![]() Name: Chris Rito Home: Martinsville, IN Credentials: A member of the Pro Football Writers' Association, I am best known as the fearless prognosticator on the fantasy football fortunes of the Indianapolis Colts and feature writer for FFMastermind and other publications. In my fourth year as a member of FanEx I proudly claim myself as the 11-5 defending Lombardi Division champions and the Email Conference runner up. In my 10th season of playing FFL with six championships and many other championship game appearances and scoring titles, and a lifetime .662 winning percentage with only one losing season ever. Key to FF success: Never be satisfied with your team; even the best draft ed squad can be improved with a little tinkering. Always be more informed than your opponents, even to the point of knowing them as well as they know themselves. Quote: There is no offseason! Pre-game ritual: For playing, it is always a little reflective time in silent prayer. For watching, it is making sure that enough snacks, drinks, and remote controls are handy so that I don't have to get up off my duff from right after church until the Sunday night game is done. Sex or football: Ummm.....why not both? Maybe even sex while watching football! Maybe even sex with a ...ahhh...strike that one. I had to quit playing football for real before I could start having sex, so I really can't make the direct comparison. I abstain...I mean, "I pass" Favorite Players/Team: Barry Sanders and Marshall Faulk. Sanders is pure excitement whenever he touched the ball, and Marshall can do it all. When I was a kid Fred Biletnikoff was my idol on the field because he NEVER missed a catch. Never liked a particular team real well; I guess that makes me the perfect fantasy player (no biases). Favorite team? Whoever is playing Dallas! If I were Paul Tagliabue for a day: Make the Bucs, Broncos and Chargers go back to their old uniforms and fire Art Modell and Al Davis from the space shuttle directly into the center of the sun. Dream Job: NBA head coach or 2nd base for the Cubs Best call of 2000: "The Saints will be an above average fantasy team in 2000" Blake/Brooks, Ricky (pre injury) and Joe Horn made a lot of folks happy last year. Favorite FF Team Name: Mexican Staring Frogs of Southern Sri Lanka Why I'd be a great real NFL GM: The press conferences would be a hoot! Imagine Bill Polian with an even more sarcastic streak....as if I were the love child of Robin Williams and Bobby Beathard (ewww......) Ginger or MaryAnn? Ummm....why not both? Which one likes football? Sex during football? Seriously...gotta be Mary Ann. Besides the fact that I am tired of high-maintenance women, I gotta thing for brunettes. |
