Week 7...
SUNDAY'S HEROES
Each Sunday begins with the same anticipation and excitement as fans all over settle down in front of their 60" plasma TV with HD (okay so we can all dream we do) and get set to watch their favorite player and gridiron warriors do battle all Sunday afternoon. With one eye glued to the tube and the other glued to the computer we watch, we follow, and we note the performances of those men that grace our weekly fantasy lineup. Did they meet the challenge of their foe, did they overcome the adversity, did I win my matchup? These are just a few of the questions we ask every Sunday. One thing is for certain, if our boys fall short they will find our doghouse each week, but if they are up to the task they quickly become our weekly hero!
With more big hits and big plays, and game changing scores in Week 7, heroes emerged! Some with new faces and some familiar as we watched them all get it done Sunday on the gridiron!
Here are your week 7 "Sunday's Heroes!"
