Yet another weekend assignment:
I'm really not someone who gives or seeks advice all that often, and almost all of what I have given has been OK and received has been excellent.
Worst advice I ever gave: this is easy. A few years ago a friend asked me who he should draft as his fantasy league quarterback-Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf (both were rookies). I told him to take Leaf, because he was going to be a star, while Manning was going to be average at best.
Worst advice ever received: As a former King of unrequited love (I will pause here so that you may dry your tears............) more than a few people suggested I not express my feelings to the object(s) of my affection. Well intended, I'm sure, but I wasted a hell of a lot of time waiting for someone in the dark to see the light, while all the bulbs were burned out.
Wow, that was a really horrible metaphor. My supreme apologies.

OMG. I've given some bad love advice and taken some bad love advice so I know how you feel. Love your blog. If you want to see mine here's the link.
lol... I ALMOST drafted Ryan Leaf that year in my fantasy league... I had the #2 pick, and #1 took Leaf. I took Manning. I traded him 2 years later for Warner (when Warner was at his peak) and a receiver. Now Warner has been a dud for two years, but I still have the pleasure of bragging that I knew enough to draft Manning! haha. Lisa (jlreynolds)
