It's a Fantasy World


I drafted my fantasy football team on Friday. I snagged Philip Rivers as my Quarterback and Steven Jackson as my Running Back. I don't know who they are either, but they better put up or shut up because I'm building my team around them. Oh, you're surprised. I don't seem like the football type. Well, you are right aside from an awesome Aggie True Blue Football game. I'm not a huge fan, especially of the NFL. BUT...I AM a fan of FANTASY FOOTBALL.

The benefits:
  • Whooping on some die hard football fans with my unconventional look at drafting.
  • Learning a few football players so I can carry on a conversation with my brother in law.
  • Griping about which QB is a flop this year and bragging rights on snagging the best wide receiver.
You get to manager of your own team of players taken from different real life teams. They gather points each week depending on their real life stats. You can trade, bench and what not with all your players. What's really great is that it seems like those that start out without a clue often get great teams and whoop those that spend hours researching the best players.

When I read the sentence "You know you want to do it," I thought to myself, "Surely I don't." No football for me, but I'll enjoy your enthusiasm!

Brenda: I giggled when I read your comment "surely I don't". I thought I'd want to do it one year when Kathryn enticed me, but I found I had absolutely no interest in it - I'd much rather just watch a real game.

Kat: I actually watched Philip Rivers and Steven Jackson playing yesterday - just don't ask me who they were playing for. I was just watching watching whatever was on TV, which isn't much on a non-cable TV on a Saturday. I like your non-conventional draft though :)

I too am a Aggie True Blue football fan - do ya think they'll win 1 or 2 this year?

Brenda--Funny.

Sharon--I have no idea who Philip Rivers or Steven Jackson play for either.

And YES we should do much better with football this year. We finally got rid of our long string of Eyeore coaches...at least I hope.

Okay, I am with Brenda on this one. My first thought was...Oh, I so do not want to do this!

I really enjoy that you like it so much!

I grew up painfully watching football with my brothers and Dave is a die hard. Anything football makes me want to vomit...sorry for the harsh word on your blog.

It all sounds like a foreign language to me. If I learned it, I'd have nothing in common with the hubby.

Ha Ha...you guys are making me laugh. I'm actually not surprised I have not takers. ;)
