Wondo Family and Friends NFL Fantasy Football Update
We are two weeks
into the 2015 Wondo Family and Friends Fantasy Football League and there is
already a lot of action. First of all –
we added two new Wondo Friends as expansion teams (welcome Mike and Droid) –
second of all (just to catch everyone up) The Fighting Basset Hounds are the
reigning league champions.
So far … very
early into this season … it has been another opportunity for a father to be proud. Both Chris (Wear that Green Lacy Thing) and
Steve (L.A. Brown-Rice) have won their first two games. And Matt (Discount Double Check) was edged
out in his second game but is still 1-1.
The Fighting Basset Hounds have shown tremendous resiliency in dealing
with setback after setback (Dez Bryant injury, Deflategate… Jeremy Hill
forgetting how to hold a football) and while their record does not reflect
their character --- their character is in first place.
Quakes Playoffs
It is great to be
pressing for a playoff spot in the closing weeks of the season. I have long said that the way MLS is --- if
you can put 3 wins together then you change everything as far as your place in
the standings. This would be the point
in the season when putting 3 wins together would be a pretty good move.
Avaya Stadium is
so great – it would be absolutely wonderful to have a playoff game at Avaya in
its inaugural year. I also think it
might be so loud that the passengers on the jets landing at SJC would be
complaining when they get off the plane.
Random (mostly sports) Thoughts
MLS MVP: Kei Kamara …
no doubt in my mind – great kid, great attitude, and amazing ability.
MLS Rookie of the Year … most think it has to be Cyle Larin –
and it is hard to argue against that --- unless you have seen Fatai Alashe game
after game – and in person. If I could
pick any rookie to be on my team (and I love goals) – it would be Fatai.
FAVORITE DAD MOMENTS IN SEPTEMBER (so far) …
-
Going to Raider Home opener with by three boys
and hooking up with the Moody major-tailgate.
Game was tough – but anytime a guy can be with his three boys???? And talking
about the same topic in the same way??? – pretty cool. And the Raiders have a 1 game winning streak which I like to call - RETURN TO EXCELLENCE.
-
Seeing my son on the coaching staff bench during
a Division I College Game. That made me
smile – what a great accomplishment.
-
Seeing all of my sons start out their fantasy
NFL Football year well. God knows I didn’t
have that experience to savor last year … it gives me hope for the next
generation.
