Breaks my heart to see what has happened to one of sports most storied franchises, the Pittsburgh Pirates. I can't even remember the last time they finished in the upper half of their division. 18 straight losing seasons? The Saints endured 21 consecutive non-winning seasons but that was due to total ineptitude across the board. I don't believe that to be the case in Pittsburgh. The Pirates have made their share of mistakes in those 18 years but they are also being seriously outspent by their competitors. No matter how well they manage themselves, a well-managed team with more revenue has a distinct advantage. Baseball is a great game but they have serious problems.
For better or worse, undoubtedly worse, the CrabAppleLane Fantasy Football 2010 Cheat Sheet in Microsoft Excel. Finished just this morning. It's the one I'll use tomorrow at my first auction. Only seem to be a handful of rookies this season. Most of the good teams are loaded with veteran skill players. Rookie starters on bad teams usually don't fare well so I'd probably stay away from them anyway although rookie Sam Bradford figures to be throwing the ball a lot this year and that could give him decent fantasy numbers. His team figures to be playing from behind quite a bit. Anxious to see if he can last a whole season in the NFL.
The Saints take on the Houston Texans tonight in the SuperDome. It will be their first game in the Dome since the NFC Championship game back in January. I'd like to see better pass protection from the first unit tonight than they offered last week against the Patriots. I don't need to see #9 knocked around again.
