fantasy football

Today a more normal life post ...



tis is the season in which i become mostly a widow thanks to a hunting season that lasts from aug-dec complimentary of the dedicated hunting program, byu football and the season tickets that make nate giddy with joy, all the other football games on TV, playing football on a city league made up of 30 something boys against 20 somethings and winning, and last but not least fantasy football.

what is fantasy football you ask? first off let me tell you what its not - scantily clad cheerleaders bouncing around. thankfully!

so i complain a lot about this one. i think its because it takes nate away from us while he is at home, he tunes out and just goes to this "fantasy" place. i am super grateful that nate is not addicted to other types of "fantasy" so i am willing to give on this one, yet still i feel that detachment he makes.

so wednesday i sighed when he mentioned that it was draft night for his second fantasy team (he already had draft on monday for the other team which included several hours on his day off of making a "special" draft board.) so at the end of my sigh he asked me if i even knew what fantasy football was. and then i spout this at him ...

"yeah i know what it is .... first of all its research and reading the only topic you will research or read all year, then logging onto the internet (with your wife's help!) to set up a fantasy league with your friends or relatives. its composing your own custom team out of players playing for all different teams throughout the NFL through a draft program that mimics the NFL draft program and allows the league members to fight in a more organized manner. then the playing begins and you watch way more football then you did before you knew what fantasy football was (he watched an extreme amount before so this worsens the addiction to drug like levels!) you watch every NFL game to just watch one player who defines the points he earns your custom team for the day. points earned are based on each of your players game day performances and determine the winners and loosers of your fantasy league. all the while you log on to the internet quiet often to talk trash to each other ins ome guy language about who is doing well and who isnt. this consumes several hours of your week for the full season. "

his eyes got big and he just said wow, you do know what fantasy football is! you should blog abou it! so here i am. blogging about fantasy football and all its woes.
