Name: CJ
Englander
Age: 46 (way too old to be involved
in this)
Profession: Attorney
Obsession: I believe it is a Men’s
cologne or a woman’s perfume – did I get this question
right?
First Book Read: I am going to discount
the fact that the first book I read was any one of 100’s including
Cat in the Hat, Mouse and the Motorcycle, the Phantom Tollbooth
or Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator and leave this one to true
literature. Big fan of Steinbeck and the Grapes of Wrath as my leading
book of the millennium. I’m pretty sure that if a player named
Joad ever makes the pro ranks, I will be drafting him.
Favorite Players: Defense: S.Merriman
(only because I can’t remember if its Shaun or Shawn); Dick
Butkus; Alan Page; Joe Greene, Lester Hayes, Ronnie Lott and Howie
Long (leaving a whole lot of players I admired off for the sake
of brevity).
Offense: I am not a Raider fan, but…..Marcus Allen and Bo
Jackson lead the list, Gayle Sayers and LT2 (I am a Charger fan).
Latest Accomplishment: I am always
fond of my greatest accomplishment which is that I am still breathing.
Fantasy Football Resume: I am
not sure that having a fantasy football resume on my resume is good
for my resume.
- Commissioned a league for 5 years.
- Numerous championships and/or appearances in championships
(in legitimate competitive leagues – but not the biggies).
I cannot remember the last time I missed the playoffs. Thanks
for allowing me to jinx myself.
- Involved in Fantasy Football since approximately 1999.
- This probably does not need to be said but I refuse to participate
in Yahoo leagues.
- Not a big stat geek. My Attention Deficit Disorder does not
permit me to be the Rainman of stats. If someone tells me that
a running back runs upright with the ball, all that means to
me is that he is evolved.
Additional Football Geekism
- I have attended 2 Super Bowls, 4 conference championship games
and approximately 100 pro football games in my life (living
in Los Angeles really messes with live attendance, unless you
consider USC a pro team, in which case we can double my attendance
numbers).
- Love to see games in different locations and have been to
many stadiums including virtually every AFC West and NFC West
stadium, except Seattle and Arrowhead (tears in my eyes on this
one).
- When I was a little kid, Rams Fearsome Four member Rosie
Grier (yeah the same guy who O.J. didn’t confess to) turned
me on to needlepoint. That lasted all of two days.
Favorite Part of Fantasy Football:
Getting in the right league where the participants are passionate
but not overzealously serious about fantasy football.
