Hurt by injuries

Despite injuries to two of his top players, Omar Al-Sinjari's insider Fantasy Football team won it's Week 7 game.

It didn't hurt that Al-Sinjari's starting quarterback is New England's Tom Brady. Brady's stat line this week: 354 yards and six touchdowns.

"Tom Brady's performance has been amazing this year," says Al-Sinjari. "He's on fire. I think he will break Peyton (Manning's) touchdown mark."

Al-Sinjari played Kenny Watson, who got the start over injured Cincinnati running back Rudi Johnson. Watson rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns. Al-Sinjari owns both players, as well as Denver wide receiver Javon Walker, who didn't play due to an injury.

Also on Al-Sinjari's team are Denver wide receiver Brandon Marshall, Philadelphia running back Brian Westbrook, Dallas wide receiver Patrick Crayton, Atlanta running back Jerious Norwood, Chicago tight end Desmond Clark, Cleveland kicker Phil Dawson and the Miami Dolphins defense.

"I'm not out of it yet," Al-Sinjari says. "I need some players to get healthy, and (I) need to add some depth at wide receiver. My receiving core is hurting right now, but hopefully Javon Walker will come back and blow up."

I'm Todd and I do some of the behind-the-scenes work at insider, from reading stories and designing pages to working the calendars, posting stuff online and being a general pain in the ass to my co-workers. And no, I don't sell ads or bring coffee to my boss.

I grew up in Irondequoit, graduated from Eastridge High School, and now live in the city. I'm a huge fan of the Buffalo Bills, New York Yankees and Marquette University, where I graduated from college and learned about the Milwaukee Brewers, the Bucks, Al McGuire, SummerFest, Happy Days, Jeffrey Dahmer, among other things. I've run a half-marathon, finished a triathlon and play I softball at Cobbs Hill. I've also been to countless baseball, football and basketball games (some of which I referee).

I started an insider fantasy football league to play fantasy sports at work without getting into trouble. Please don't tell the boss. :)

If you disagree with me about anything I write, that's good. And if you agree, you're probably in the minority. Float me a note in the comment section, e-mail me at Todd's e-mail, or call 258-9883.

Peace.
