I Love NFL

I love the NFL. Sundays are my favorite day, just relaxing, doing some homework and of course, watching football. Ever since I became involved in the whole Fantasy Football world I have become addicted. I check my statistics almost everyday, and try to make trades and pick up some free agents, so I can increase my win to loss percentage. I am proud to say that I am number one in our fantasy football league. I have never been so proud. haha. What I really love about it, is the fact that I get to rub it in my brothers faces. (At least this year!! haha)


My apartment is a mess of random cheers, and groans on game day. We will all sit in our rooms, or the living room, with our computers and track our fantasy stats. You can always tell who has who by the reactions. This always makes for a very interesting day. And gives us all something to talk about during the week, not to mention the fact that it is the best way to get homework done.


I do miss sitting at home and watching games with the family. I was always just a comforting situation, and now with the new tv it aught to be amazing. Now all I have to do is convince mother to throw a Super Bowl party!! Any help convincing her would be great. haha.

And in the Red Corner...


Hi. I am Dirk. A college kid tryin to make ends meet. I am a full time college student and part time construction worker. Both of which I enjoy doing. I am an avid fan of sports, and pretty much any extreme sport or whatever gives me an adrenaline rush captures my attention.


I was an avid paintballer. My team started out doing a small 3-man weekly tournament in Luverne, MN. We quickly exploded into a 5-man speedball, winning machine. We traveled all over the midwest, tri-state area, and ended up finishing in the runner-up position. We fell into second place, only losing by 3 points. We had a total score of 997/1000. Talk about disappointment.


After shooting thousands of dollars down my barrel, I decided to try racing for a change of pace. My brother and I bought a hobby stock race car. We raced it consistently for an entire summer and did decent. After that summer, we just kind of lost interest in spending money, and not getting any in return.


And, that called for a change once again. This summer I conquered a dream I have always had. I bought a quad of my very own. It has brought me hours and hours of enjoyment, and the rest of the family also. They took it to Wyoming, and came back with one of their very own. Fun, Fun!



I am deciding whether to race quad motocross, or flattrack. It would be great if you guys could help me decide this factor. Any thoughts?
