It's in the bag...

My Fantasy Football League Update: I'll get back to you all on Tuesday with the final stats and standings, but I'll go out on a limb and tell you right now that I'm on the verge of going 3-0 in my first try at this Fantasy Football stuff.

One of my two quarterbacks on Team Priceless, Mark Sanchez, came through tonight in the final NFL game of the day as he threw three touchdown passes as the New York Jets bested the Miami Dolphins, 31-23. He threw for 256 yards and picked up 27 Fantasy points for my cause.

Thanks, Mark! And if that wasn't enough my other QB, Eli Manning, threw for 356 yard (but no touchdowns...that's an odd stat)to accumulate 43 Fantasy points.Wow! I'm very happy with both of them, despite the fact Eli and the Giants lost their game to the Titans. At any rate, I head into Monday Night Football once again with no players involved in the contest. But I do hold a 165-138 lead over my opponent, Team Smith, and luckily the owner of Team Smith has just one player participating -- a tight end for Green Bay named Jermichael Finley. I seriously doubt the Packers' Aaron Rodgers will throw enough passes his way to close the gap and keep me away from capturing my third win of the young season.

There is one interesting matchup in my UPC Hood Fantasy League for Monday night and that will involve the Big Dawgs and Grey Ghosts. Now, Big Dawgs, one of the unbeaten teams in the league, has a 48-point lead going into MNF over the Grey Ghost (0-2), but they also will be void of any players in the contest. On the other hand, the Grey Ghost will have Mr. Rogers at the helm, along with the Green Bay defense, and to add to the mix a running back for Chicago in the name of Matt Forte. Quite a predicament for the owner of the Big Dawgs. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out.

Isn't Fantasy Football a kick?
