Two Things More Exciting Than The Actual Games

The NFL regular season is upon us, which means two big things over here at 3400 Harriet:

1) My fantasy football team, The Moe Greens, starts its third season of play. Will they be like the 2001 Greens, have a respectable season, and then get hot in the playoffs and win the championship? (Seemingly providing the blueprint for the 2002 University of Minnesota hockey team ...) Or will they be like the 2002 Greens, stumble uninspiringly through the season, and not make the championship bracket of the playoffs? (Seemingly providing the blueprint for the Bush admininstration's handling of the economy ...)

2) Jeff Johnson (no, not him - the other one!) starts his fifth season of mind-blowing pigskin picks. Check these weekly to: a) make money off your bookie, and b) smile big-time.
