I may date myself here, but I loved the song Bling Bling by Lil Wayne in college. I actually went to see the Cash Money Rough Rider Tour in Rochester.

Everytime I come around yo' city

Everytime I buy a new ride

Now Lil Wayne is writing a blog for ESPN and it has become very popular. I can’t believe I am writing this about Lil Wayne, but he has one of the most amusing blogs that I have read in a long time. He watches the amount of sports I would love to watch if not for the JOB and the soon to be wife.

 

Wayne pulled a move in Fantasy that because of my allegiance to the Steelers I did not do and I wish I would have done. If you check out the quote below from Wayne’s blog it explains everything. Little Wayne wrote, “ I won my fantasy football match-up this week, by the way. I slayed 'em 79-43. I'm 3-1 now. They still don't know it's me, even though I use my real name, Dwayne Carter, on there. Even if there's a guy who knows who I am, he's probably looking at that and going, yeah, whatever. I still feel like it was a good call to drop Roethlisberger. This week I started Campbell from the Redskins, and that was great.”

 

You see I dropped Campbell after he had an abysmal first week and picked up Matt Cassel. Now as I look back on it I should have picked up Eddie Royal who is having a great year. Basically I made some bad decisions to begin the season.  It is a keeper league so I kept Ryan Grant, thinking Brett Farve was coming back only to have him end up with the Jet’s. What I should have done was kept Earnest Graham and I would be looking at actually winning a few games this year. I also kept Heinz Ward and Roethlisberger which were decent decisions going into the season only to have basically every healthy running back on the Steelers go down. Now I am left with a completely depleted team.

 

A bright spot could have been Wes Walker and Matt Cassel but Cassel looks like he has not started a came since high school.  Wait he hasn’t started a game since high school until Brady got injured.  My other flyer was Kevin Curtis who is now officially doing nothing but collecting dust on the bench of the Eagles.  

 

Basically my season is over and maybe I should start taking my fantasy advice from Lil Wayne because I am never going to get the Bling Bling doing it on my own clearly.

Lil Wayne I am guessing has a ghost writer or at least someone doing some editing. That article is incredibly well written. I will give him this well doing a little research. He was enrolled in the gifted schools when he was younger in New Orleans. See below from Wiki.



Lil Wayne was born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. and grew up in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. Carter enrolled in the gifted program of Lafayette Elementary School and in the drama club of Eleanor McMain Secondary School. At age eleven, he met Bryan Williams, rapper and owner of Cash Money Records. Lil Wayne recorded freestyle raps on Williams' answering machine; Williams would eventually mentor the young Carter and include him in Cash Money-distributed songs. He dropped out of school at age 14 but later earned his GED. When he was 12, he played the part of the Tin Man in his middle school drama club's production of The Wiz.

LOL...I just find it very amusing that Lil Wayne is writing a blog for ESPN now. Even though I do have to admit that most of the decisions he made with Fanstasy Football were pretty thought out decisions. But I just think this is a fast attempt for ESPN to get more people to their website. Maybe Lil Wayne has a ghost writer because I do not think he actually has time to sit down and write a blog
