The fantasy football regular season is over in most leagues this week. Some will play another week and have two rounds of playoffs but we prefer to end now because we like three rounds of playoffs. In one league, my fantasy football team (Spawn) finished 8-5, made the playoffs as a second seed, and will get a bye despite a convincing loss this week. My other team (Death on Two Legs) in my other league, which I thought was quite a bit better than the 8-5 team at the beginning of the season, finished 5-8 and is off to our consolation tournament. The team I felt pretty good about was pretty bad and the team I felt pretty bad about was better than I thought. A pretty typical year for me.
The Saints are pretty much done for 2008 but I'm optimistic for 2009 because they'll still have Drew Brees, the defense is playing better now in spite of the injuries, they'll probably have a last place schedule, and, finally, because Jake Delhomme and Jeff Garcia will be another year older and even less effective. Known-Saints killer Jeff Garcia was pretty ordinary this past Sunday. On top of that, I can't imagine another season where 16 players get declared out for the year. They still have to do something about their consistency issues, though.
Can we please NOT HAVE a Jets-Giants Super Bowl? Pretty please?
Oddsmakers have made the Gators a 10pt favorite in the Florida-Alabama SEC Championship game but I like the Tide's chances.
About today's QOTD: For once, I agree with Mike Celizic or "hat guy" as my friend, Nightfly, calls him.

I don't know what the Giants are going to do to Plaxico Burress, but none of the options should involve writing him a regular paycheck.
