Masterson's Musings: The Musings that Time (I) Forgot

* I know a grand majority of you bloggers and readers of bloggers take time out of your daily lives to become slaves to the phenomenon known as fantasy football. I am one of those drones. In the three years I've played, this is the first season "I" am really starting to dominate.

A lot of the credit goes to who I believe is the greatest fantasy player in all of football: Tennessee Titans running back Lendale White. This pudgy performer won't slap you with out-of-this-world stats considering he averages 12 carries and 30 yards per game (if you take out his aberration in Week 7 where he somehow racked up 149 yards on 17 carries.) However, White leads the NFL with ten touchdowns in the Titans' seven games and has only been held off the scoreboard in one game thus far.

Oh, and he's from Denver too. 303 represent!

* The return of the Manning Face! It was last seen in the Colts' playoff loss to the Chargers last January, but in the Titans 31-21 lashing of the Colts, Manning was seen on the sideline pursing his lips together with a sorrowful look pasted on his grill. I don't know about you guys, but I missed seeing it.

With Elisha (that's his real name. Look it up) Manning in charge of one of the best teams in football somehow and Peyton seemingly always winning football games until this season, it had sadly escaped us for a while. Let's hope it peeks its head out a few more times in the season's final nine weeks.

* I saw this ad on Craig's List today and thought it to be a bit suspicious:

FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!

All-Star left fielder: hits for average, power, and in clutch situations. Has taken steps to improve defense and is adored by fans and opposing players alike. Occasionally asks to borrow money, but just hold your ground and he'll keep quiet. Answers to Big Daddy.

3rd Baseman with Fankles: Career .298 hitter, normally hits over 20 homers with 100 rbis in a season. Hits in the clutch (this season notwithstanding) and occasionally dives for balls hit to his left. Can play two positions (kinda), and won't rock the boat.

For information call Dealin' Dan or my brother Dealin' Doug.

I dunno.....I just thought it was weird.
