LET'S GO MATT FORTE!!

Warning: DorkSpeak about to commence:

So I was in a handful of Fantasy Football leagues this year (I'm starting to think one is too many) - around Week 4, I hated myself...I didn't have the time or patience to deal with setting lineups, I was in last place in every league, and I vowed to never agree to such a thing again.

But then I realized my boys needed me. And as their manager, I had to set an example. My shovel was sharp. My will was outstanding. (Right, Rod?)

So I tried to turn the season around via some late nights at the computer. And you know what? It started to work...I snuck into the playoffs in every league but one. Of those, I all but wrapped up 3rd place in one this weekend and the other two come down to tonight.

More specifically, they come down to my man Matt Forte.



Matt's been good to me all year long. He's a steady, consistent force. And his last name is awesome. I face off with KJ tonight in a 3rd place game and need Forte to have the game of his life to save that weak team's season.

The other game is in a league of self-professed professionals (none of whom I've met) who I thought tricked me into joining so I could be their doormat (I took Tom Brady with my first pick...by Week 7, I was 2-5 and in last place). Then things started to shift my way and I won 8 games in a row...landing me in the championship game. I'm 10 points behind P Hibby - his guys are done and I have Mr. Forte. 11 points and I can take care of this thing... (by the way, big thanks to Kurt Warner for being terrible and making this dramatic).

So Matt, how's about a few receptions, a decent night on the ground, and maybe a TD?

Da Bears!!!
