We just got our teams together today for our Fantasy Football League the teams are as follows:
Team 1 : Patrick and Perkins
Team 2 : Jamel and Piotrowski
Team 3: Fox and McGlone
Team 4: Hill and Rusinosk
Team 5: Leone and Bezerra
Team 6: Harrison and Lance
Team 7: Thomas and Stevanovic
Team 8: Carlson and Whitlock
Team 9: Nicholson and Wesala
Team 10 (And most likely future champion): Mr. Holder
Students will need to come up with a name and a city for their teams (Names should be appropriate for school). They will then need to evaluate and rank players for tomorrow's draft. They will have time in class tomorrow to work on that.
Remember that the League is on Yahoo Fantasy sports and the league ID # is 754997 and the Password is RedHawks and it is case-sensitive.
Good Luck (You'll need it)

First Day
Great first day. Looks like we've got a great group of kids.
Today we just took attendance and discussed what the classes are about. I also passed out a hard copy of the syllabus to every class except for my 6th hour Intro to Marketing Class. (Sorry guys. I'll have copies for all of you tomorrow.)
School Store kids need to bring in ideas for our "Red Alert" t-shirts. Each student needs to have at least one idea. Hopefully we can get those ordered this week.
Sports and Entertainment - We will be going over the syllabus tomorrow and setting up teams and getting ready for our fantasy football draft.

Intro to Marketing
Hope you had a great summer!
How can you really screw up summer?
Looking forward to teaching you all about how marketing really is the driving force in the U.S. economy. I think you're really going to like this class.
I've put a copy of the syllabus in Google Docs.

Counting Down
OK. I think I'm ready. School starts on Tuesday, and yes, I am ready to get going. I really do dig my job.
Alex's freshman football team at Adams is 1-1. Couldn't finish the first game agains Clarkston, but ran away with yesterday's game against Farmington.
The Makos are 0-2. It's been a rough start but the kids are working hard for the most part, and the ones that aren't, are now beginning to learn what hard work is.
The Red Hawks are 1-0 with a big game against Pontiac tonight. I really think they're going to have a great season.
All of that said, it's time to start school. I'm really looking forward to seeing the students again. I just got a text message from one of my favorite students, and a former player asking if she could observe my class to fulfill a requirement for on of her teacher education classes at Oakland. What a thrill. That's my bonus. It doesn't come in the form of a check or a new car. It's just a great feeling when a kid tells you that you did a good job and that they appreciate what you've done for them. Those are the bonuses that I get. I love it.
It's time. Let's get started

Football Season
Excited about football season. My oldest son Alex is playing his first year of football at Adams High School. Go Highlanders!!! (No offense Redhawk faithful) My 11 year old, Nick, is playing for the Auburn Hills Makos. Fear the Bite!!! I will be the head coach this year which has been a bit of a struggle to get started. I'm not a football coach, but I'm learning. Toughest sport I've ever coached. Gonna need some help from Coach Hep.
Spartys are looking to be a pretty formidable competitor in the Big 10. I'm thinking about getting tickets to the game against Florida Atlantic at Ford Field.
