‘Twas the day before Christmas and all through cyberspace, people were checking their fantasy teams and getting braced,
For that moment of truth in the final week,
Are you still above water? Or starting to leak?
Why, you scream, did you draft Larry Johnson,
When you could have had that old quarterback in Wisconsin?
And why didn’t you draft the Adrian Peterson that wears purple and yellow
Instead of Ronnie Brown, Stephen Jackson or that Frank Gore fellow?
And who knew that Tom Brady would flirt with perfection
And put up better numbers than LaDainian Tomlinson?
Randy Moss was well behaved this year, as was T.O.
Jon Kitna was great, until he forgot how to throw.
The Jaguars ran as if they were pulling Santa’s sleigh,
And just about everyone on the Browns became a good play.
It’s the night before Christmas, the season is done,
And you’re trying to remind yourself why fantasy football is fun.
