Liberal Left Fantasy Football

No the title is not wrong I am proposing my 2006 Liberal Left Fantasy Football Team. This has stemmed from my friend Arbusto's blog and the specific conversation here, here, here, here, and lastly here. So without further ado here it goes:

QB: Peyton Manning
Reasoning: Actually was a toss-up between McNabb and Manning. McNabb, a minority, clearly only got the position due to affirmative action. But ultimately it is Peyton's never-ending spreading of the wealth that earns him the spot. Peyton has thrown 8 TDs to 6 different receivers this year and only one to his favorite target Marvin Harrison. It is this equal distribution of wealth to all of his teammates including 4 to TEs, 2 of thos going to the backup Fletcher.

RB: Edgerin James
Reasoning: Is there any better example of someone giving up everything he has to go work for a charity organization? Edge gave up working with Peyton, Harrison, and Wayne to go work with Leinart and the Cardinals offensive line. What Edge did takes great sacrifice and thus makes him the fruntrunner for RB on the Liberal Left Fantasy Football team.

RB: Frank Gore
Reasoning: Is there a more Liberal Left town than San Francisco? Enough said. Close second: Laurence Maroney, same reasoning only New England.

WR: Marvin Harrison
Reasoning: At age 34, Marvin Harrison represents the senior citizens of football. He is on the team to voice concern over his social security and retirement benefits that the government may not be able to pay him.

WR: Terrel Owens
Reasoning: Prescription drugs are costly these days, and with Owens taking so many he is obviously concerned about their price.

WR: Jerry Porter
Reasoning: Even though he hasn't played all year, he is on the team. In fact that is why he is on the team. He is collecting his paycheck and not even playing. He is not injured, sick, or handicapped. He is just collecting his wellfare.

TE: Marques Colston (cheating a bit here but he is still considered a TE under Yahoo fantasy football)
Reasoning: Young, minority, and representing New Orleans. He is rebuilding that city TD by TD.

K: Robbie Gould
Reasoning: Well he could be playing for either the Liberal Lefts or the Righteous Righties because he is neither wide left or wide right; he is always straight down the middle.

Defense: New England Patriots
Reasoning: Basically the same as Frank Gore at RB. Rather than having one New Englander though (Maroney), why not have a whole team from Ted Kennedy's home state.

Honorable Mention: Troy Vincent
Reasoning: Although he is an individual defensive player (S), he was unemployed (just hired), old at 35, black, and head of the NFL Players Association For the last reason alone he should be put on the Liberal Left Fantasy Football Team.
