Fantasy Football Librarian

Can we all get together and lobby to make September into Fantasy Football Awareness Month or what? Happy September and happy drafting - my week has been full of drafts already and the fun is really just beginning. I took MJD with the 3rd overall pick in a draft last night and am hoping that was the right move (Ray Rice was just sitting there, calling for me...). One of our links will address the MJD knee issue but I also have the results of the Buffalo Wild Wings League draft that I participated in on Monday night for you all. Adam Levitan of Rotoworld did a live chat during the draft , so check out his chat for the picks plus a bit of sage commentary. I feel only okay about my team; some picks felt money, others were a stretch or a panic pick when my guy went right before my turn. You all know how that feels I'm sure, what drafter doesn't? So moving on to today's links: Ultimate Fantasy Football Strategy takes a look at the 2010 Top 10 Overvalued Players - remember thi...

Well it's a bit of a winter wonderland here in New York City - there was plenty of talk about how much snow was going to fall today, but I was actually pleasantly surprised to see that the snow really had little to no impact on my commute and traversing around the city. Meanwhile my poor mom in northern Virginia had her heat fail on her today of all days - fortunately she somehow got some repairmen who were willing to come out and get her back on the happy furnace track again. Thank goodness...lots of snow and no heat? Not acceptable. Time now for some game photos my friends! Yesterday I posted a bunch of photos highlighting some of the cool non-game things we did during our weekend trip to South Florida...but now it's finally time for photos from Super Bowl 44. To be honest I was pretty into the game so I only snagged a handful of actual game photos but took plenty during pre-game warmups. Once again I'll sprinkle them in with today's daily links, which are...

Wow it has been a whirlwind week going from the amazing trip to the Super Bowl (thanks again Buffalo Wild Wings) to a new job - feels like I've hardly had time to breathe so my apologies for my slow blogging this week. First up, I'm scattering some Super Bowl weekend pictures throughout my posts for the week to keep you entertained. We took over 200 photos so as you can imagine, I'm trying to just show you all a smattering of the best and most representative of the trip. Up first, Archie Manning getting ready to do an interview on Radio Row at the media center, followed by The Who being interviewed before their acoustic set for the media on Thursday afternoon. Interspersed between SB44 weekend photos though there will be links. The 2010 season is now squarely in front of us and while it's a long, long, sad way off until Week 1, there are actually plenty of sites still cranking out offseason analysis. So let's get right to the first link of the night: Let...

Wow, what an experience. Go out and get yourselves some wings at Buffalo Wild Wings - they truly treated us like royalty this weekend and the game did not disappoint. While my husband and I were clutching our faces in dismay as the interception was returned for a touchdown, and everyone surrounding us seemed to be a Saints fan (50-year-old fan in front of us literally jumped up onto the seat in front of him and a woman nearby was crying she was so happy), it was still an event that I will never forget despite the unwanted outcome. And really, I can't be all that sad that the Saints won, just bummed that the Colts didn't if that makes sense. Catch up on t he highlights from yesterday including our stop by the NFL Alum pre-party sponsored by PrimeSport and of course the game itself. I have SO many photos to post but here's one of me in our amazing seats during pre-game. Also just a note that I'll be starting a new job bright and early tomorrow morning so my schedule...

So how many of you are tuned into the NFL Network's 8 hours of coverage? I've been reading up on snowpocalypse/snowmagaddon/snowtorious BIG in the mid-atlantic states and man, I hope you all are able to see the big game today...and of course have heat, light, and other basic necessities. You can catch up on all my latest adventures in South Florida on the Buffalo Wild Wings All-Star Blogger League website - and remember that I'll be tweeting during the game, so scope out the tweets if you're interested (there's a twitter feed that you can read on the bottom right of this blog, too, if you don't have a twitter account)! Had a great time at the DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl and have some great photos to post - I'm sure to have more after today's NFL Alum pre-game party, too. So come on back in the next few days for those pics! And of course my normal links out to fantasy football articles will resume as soon as I return to my normal life in NYC. Fin...

I'm sitting on our hotel's pool deck looking out over the beach, enjoying some blue skies and warm temps. My freckle quotient has just skyrocketed. It's possible I'm the only one cranking out anything even close to work here - I'm seeing lots of beers, lots of sun worshipers, and all sorts of football fans. It's actually really interesting to see all of the teams/players that are being represented down here - I cheered on a fellow Broncos fan who passed me on the sidewalk but I've seen Giants fans, Favre fans, and Steelers fans amongst the throngs of Colts and Saints fans. So part of this connection with Buffalo Wild Wings means I get a sneak peek at a few things like Gatorade's journey commerical for the Super Bowl - scope it out of you're interested in the preview. And of course don't forget to come by the Buffalo Wild Wings league site for a recap on last night's event with Trey Wingo and Mark Schlereth!

Just another reminder to swing by the Buffalo Wild Wings All-Star Blogger League website for my latest updates on the Super Bowl extravaganza. I've been taking a fair number of photos with my real camera (iPhone camera not the greatest) so I'll get some more photos up when I'm back home next week. Today on radio row I saw some fun antics between Jamie Foxx and Michael Strahan...and spotted Andy Rooney, who quite frankly, is hard to miss.

Just a reminder that I'll be posting updates on my trip down to the Super Bowl over on the Buffalo Wild Wings All-Star Blogger League website . Check it out to see my take on all that's going around over here. Tomorrow looks like it will include another trip to the media center and then down to Miami for both an event hosted by Venus Williams and our event at the Miami Buffalo Wild Wings from 5:30-7:30. Right now I'm taking a breather between the media center and dinner in South Beach by watching the sun sink towards the west from our hotel room. Good times. Here's a quick photo from the back of the media center - I'm pretty sure the only person of any degree of fame here in this photo would be Papa John (in red shirt, back to camera - I know, I've got great photo taking skills). Yup, the papa himself. There was a steady stream of Papa John's pizzas coming in...
