We rarely overtly acknowledge fantasy football in this space, even though we realize that a bunch of our visitors and page views result directly from the desire of many of you to thump your cousin, brother-in-law, mailman, minister, and/or dog groomer in the game that completely effs up traditional rooting interests.
We’ll overtly acknowledge fantasy football tonight because Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News has offered up the fantasy football tip of the offseason: “Shonn Greene will have a MONSTER year.”
And Evan Silva of Rotoworld and NBC Sports and PFT, who suddenly can never go to Oakland, has chimed in by saying “Bing!”
That said, the deciding editorial factor in the selection of this specific topic was supplied by the kick-ass photo from Stephen Dunn of Getty Images of Greene mocking new teammate LaDainian Tomlinson during the 2009 playoffs.
We still wonder whether L.T. thinks Greene’s coach is classless. Tomlinson will have plenty of time to ponder that question while he’s sitting on the bench this year, watching Greene do his thing.
