Introducing Your 2008-2009 Duluth Dominators

The Duluth Dominators participated in its annual Fantasy Football Draft tonight with a bunch of my Penn buddies (only about half of which still live in Philadelphia...but trash-talking online is one good way to keep in touch). I'm the defending champion and I'm going all-out to defend my title.

The 2008-2009 starting lineup looks like this:

QB: Matt Hasselback, Seattle Seahawks: Consistently puts up big numbers in a West Coast, pass-heavy offense.
RB: Marshawn Lynch, Buffalo Bills: Scarily I just found out that Marshawn has his own blog, and if you want to see some truly atrocious spelling, check it out.
RB: Ryan Grant, Green Bay Packers: He had great numbers the 2nd half of the year, and with Favre gone GB may have to rely more on the running game.
WR: Chad Johnson, Cincinatti Bengals: The guy legally changed his last name to "Ocho Cinco" today--how could I pass that up? He is clearly destined for a monster season.
WR: Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams: He's still the #1 receiver for St. Louis and in my opinion a great deal for a 4th rounder.
TE: Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts: He doesn't rack up the yards, but gets a lot of TD passes (which counts for a lot) from ever-consistent QB Payton Manning.
K: Nate Kaeding, San Diego Chargers: Above-average kicker.
DEF: Green Bay Packers: Without Favre the Green Bay defense will have to step up.
