Friends have been trying for years to get me into fantasy football and I've been resistant until this weekend. This past Friday, I joined my first ever fantasy football league and experienced my first live draft. I have to admit it felt pretty awesome.
I was able to get some premier players in the early rounds, Drew Brees for example. And in the later rounds I was able to get some solid help, like Kevin Boss, Joe Flacco and Mushin Muhammad. I was also able to take a few calculated chances. For example I picked up LeSean McCoy the Eagles rookie who figures to get some good reps behind Brian Westbrook. I also took a chance and picked up Mike Vick in round 15 instead of picking a backup kicker. Its possible that might haunt me later, but with Vick's talent I figured I could always trade for a kicker later in the year if I really need to. The possibility of getting a potential touchdown machine like Vick in round 15 was too good to pass up.
I'm pretty happy with my fantasy team. I'll post updates on how my team is doing throughout the season. Even though your first year is supposed to be just getting acquainted with the process, I'm planning to take out the other guys in my league. Watch out.

I agree with the decision for Blount...if he had not gotten corny with the crowd then i would think that the punishment was too harsh. Definately there should have been some discipline for the instigator. Justice was not served properly in this case
