Playing For The Other Team


Federline would probably drive any woman to the other side

I'm shocked - shocked I tell you - Britney Spears is in the news yet again. As somebody who knows how to use Google Images, I've seen more than enough of Britney Spears, thank you. This time she's on the cover of OK Magazine announcing that: she's a lesbian!

Whoop-dee-doo. Is it possible for this sad, pathetic woman to be any more irrelevant to my life? I'd be far more interested if she was competing for the #3 wide receiver position in Tennessee. (Insert your own "wide receiver" joke here).

However, the Britney news not only allows me to work the word "lesbian" into the post (hello search engines!) but lets me make a bad segue into my list of players who have switched teams. Changing teams in the off-season is a huge factor in how a player will perform, one that is often overlooked or ignored. Fantasy players on new teams to keep your eye on:






Pos

WR

Stallworth, Donte

No. He would've had 70 catches in Miami. Bulger doesn't use the TE nearly as much.
