From America's leading news source -- The Yahoo! Fantasy Sports Post-Its:

"BuffaloBills.com reports Buffalo Bills QB Drew Bledsoe has been named the team's 2004 Walter Payton Man of the Year. This award began in 1970 and honors players who demonstrate outstanding balance in their lives between civic and professional responsibilities. Bledsoe was recognized for his active participation in community relations programs and his organization called Parenting With Dignity, which assists parents in raising responsible children."

OK, so here's what I'm wondering. If I'm playing fantasy football and, God forbid, Drew Bledsoe is my starting quarterback, why in the name of Mike Mularkey would I need to know this about him? How does it help me and my team? I now know that Bledsoe is a nice guy, a generous guy, and basically isn't a douche bag.

Great. What's that have to do with fantasy football?

I'll bet you $20 this note was either written by a woman or a bastard Patriots fan who felt like rubbing in the fact that the Bills have nothing to cheer about this year except Drew Bledsoe winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

"Hey, your team sucked gorilla balls this season, but at least your quarterback's a nice guy."

Yeah. Thanks. You're a funny guy.
