Football Manager is only a Fantasy

I know a good football player when I see one and sure any manager can do well with great players.  I got a less than average draft this year in my public Yahoo Fantasy Football league.  I was excited because this was going to be a challenge.

The draft is an auto pick draft and I took who was given.  I drafted Favre and Orton and an assortment of other players who currently make the news for one reason or another.  But I can play these guys like a fiddle and message the lineup much like an Asian message parlor in Washington D.C.

Week 1 comes along and my lineup plays like high school players.  I start Favre and he plays like a rookie.  I didn't start Orton which was good because he played like a backup high school quarterback.  So I trade Orton for Sanchez.  I'm thinking to myself what fools these other team managers are for leaving Sanchez undrafted after week 1.

Week 2 is now here and I'm ready to start Sanchez.  Then my managerial instincts kick in.  In the eleventh hour I decide that Favre will have a lot better chance against Miami than Sanchez will have against the Patriots.  So I make my move at 0300 while the other managers are sleeping and the media is off guard.

There is a reason I only watch football and do not manage a team.  At the end of week 2 I'm winless.  Additionally, by the names of the two teams that I've challenged, I think the managers of those teams are women.
