My wife's team is better than mine

I doubt I can manage like the husband and wife team of Mike Miazga and Kris Herigodt by competing in the same league with my spouse. My wife and I each have fantasy football teams, but in different leagues. She's in a Yahoo league with coworkers.

We don't talk about our teams much. I prefer it that way. One common rule of fantasy you often hear is to not tell others about your team. No one wants to hear about your team, the refrain goes. And so it goes, until I'm giddy with excitement. I can't help myself gushing in my two-games-over-.500 glory when I turn to my wife willing to share my 5-3 record with her. Certainly she will be impressed by my fantasy football glory.

So I turn to her. "How'd your team do today?" I say to her.

"We did pretty well."

"What's your team's record?"

"Six-and-2," she responds.

Well, done, hun. Well done.

I was in the room when she did her online draft just a couple of days before the Saints' NFL season opener. I remember she took Brees No. 1, Manningham at some point in the draft, and consulted with me before taking the Ravens defense. Oh, and she selected LaGarrette Blount. I have no idea who is still remaining on her team. We don't talk about rosters.

My wife is awesome.
