When Idiots Attack - Fantasy Football Edition

[imb]

Apparently anyone can write about Fantasy now that it's popular.

 

Last Sunday's Tulsa World had a full page dedicated to fantasy football, and these are the writer's (Jason Collington) rankings.

 

QB

1 - Peyton Manning - Duh

2 - Drew Brees

3 - Tony Romo - ????????

4 - Carson Palmer

5 - Jon Kitna - Is this a joke?

6 - Matt Leinart

7 - Marc Bulger

8 - Matt Hasselbeck

9 - Donovan McNabb

10 - Tom Brady

 

Kitna five spots ahead of Brady? Romo ahead of Carson Palmer? What in the hell? Well, the running back rankings can't be that bad, can they?

 

RB

1 - LDT

2 - Steven Jackson

3 - LJ

4 - Shaun Alexander

5 - Reggie Bush

6 - Ahman Green - GUH?

7 - Travis Henry

8 - Joseph Addai - Funston's Big Board has him 4th...OVERALL

9 - Jamal Lewis

10 - Frank Gore - Funston has him sixth overall

 

Guys like Green, Henry and Lewis ahead of Westbrook, Willie Parker, Rudi Johnson and Stiff Arm Maroney? You've heard the names Clinton Portis and Maurice Jones-Drew, correct? He doesn't have them in his top thirty

. Ronnie Brown? 25th best running back according to this guy, or, eleven spots behind Lamont Jordan.

 

His Wide Receiver rankings aren't as bad. Though he did wait till No. 7 to list Torry Holt, who he claims "disappeared all last year". He put Reggie Wayne at No. 11, and I don't think anyone else in the world doesn't see him as a top-10 wideout. The real shocker of his list? No. 21 Wes Welker, ahead of Braylon Edwards, Laveraneus Coles, Hines Ward, Calvin Johnson, Plax, Chris Chambers and Mark Clayton.

 

When he does his tight ends, it gets all kinds of wonky. At No. 1 he has Antonio Gates, who even your mother would put at the top spot. Then he has Jason Witten at No. 2, ahead of Shockey (3), Heap (4), Cooley (5), Tony Gonzales (6), Vernon Davis (7), Kellen Winslow (8).

Jamal Lewis lost a step 3 years ago. At best, he's the 30th ranked RB.

I actually have Brady as my #2 QB this year. Cincy's schedule is brutal.

I wish he were in my fantasy league. I'd like to play against him.

The Tulsa World is a joke. I'm calling the editor.

UPDATE TIME

 

Apparently, the Tulsa World readers are as dumb as this guy is.

 

He ran a little column thing today, talking about who's moving up and who's moving down. Then he mentioned that he took a lot of e-mail flak for having Romo ahead of....Philip Rivers.

 

Uhh, guys, what about having Romo ahead of Palmer and Brady?

kitna may very well be a top 5 QB, since he plays for a mike martz offense that has very good receivers. Plus they'll be behind a lot, and needing to throw. But putting Tony Romo as the #3 QB is a joke. Looking at how he ranked Romo and Witten, he may be a Cowboys homer. And Ahman Green ahead of Henry, Alexander, Gore and Parker is mind-boggling.

i'm looking at the website now, and he has a "let somebody else draft them" list. Two players on the list are Tom Brady and Willis McGahee. ](*,)
