speaking of sports geeks

how does this score on the geek/nerd/dork scale? the fact that i submitted a question to espn’s fantasy football column? or the fact that i got it answered?

Mike, San Francisco: With Byron Leftwich going down, I could pick up David Garrard, but with Trent Green and Jake Delhomme as backups, I think I’m fine. However, I’m a little more worried about my Jacksonville defense, as they might be on the field longer and give up more points. Should I instead look into picking up a free agent defense like Minnesota, Tennessee or Miami?

Engel: Green and Delhomme haven’t been dependable, but they are both more proven than Garrard, so stick with those two QBs while playing the matchups the rest of the way. Garrard will keep the Jaguars’ offense moving respectably, though, and the ground game will continue to be effective. Plus, Jacksonville has an easy schedule during the final few weeks. So don’t worry about the defense getting overworked. Tennessee and Miami both have major defensive holes. But it’s worth it to add the Vikings, who have scored 61 ESPN.com fantasy points over the past four games, and use them over the Jaguars. But keep Jacksonville’s defense in case Minnesota starts to slide again.

or the fact that i used my cat’s name to submit the question, which they promptly misspelled/corrected?
