Jabar doesn't have Gaffney Fever
I'm back from the Patriots media availability this morning, and will be writing about it shortly. In the meantime, a couple more videos are ready from Phoenix.
Out of two teams, only Jabar Gaffney would admit to playing. In a true display of fantasy savvy, Gaffney drafted himself but kept himself on the bench most of the team. Even Gaffney didn't have Gaffney Fever, which we wrote about late in the year. Still, Gaffney has reached a level of start or sit regret that all of us will never realize.
You could tell guys like Reuben Droughns, Laurence Maroney, and Brandon Jacobs heard it from Fantasy Nation and friends when they didn't play well. Droughns and Kool Aid took it in good spirits; The Train was cranky.
One clip that didn't get in the show was from Jeff Feagles, who wanted punting to be a category. Giants C Shaun O' Hara echoed the sentiment, hoping offensive linemen could get included some day.
Comments
You can tell Feagles that some leagues on ESPN (like mine) did use punters this year. But the way the stats work (average distance, and number inside the 20) most punters just score 2 points every week, so they end up canceling each other out. One or two of the top punters would score 4 or 5 some weeks, and the bottom guys would score 0 or 1.
