That's Where I Belong and You Belong With Me

Note: Team Nate Low (led by Cole Griffith) defeated Team Jodayyy (led by yours truly) in the Mira, Mira League Championship this past weekend. I hate to do this, but I've allowed Cole to be the first ever guest poster on Running Down a Dream due to improbable victory. What follows is from the mind of Coleman Greer Griffith....


My Victory Speech,

First and foremost, I would like to thank Al Gore because without him inventing the internet me winning this fantasy football championship would not have been possible.


Second, I would like to thank myself. My ability to motivate these players truly reflects my awesomeness as a person. I did not even check on the team for weeks at a time, but every week they would show up and give 100%.


Third, I would like to thank my players.

• Rex Grossman...thank you for believing that you can make any throw possible.


• Tiki Barber...you are gonna retire without a SuperBowl championship, but at least you won a fantasy league.


• Stephen Jackson...you were a freakin beast all year...Don't ever cut your hair.


• Javon Walker...Jay Cutler is gonna make you great.


• Darrell Jackson and Antonio Gates...thanks for showing up the last week, together you produced a total of .7 points. You won't be on my team next year.


• Jeff Wilkins...you better believe that I never checked on my team because I would have benched you for Rob Bironas a long time ago.


• The Pittsburgh defense...you have played like absolute crap except for last week. I expect better from you next year.


• And finally to my bench...I wish I couldn't have gotten you more playing time, but you gotta impress the coach in practice to get playing time.

Fourth, I would like to thank my parents...without yall having me and paying for the internet at our house, this championship would not have been possible.


Fifth, I would like to thank myself again. The ability to balance a job, school, and a fantasy football team is amazing.


Sixth, thanks goes out to Kanye West because without you I would still believe that George W. Bush likes African-Americans.


Seventh, to my competition...congratulations on a great season, but try harder next year.


Also, I would like to wish Joey Mercury a speedy recovery and a happy holiday season! We need you back in the wrestling ring.Thanks to CM Punk for giving me an inspiration to become something in life.


Lastly, I would like to thank myself one more time. Cole, you are great!
