First fantasy football post of the season

It’s that time of year again

Since there’s only 69 days left until my fantasy football live draft for the pay league (no, I’m not kidding, they already set it up) I wanted to take a peek at some of the proposed scoring rules we’re considering for this year:

1 – You can draft LT on even weeks or odd ones, not both
** Frankly, even with half his production LaDanian Tomlinson is a better pick than most players. If we did this last year, he would have been the ninth and 10th best RBs available.

2 – Coach draft: One point per pound lost
** Andy Reid seems like a no-brainer here, but remember he already slimmed down to just under 700 pound last season. The sleeper pick here is Falcons’ coach Bobby Petrino, who may be eaten alive when crazy Mike Vick goes cannibal. That’s 230 points right there.

3 – Raiders players to be included in the draft
** It seems odd to include minor leaguers in with everyone else, but if the NFL is going to do it we might as well let the idiots in our league do the same. So feel free to grab Jamarcus Russell early.

4 – Five-point penalty per player suicide attempt
** This will be referred to as the "T.O. rule" from this point forward. No extra penalty if he's successful.

5 – 50-point bonus for drafting Akers
** Just because.
