Robert Meachem: Biggest Badass in the North by paulsee

As every fun-loving, sports-craving, game-crazy person in the US, I am a proud fantasy football player.  I love watching every game that I can in order to be the first to see the torrential beatdown I’m inflicting upon my opponent.  I get caught up in the action of my fantasy games as if they are real sporting events.  Sometimes this results in insulting comments, but I don’t particularly care.  As previously stated: I am a proud fantasy football PLAYER, and I play to win.

Everyone on the internet has opinions on which fantasy style wins games, but regardless of play-style you more than likely have to make a few trades to keep your team current.  I mean, lets face it, Clinton Portis has been practically running away from the endzone all season, and how were you supposed to know that the Saints changed kickers in week 13?  Those bastards.

Similar circumstances lead to my pickup of Robert Meachem, a WR for the saints, who is a badass. He is absolutely that “take your recliner out of the recline position” type of exciting.  Right when the Saints were starting to look like they might go undefeated, and their opponents were starting to focus on some of the key offensive stars, Meachem comes out with “guns ablazin” so to speak.  I guess it’d be more like “legs ablazin” but that doesn’t really have the same ring to it.

Regardless, Meachem has now had a TD in every game since week 9, including this past week where he scored two.  The icing on the “badass cake?”  Meachem scored a TD as a defensive player.  That’s right.  On an intercepted pass from Drew Brees, Meachem followed the play and walked right up to Redskin’s Safety Kareem Moore and snatched the ball right back, resulting in a TD.  It was… impressive.  Yahoo had a bit of a problem scoring the TD, first calling it offesne, then defense, then offense again.  It’s not like my game was on the line or anything…

I wish I could find pictures, but the internet isn’t THAT good.  Apparently.  Regardless: if Meachem is open in your league, then stop whatever you’re doing and go pick him up.  He may just be the badass you need to get to the superbowl.
