Homer of all homers

[JuicesFlowing]

I am not a fantasy football guy. However, I just had my draft on ESPN.com and I picked LJ, Bowe, and Gonzo. I also have Charles as a backup. That's why I hate fantasy football, because if you are a Chiefs fan, you have to cheer for other players on other teams, which sucks ass. I will probably go 0-13 but I will have a lot of fun doing it.

Then, I used a multiplier to add in my homerism. Chief players got a bonus of 10% (1.1 multiplier). Other AFC West teams got a bonus of -15% and other teams we play got a bonus of -5%. Then, I committed to play my board as much as possible.

Even after all this, LJ was ranked #19 on my list. At that point, I decided I shouldn't reach for LJ in the first. But, there was a major run on RB's (5 picked before me I think) and I got LJ with the 8th pick. Higher than I wanted, but at least it made sense and according to my ranking he was the 6th or 7th best RB. He ended up being the only Chief on my team though.

I wanted Tony, but I think I'm glad now that I didn't get him. I hate Shockey, but he will probably be a better fantasy player, and at least he's not in the AFC West.

My first pick was also #8, and I chose LJ. I didn't think it was reaching all that much. I guess my point is, it will be a whole lot funner cheering him on when it comes gametime ...
