Rock.

Hello. Welcome to a giant fantasy rundown. I saw this survey labeled “Reality Check” by Matthew Berry on ESPN’s site. I thought it would be a cool idea if I answer all of the questions he answered and measure up to him in January of 2011 (if I make it). I’m also going to try to keep the answers related to the sports that he used, even when the questions don’t state it! Look, mom! I’m unbiased! Lastly, I’ll be adding commentary because face it, Matthew Berry isn’t funny.

Your fondest sports wish for 2010 is:
Deciding between Chris Johnson’s leg injury and a winning season from the Giants

Why will this happen/not happen?
It’s just f-cking got to, man.

Any sport, who is your biggest sleeper pick for 2010?
Darren McFadden

Any sport, which player do you fear will let you down, but you feel compelled to keep drafting him anyway?
Aubrey Huff

Which player has let you down one too many times and is now “dead to you”?
Braylon Edwards

Let’s talk Football

Who will be …

… The first quarterback drafted in fantasy football leagues? Peyton Manning
… The first running back? Chris Johnson but don’t take him because of the effing leg injury.
… The first wide receiver? Gah, WRs sucked this year. Andre Johnson
… The first rookie? Does Suh play offense? Well, then…Dez Bryant
… The NFL MVP? With all this talk, Darrell Revis. But seriously, I say Peyton Manning
… The fantasy football MVP (most value for draft position)? Felix Jones
… Fantasy football’s leading scorer? Aaron Rodgers

The Name Game …
Which player would you rather draft in 2010?

Frank Gore or Ray Rice? Ray Rice even though Gore will bounce back.
Terrell Owens or LaDainian Tomlinson? LT because TO faded much faster.
DeSean Jackson or Brandon Marshall? DeSean Jackson. Really this is just to kiss ass to AJ Daulerio because AJ is all over those nuts.
Vernon Davis or Antonio Gates? Antonio Gates. Always take a perennial all-star over a once upon a time break out season
Jay Cutler or Kyle Orton? Jay Cutler. Always take a risky pick over a game manager. Hopefully this is your second QB
Fred Jackson or Jonathan Stewart? Jonathan Stewart. The Panthers should dish one of these guys for a QB.
Knowshon Moreno or Beanie Wells? Knowshon Moreno if he can stop eating all those BUTTERFINGERS! HIOOOO!!!!
Shonn Greene or LeSean McCoy? According to my friend, Greene is the next Walter Payton. According to me? Pffffttttt. McCoy.
Miles Austin or Roddy White? Miles Austin. This guy is a stud. Raw talent.
Steve Smith or Steve Smith? NYG. Homer pick. Eff off.

Yovani Gallardo or Josh Johnson? Josh Johnson
Prince Fielder or Ryan Howard? Prince Fielder
Adam Lind or Josh Hamilton? Josh Hamilton. He shouldn’t be a failure again or it’s back to the drugs.
