Friday Night Football

Hello there,

Not much time for baseball today as I am gearing up for my first fantasy football podcast over at BlogTalkRadio.com tonight at 11:30PM ET.  The show, called Friday Night Football, will be an half-hour long and I invite you to tune in and check out some good, solid fantasy football talk.

As much as I love baseball, and more specifically fantasy baseball, I have actually been participating in fantasy football longer and have won more cash in football leagues.  I employ the same basic style of aggressive, highly active involvement, but there is a huge difference between fantasy baseball and football.

For example, there are times when it is actually far better to lose in fantasy football.  Wha?  Lose?  Yes, you read me right.  I'll touch on that and other fantasy football strategies on the show.

By the way, did any of you take my advice and scoop up Marlon Byrd?  He had another nice game last night.  Don't wait until the masses get wind of him, as this time of the year a hot player, even for a week or two, can be huge.  Keep an eye on a few Nats' players to, like Willie Harris, who has nice player flexibility in most leagues, and Lastings Milledge who brings some decent speed/pop to a 5th OF spot.

I claimed Harris off of waivers because of his versatility and upcoming trip to Colorado.  Now is the time to pay attention to schedules.  Players headed to Coors Field and Rangers Ballpark in Arlington need to be scooped up if they have even a decent shot at playing time.

Okay, I'm off to prepare for the football show tonight.  Have a great weekend!
