Codeword Secret

The pilot I was a part of: Codeword Secret has launched its website. We are going to be filming episodes in the coming weeks so look out for them. I say look out because they will be hot like fire in an oven in the sun. I'm in it, my character is kind of a loser. I swear its a character and not me saying lines.

I am in 4 fantasy football leagues. This is too many. I am in each one for a good reason. They each connect a different part of my life and its fun to be involved with each of these groups. The problem is, I cannot even remember who I'm rooting for on Sundays anymore (player wise...its always the Redskins and whoever is playing dallas/philly/new york). The other hard part is keeping track of player acquisitions, starting the right guys, and generally managing a team effectively. The thing that really stinks is fantasy football is my least favorite fantasy sport. Its so random from week to week that its really hard to analyze trends. In baseball, you get a lot of games and are rewarded over the long hall. Ebs and valleys happen, you can pretty much predict where a guy will end up. Basketball is the same thing on a shorter scale. If a guy averages 25 a game, he may not score 25 in a given contest, but you know where his average will be.

Football is not this way. Want examples? Any fantasy owner this year would LOVE to have Steven Jackson. He went 2nd overall in most leagues. He had 58 yards rushing and lost 2 fumbles on Sunday. Was it a bad pick for me to take him? No one would say yes, yet, he was outperformed by almost every starting RB in the league. Most fantasy owners would tell you that Larry Fitzgerald is a stud and one of the sure things in fantasy football; poised for a monster year. 20 yards receiving. That's what I got. Was I stupid because I didn't draft Brandon Marshall when I could take Fitz? Of course not. The result is that I'm 0-1 in a couple leagues because my stars didn't do sh*t.

I've got a bunch more examples for other teams. It's so random and I feel like there is a lot less skill involved than the other sports. This is all moot because I'm still going to play. I'm a pu$$y.

The weather today in New York is perfect. Literally perfect. This is what I signed up for. That and the fame. The weather is nice though.
