My football teams completed the trifecta this weekend--the three teams I care about, The Chicago Bears, The New England Patriots and of course, the Boston College Eagles all won this weekend, two of them fairly substantially. 

But I still can't help complaining, because I was really going for a quad-fecta or whatever the 4-part version of a trifecta would be...I really wanted my fantasy football team to win too, but alas, that would be too many stars aligned for one weekend. Instead  my fantasy team lost. Again. I loose a lot, pretty much always actually. I've given up on my team and I just basically drop half the players each week and pick up whoever's playing well. I've won more games (a grand total of 2) doing that than sticking with my original draftees....But part of it just bad luck. I lost two games by one point, and three games by less than 6 points. In fact, I just lost to someone who never watched football before this year (yes Laura, that's you) but she had the foresight (blind luck) to pick Matt Forte in the draft. 

But I'm not bitter or anything. 

I'm not counting down the days until next year's draft or anything. 

I swear.

  1. You're thinking of a superfecta. That's when you pick the first four horses to finish in exact order.

    Also, why the hell do you care about the Patriots?

    Also, can I link to you in my blog? I have like, six readers!

  8. Im confused...are we here to correct all your spelling errors and ruthlessly criticize you? Are we celebrating a job well done on your blog? Or just discussing your futility in fantasy football? This blog is more chaotic than Scotty after 7 redbull vodkas!
