some singing in musicals and in a couple choirs, but it is not my big thing. Music is a huge part of my life and you can guarantee that I'll be talking about it often, especially the music program that I am working on for a nearby elementary school. That's a story for another blog post though.

I live with my Mom, Dad and little sister Emily...ok, so she's not that little anymore. She's 16 and a good couple inches taller than me. I keep telling her though, I don't care how tall she gets, she's still my baby sister.

Another thing you will notice about me, I love pictures. This blog will be filled with pictures from trips to family and friends. Pictures are not only with 1000 words to me, they are the portal to treasured memories. Looking at pictures of past vacations helps me relive the fun that I had and always is able to put a smile on my face. Plus, I feel visuals help get points across or make them stand out. So, if you don't like pictures, this is not the blog for you!.....should have had that in my warning......oh well.....moving on...

I am a big sports fan! Been so for about 7 years now. I love Football (Fly Eagles Fly!), Baseball (Phillies and Blue Rocks) and Hockey (Flyers and Phantoms). Yes, I am a huge Philly fan. That's what happens when you grow up 20 minutes from the city. Feel free to send team bashing comments, I'm expecting them. I also play Fantasy Football. Played my first season last year on the College Radio station team and came in first place! Needless to say, the boys in the station were not very happy with my good fortune.

So that's just some information on me and my life. If you have any questions for me, please don't hesitate to ask!
