Happy Friday: All Things Fantasy Football

The fantasy football draft is tomorrow, and I'm feverishly pouring over rankings from all corners of the net.  Yahoo, ESPN, SI.com, RotoWorld, Drudge Report, Maxim Online...you know, all the usual websites. I'm half prepared and half panicked at this point.  

The thought of potentially being forced to choose between Brian Westbrook and Joseph Addai at the 4th pick haunted my dreams last night.  Or an even worse thought: getting the 7th or 8th pick, or as I like to call it, the "sh*t pick."  Getting the 8th pick ("sh*t pick") will haunt your dreams for the entire season.

We've got lots of questions playing over and over in our minds today.  I mean, is Marshawn Lynch really the 11th best fantasy pick on the board?  Really?  I know he's gotta be ranked number one in the Fantasy Hit-and-Run rankings, but is he going to be that good on the football field?  Is Frank Gore going to make it through the entire season without an injury?  You see, if I pick him, he'll go down in week one and be out for at least 8 weeks.  If someone else gets him, he'll stay injury-free and dominate.  That's just how the fantasy football cookie crumbles for me in most cases.    

Do you think I am over-thinking this a little bit? (Yeah, just a tad right?)  Anyway, no matter how my fantasy draft may potentially go tomorrow, a little Vanessa Minillo will always make it a little bit better.
