As of this billing period, I’m officially on Wind Energy!

NYSEG is now offering what they call NewWind Energy & even though it costs a little more ($5 for every 200 kilowatt-hours) when you factor in the money I’m saving from using the ever popular fluorescent light bulbs, that alone covers the extra cost.

I think I’ve been in at least 1 big money Fantasy Football League for the last 6 years (meaning I’ve been on my own & not splitting a team with a fat friend from high school named Tank) I think the highest I’ve ever selected was 6th. I can also count one one finger the number of times I’ve won money

I got a call yesterday from the guy running one of the 2 money leagues that I’m in. He tells me that they’re setting up the selections & I have 1st pick. I’m get really excited by this & instantly say that I’ll have #1. He cuts me off & says that I’m not picking the rounds, I’m picking a number from 1-12 that contains where I’ll draft in rounds 1 thru 4. You know how it goes:
1-12-7-6
2-11-6-7
3-10-5-8
etc.

So I say “WHOOP-DEE-DOO” & sarcastically say “I’ll take number 3, as if it matters.”

Well, it did matter, as the #3 card has 1-12-7-6.

Of course, it might as well have just said: LT

I just looked at my trusty Time Warner cable box & I see that CBS has tonight’s Bills preseason game - and that it’s in HD! I find this very surprising after the last few years of CBS’s HD coverage of the NFL where it was pretty much 50/50 if the game was in HD.

CBS lists their NFL Schedule on this page, but you’ll have to bookmark it & check back each week, as I’ve never seen them have more than 2 or 3 weeks of HD programming listed (you’ll see the 3 preseason games they’re airing are in HD, but nothing for the rest of the season)

CBS has been telling people (like me) that they’ll have more games in HD each year (see my CBS HDTV Introduction Post) and I really hope that they can get with the times - like every other major station that airs NFL games - and finally air EVERY game in HD.

3 leagues for me this year - 2 that I care about because there’s money involved & one thru NFL.com that I’m gonna do just for shits & giggles.

Now here’s my problem: how much prep work can you do ahead of time? Meaning that my 1st big draft is Aug 25th I’ve got a couple of places that I go & look up rankings & whatnot, but those change from week to week - especially now that the pre-season games are starting up.

Once guy might be ranked really high at RB now, he might not be that high in 2 weeks when I go to draft.

So I guess I’m looking for some tips as to what kind of prep work other people do when their draft is weeks away.

I know - I suck I’m going to try & get to this a little more often.
