Fantasy League Champion

Were you curious how I did in my fantasy celebrity league? Well, even if you were not (which is very likely), I am sharing the results anyway. After losing year after year in fantasy baseball and football, I think I found my niche. Yes, you are reading the blog of the fantasy celebrity champion! Thanks primarily to Anna Nicole Smith with some assistance from Eddie Murphy, Ellen DeGeneres, Helen Mirren (great free agent pick-up), Scarlett Johansson and Mary J. Blige, I won the league my a huge margin. I am now going for a repeat against a formidable group of opponents. This season should be more difficult since the Grammys and Oscars have passed. It could come down to whoever has Anna Nicole or Britney.

Maybe this victory is a good sign for the upcoming fantasy baseball leagues.

Sunday Morning Thoughts

- Tonight is the premiere of “The Winner” starring Rob Corddy on FOX. I will probably not be watching since I saw this show 15 years ago when it was called “Get a Life” with Chris Elliot.

- With all of the news over the past few weeks, I have not seen anyone mention the "Naked Gun 33 1/3" curse. See: Anna Nicole Smith and O.J. Simpson. Is Fred Ward next? Maybe it is the curse of the 1995 Razzie Award winners. Anna Nicole Smith won Worst New Star while O.J. Simpson won Worst Supporting Actor. Look out Worst Support Actress (for "Car 54, Where Are You," "Exit to Eden" and "The Flintstones"): Rosie O’Donnell!

- Since we are now in the March Madness, here is something to think about. The teams listed below are either considered in the tournament or on the bubble, even though they have terrible road records:

Michigan State: 1-8 on the road (the one win was at Penn State which really should not count as a win)
Purdue: 2-8 (wins at Penn State & Northwestern)
Georgia Tech: 1-8
Oklahoma State: 0-7 (probably not on the bubble anymore)
Alabama: 2-7

If a team cannot get close to .500 on the road, I do not think the team deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament.

Fantasy Celebrity League Update

The fantasy celebrity league through Fafarazzi.com is now in day three. I am proud to report that I am in first place thanks almost entirely to Anna Nicole Smith. She is the LaDainian Tomlinson of fantasy celebrity! The other members of my team include Mary J. Blige (who is arguably the steal of the draft as a 7th round pick), Drew Barrymore, Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Grant, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Will Smith. Sienna Miller was originally on my team but I dropped her immediately and she has been banned from the league for conduct detrimental to the league. Miller is essentially Pete Rose. I added Eddie Murphy as a free agent replacement for Miller. Leo, Hugh and Will have been useless for me so far, but with Hugh Grant's movie coming out and the Oscars only a few weeks away, I may keep them on my roster.

I Am A Terrible Person II

Last month, I wrote that I was a terrible person because I took joy in the Baltimore Ravens loss in the playoffs. I may be even worse today. One of my first thoughts when I learned that Anna Nicole Smith passed away was that she is definitely going to be the #1 pick in the Fantasy Celebrity League draft.
