Five years ago I thought Fantasy Football was a waste of time. Today, I still believe it is a waste of time, but, it is fun. Habit forming might be a better description. It's a way for us former jocks to compete with the young studs (and studettes) and rejuvenate the old competitive spirit. Four years ago I was talked into joining a league with some friends. As it turned out the league consisted of myself, a young guy that had some computer savvy and knew how to set the league up and "Da Family".(pictured)
As the first season progressed it became clear that this was no ordinary family (You will get to meet them individually in upcoming posts). They were cut throat competitors. They harassed each other, accused other members of cheating, smack talked and on and on. Until, the young non-family computer guy called their hand on some improprieties. They turned on him like a bread crumb falling in a fire ant bed. He did manage to finish the season, but, vowed to never play with the family again. He felt so threatened that he moved all the way to the East Coast. There was a rumor that he had joined FFA (Fantasy Football Anonymous)
Well the fifth season starts next week and I have managed to remain in the league as a non family member. However, the computer guys spot has experienced considerable turnover. The draft has been completed without incident. Let the fun begin
