Let's face it, it's NEVER too early to start thinking about fantasy football.  Draft day is always one of my favorite days of the entire year, and we all love our team right after our draft, right? Last year was not a particularly good one for me, in any of my three leagues...

I have been accused of being more negative, than positive, at times - especially when it comes to our Minnesota sports teams.
