The Chemical Bowl

Boyfriend and I are playing each other in fantasy football this week. The 'Nukes take on the Adamantane Assault in the Chemical Bowl* in about 40 minutes. Leading the charge on my end are the always-present Tom Brady and Wes Welker, along with Dwayne Bowe and Steve Breaston (bye week replacement). At running back, we have Beanie "I'm Not Sick But I'm Not" Wells and San Diego fullback Mike Tolbert, who appears to be the new valedictorian in the Joseph Addai School of Goal-Line Powerbacking. I'm starting Tony Moeaki at tight end this week. Readers will recall my love-hate affair with this position last year. It's very firmly "hate" this year, as my team seems to have collapsed like a house of cards the minute Dallas Clark was placed on IR. And I have Robbie Gould at kicker and the Saints' defense. Against Carolina.

Official Boyfriend of Second and One is starting Carson Palmer, Pierre Garcon, Dez Bryant, Marques Colston, Ahmad Bradshaw, Willis McGahee, Jeremy Shockey, Neil Rackers, and the Jets' D. It's predicted to be a big shootout, but knowing the way our predicting algorithm works this season (read as: not very well), neither of us will get off the ground.

*Boyfriend is also an organic chemist. "Adamantane" is a funny-shaped, oddly greasy molecule and has nothing to do with him "adamantly" insisting that he's going to win this game.
