I’ll admit, even after I drafted Steve Breaston in Fantasy this year, I didn’t really care about what Breaston had to say, . Then last week, to everyone’s surprise he went off for 132 yards in the Cards season opener – awarding me a serviceable 13 fantasy points. Now I’m ready to listen.

This week, Breaston gave one of the more authenticate interviews, post-Week One, to his team’s home town rag The Arizona Republic, intimating…

• He likes to always (or at least a lot) eat McDonald’s for his pre-game meal, he prefers sausage-egg mcmuffins and double cheeseburger meals
• He’s part of a non-NFLPA sanctioned gang called the “Backpack Boys” made up of himself Adrian Wilson. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Mike Adams
• He follows the code, “You’ve gotta dance with the girl that took you to the prom.” (citing Mike Adams)

Breaston also fancies himself a writer. I look forward to him bringing long-form back on Steven Breaston 15 ((The official page of S.Phantom)) on Facebook. Maybe pen something like “A Possession Wideout’s Guide to the Extra Value Menu” by S.Breaston.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Steve Breaston reveals talents off field

You know you’re poor at Fantasy Football when your team’s most harrowing performance of the year comes from a middling running back in Week 15 of the NFL Season, or as far as your fantasy team is concerned – the second round robin round of the consolation ladder. Also, you left this player on your bench (where he belonged for most of the season).

Mostly underwhelming all year, Jerome Harrison was truly unstoppable yesterday in the Browns’ win over Kansas City, grabbing 286 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Even more impressive, he shattered Jim Brown’s previous team record of 237 yds. Most impressive, that’s 52 fantasy points. As such, a performance of this magnitude can’t help but make me question: undrafted keeper in 2010?

Conflicted isn’t the right word, but it’s the first word that comes to mind.

I don’t know if my berating of Frank Gore in yesterday’s post properly alluded to the Fantasy Football running back quandary that is stifling me at the present…

Put it to you like this: I  just picked up Maurice Morris and Jerome Harrison, and they’re both in my starting line-up for Sunday.

That’s after I was unable to pick up Ladell Betts off the waiver wire.

And in the interest of full disclosure, to make room on the roster, I dropped Zach Miller to pick up Maurice (who I opted for over Sammy Morris, in fact) and Earnest P-Funk Graham to pick up Jerome. Which means it took me this long to get rid of both those guys.

However, I’m 3-0, Jack. With a win coming last week off some powerful performances from Gore (0 points), Trent Edward (2 points) and Tim Hightower (0 points). This, as I see it, is indicative of only one thing – that other people in my league are being forced to promote even bigger schlubs than the roster I just laid out in front of you.

In the interest of self pity in a group environment, I invite you to leave your #1 doofus currently in your fantasy starting line-up in the comments…

Preferably players you’ve been forced to pick-up, but this forum is also willing to comfort those plagued by bad drafting (doofuses like Delhomme, Tomlinson).

SIDEBAR: Earnest Graham looking dapper in a tan suit, standing next to a graffiti’d out train on what appears to be a stormy day. Something to ponder.

With the first position on the waiver wire – as a result of having the most abysmal week in the league – I’ve locked up Matt Cassel on my Fantasy Team.

The New York Times reports:

The New England Patriots, sifting through their quarterback options in the wake of Tom Brady’s season-ending knee injury, sent free agents Chris Simms and Tim Rattay home Monday afternoon without even working them out, Coach Bill Belichick acknowledged in a conference call Tuesday.

…and I picked up Daunte, just in case.

I pledged. I vowed. Things were going to be different this year…

One league.

I failed. I just finished my third fantasy draft of the year. Also, I signed up for the KSK Survival Pool this morning. Will Power? Never heard of him. Was that the Silver Surfer’s alter-ego?

I hi-jacked a Chinese Food delivery vespa tonight to make it home in time for the final draft (money league, keeper league – Mr. Number One Luck Sang would understand).

Last year, this exact scenario blew up in my face – three leagues, and after week one I didn’t even look at two of them. And I was out of the Survival Pool, before things even got started (damn, that Thursday Football Opening Night America Horse Caca!)*

And yet, here I am. Spread too thin . What is it that I can’t say no to here?

I can’t be alone on this. I want to know how indulgent your fantasy docket is? Post in the comments how many fantasy football leagues, NFL survival pools, bookies on speed dial, etc. etc. you’ve gotten yourself into this year.

And if a few people want to disclose that they also waste their time on Fantasy NASCAR, or better yet – an Oscar Pool, that would probably help too.

*Like every dedicated Football fan, I’m actually pumped that the NFL opens on Thursday. Make sure you have your picks and players set by kickoff!
