Fantasy Football

When I was high school I was in line to sign up for football try outs. I was so skinny they just laughed and told me to wait a couple years until I filled out. They wouldn't let me sign up.

So my revenge on being shunned by playing football is playing fantasy football...well isn't really revenge...not even the relieving of a dream really...growing up I played soccer....so technically that is my revenge...or when I hear someone yell gggoooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll

anyway it's that time of year again. The funny thing is I was never into football growing up. I didn't know how the game was played nor did I watch. Didn't follow the broncos even though I met a few while working at Chuck E Cheese (One day I will tell the sad but funny tale of how Chucky E Cheese was beat up by John Elway's kids). I just never got on the football fan bus and over the years I noticed everyone else has.

It's funny how you get into something and it opens up doors. It is easier to talk with some guys when you have something in common or something to talk about. I can finally watch a game with my dad and have something to say besides "Is there anything else on?". And it allows for competition and every man to enjoy the thing men enjoy more then most things...winning.

I started playing fantasy football because I wanted to learn more about the sport and the players. Now I just want to win...

...and come up with crazy team names. I have a team named Mad Koala Bombs and another team called Naked Burrito Monsters...and they shall WIN!!!!!!!
