Todd's big fantasy

Points leader wins again

Don Wolfe's insider fantasy football team, Rochacha Jets, maintained its two-game lead in first place, and overall lead in points, by winning its Week 9 game.

"I knew from the very beginning that my team was solid and was going to be hard to beat," says Wolfe, a Rochester resident. "All you can do is keep looking at the matchups and pick the players you think give you the best chance to win."

For Wolfe it's easy to pick a starting lineup with players like New England wide receiver Randy Moss, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo, San Diego running back LaDainian Tomlinson and Dallas tight end Jason Witten, who scored a combined six touchdowns in Week 9.

Green Bay wide receiver Greg Jennings also came up big by scoring two touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs.

In second place, it's the commissioner's own team, the Marquette Warriors (yup, that's my team). Rookie running backs Adrian Peterson of Minnesota and Buffalo's Marshawn Lynch, scored a combined five touchdown and ran for more than 450 yards last week.

Also, J.P. Losman got the spot start at quarterback and threw for nearly 300 yards and a touchdown.

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.
