Fantasy Football
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!??
The '06 season is heating up. Training camp has begun, rookies are no-shows and a handful of vets are underpaid or overworked.
Isn't it great?
About every time this year I start jonesing for football. Now that I have the NFL channel, my addiction has increased tenfold.
The only way to cure it...Fantasy Football.
I don't why or how, but I've been playing fantasy football for about 9 years. That's pretty bad considering the fact that I turn 24 this year.
I remember my first ever fantasy football selection...Terrell Davis.
What a beast. At the age of 15 I was mopping the floor with supposed old guy experts, twice and three times my age.
Those were the good ol' days. Now there's more pressure to win then ever.
It seems like every company either has a fantasy football publication or game starting up this time of year.
Every major internet provider has one. All the sporting and networks associated with football have leagues at people's disposal.
It's just crazy...and so much fun.
One thing about the blurred fantasy football line is the shift of true "team" fans. Now you have a guy who wants to see the Raiders score a touchdown because they have both Kerry Collins and Randy Moss. And they hate the Raiders. The freaking bandwagon fans are actually Chiefs enthusiasts.
You can't root for a team in the same conference, much less division, or your "team."
But it's just so much fun.
I've started my team on Yahoo. Playing with a bunch of Wa-Hoo's, and hopefully, just like last year, I can win it all in my Yahoo league. The other league I participated in is a whole different store. I couldn't beat my way out of a paper bag with the other team I had.
This year I'm hoping to tone it down a notch...hoping is the key word.
So if anyone is looking to play...I'm the sucker at the paper who can't get enough.
