Oliver's Travels

What better way to end my post-less August than with a write-up about my Fantasy Football team, est. Aug. 27, 2012.

The Squad:

QB: Tony Romo (eh...)
WR: Calvin Johnson*
WR: Victor Cruz
WR: Andre Johnson
RB: Matt Forte
RB: Doug Martin
TE: Jermichael Finley
BN: RGIII (QB)
BN: BenJarvis Green-Ellis (RB)
BN: Anquan Boldin (WR)
BN: Ben Tate (RB)
BN: Jacquizz Rodgers (I mean I couldn't get Aaron so...another Rodgers pls).
BN: Kendall Wright (WR)

*denotes my pride and/or joy

The debut match-up is slated to be Oliver's Travels (a nod for my cat and literature in general) vs. Flaming Marshmellows (not a typo, apparently). Sure to be a battle for the ages that will be live-tweeted (@AllisonGilchr).

I had my counsel facilitate the smack talking for me whilst I sat beside him eating funfetti pop tarts. I may know which players I enjoy watching (Cam!), but I'll be the first girl to say Sundays filled with beer and nachos with occasional glances toward the TV a Fantasy Guru does not make. 

So what do you think--impressive? This is my first gambling experience since the great $20 Quito, Ecuador Massacre of '09, but I think I'm ready.
