PTF Fantasy Football Rankings: Tight Ends
By: Holly   
Monday, 11 August 2008
Each day this week, the women here at Playing the Field will be bringing you our best fantasy football advice. We won't do it on a video in skimpy clothes. We won't do it groping each other (at least not that you can see). But you can rest assured that the advice you find here comes from actual female fans who have actually played fantasy ball. A few of us are even champions. Today Holly brings you Tight Ends.

J MoneyIn the most recent issue of ESPN the Magazine, there's an article about snack-sized Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia. The story is illustrated with a crowd shot--taken at last year's World Series--that shows a girl holding a handmade "Team of Dustin-y" sign.  That girl? Me.

MelissaLet It Go, CHB
Dan Shaughnessy is having a hard time letting Manny Ramirez go.  With CHB's pet topic on the other side of the country, he's feeling some intense pangs of sadness.  I'd also be willing to bet he'll still be writing inflammatory articles about Manny 15 years from now.

HollyUCLA Quarterback Injuries: An Unsettling Compendium [EDSBS]

UCLA's Ben Olson has re-injured his surgically repaired foot...while faking a handoff.  Olson joins a long line of Bruins signal-callers with ridiculous injuries.  Who can forget Troy Aikman's hospital stay following the ingestion of a packet of silica gel?

Green Bay quarterback, Aaron Rodgers says he doesn't want our pity, but he is going to get some of mine. The kid in this short YouTube rejected Rodgers' attempt to autograph his football, and as was explained in an article preaching that fans take it easier on Rodgers, another kid told him:

"We don't love you. You suck."Read more

LizzyDear Manny, Let me preface this by saying that watching you play (and act like a total 'tard) has been the highlight of Red Sox baseball for me over the last seven years. The peeing in the monster, running out to left field with a water bottle in your pocket...and my ultimate favorite, Mannyism, which you said on one of the greatest nights of my life, and what I want etched on my headstone someday: "I don't believe in no curses. I believe you make your own destination

Miss Chatter
Miss Chatter Nationals fans either loved or hated Frank Robinson's managing style, but all agree the way he was let go was quite unceremonious for a legendary man of baseball. Will he ever return for the much promised "Frank Robinson Day" at National Park to honor his career and role in bringing the Expos turned Nats to DC? His answer: "Close to never!"

For football fans, the shimmering turf, catching the subtle twitch of a lineman's leg, and knowing before the replay airs if the receiver was still inbounds shines brighter than any diamond ring.

AndreaI'm Mad as Hell...

And I�m going to continue to take it because what else can I really do?  Last night is the perfect example of why the Cardinals should�ve done SOMETHING at the trade deadline for the bullpen.  Chris Carpenter looked amazing.  Granted, he only went 5 innings, but he gave up three hits and no walks, striking out two.  For a guy�s second start since April 1st, 2007, that�s awesome.
