September 7

Great news, good news and bad news today:

The great news: My laptop computer came in yesterday. I stayed up til 5 in the morning playing with it (two eps of SG1, trying, in vain, to get a wireless connection going so I could hook up to the internet, and playing 'Family Feud' until I won fast money on the fourth try), and wound up with a stiff neck and a slight case of insomnia.

The good news: My fantasy football teams got off to a promising start last night (Riverdogs 27, Beavers 11) with 3 players playing for the Dogs and 1 for the Beavers. There are still glitches in the system, apparently, as the boys at ESPN erroneously gave the first touchdown reception to Reggie Wayne when it was my boy Marvin Harrison who caught it. All was well after 25 minutes of complaining. Marvin ended up with 14 fantasy points for the week. My kicker for both of my teams is Adam Vinatieri, who scored 11 points with 5 PATs and 2 FGs inside 40 yards. Reggie Bush ran into a great defense that surprisingly gave up just 10 points and left Reggie with just 2 fantasy points.

The bad news: My Beavers stunk the joint up after losing 34-3 to Cincinnati. Inexperience at QB was the downfall this week and may be for the season. 6 picks!?! Cincinnati's defense is good though, so it may just be a bump in the road.
