I've highlighted my performance in my local ESPN radio affiliate's fantasy baseball comptetition. This is all Ryan Howard as picks had to be made in April. A time when only Phillies fans (of which there are a paucity in hampton Roads) would have chosen Ryan. I'm now in first in the league.
I started well with my football league winning with a basic cross section of scoring from all positions.
My survival football league went fine as my pick of Arizona went pretty smoothly (and i'm glad i used them early before Kurt Warner gets hurt).
College pick 'em i've only missed one game in two weeks (i picked PSU over ND so that was quite a miss). But that league is luck for me. i don't know much about college football.
Pro Pick 'em I got demolished. Really bad start there.
Salary Football I also got demolished as i went cheap with players like Walli Lundy and spent money on Randy Moss. Neither worked out.

League of Integrity
Most people have dabbled with the traditional draft based fantasy football. Some active fantasy footballers position themselves in 2,3 or 4 leagues. I admit that this was something I did for a few years. THe problem, however, arose when I would find myself losing in one league because Randy Moss scored a TD. However, in ANOTHER league Randy Moss was on my team so i was happy. This mix was not enjoyable to me.
I also don't enjoy the feeling after positioning yourself for a strong victory in your league only to hear the vanquished owner state. Well, in my OTHER league I .....
For those that enjoy this. Game on.
But to steal from Mike & Mike's jargon on filling out NCAA brackets. I choose to play one league of integrity. I choose one league that is my primary league and I play it. Now I do have another team with some friends to maintain connection there but I will always point to my primary team as my League of Integrity. My fantasy output this year will raise and fall with these players not in my ability to enter enough leagues that i'm bound to win one.
The way i feed my insatiable appetite for more fantasy sport competitions. I play different games. I will highlight them here on this site this week. Salary Cap, Survival, Pick 'ems. Each has a different strategy for victory.
