Fantasy Round Trippers

I know that the podcasts have been few and far between. I mean let’s be serious, they have been MIA for a month now. A lot of that is my fault - or all my fault depending how you look at it - but life in the midwest this summer has not been an easy one. Tornadoes followed by torrential downpours followed by flooding would put a kink in anyone’s daily life, let alone the extras we do. On top of that vacationing - well really my wife, child and father-in-law vacationed while I worked - at a hotel that after you pay $209.00 a night they expect $13.00 a day more for internet. In the immortal words of Gob Bluth, “COME ON!!”. Okay now that is out of my system I want to once again contribute to the site with an all-star team of fantasy players that you should have got on the cheap on draft day or off of waivers. Bryan said we should call this the “If you have a bunch of these guys and aren’t in the money, no one on god’s green earth can help you win a championship” Team, but that seemed kind of long for the title of an entry, so here we go…
