Some of the guys from work and I had our Fantasy Football Draft last Thursday. Now I see why leagues prefer to get together every year and put on a "Live Draft". (In case some of you don't know what Fantasy Football is, it is where you get a group of guys and you "draft" NFL players to put on a fake team. Then you watch all of those players every Sunday, who could be on like 10 different teams on TV, and according to how many touchdowns they score and other very important stats, your "Fantasy Team" earns points. All this takes place for bragging rights at work on Monday morning.) It's different than the "fake football" I play on the Playstation, because at least on a video game there at least a LITTLE bit of skill on my part. This is just watching other guys run around, and we have NOTHING to do with how well they do. I have heard it said that if guys were REALLY as good as we try to be with drafting players and filling weekly rosters, we would actually work for the NFL. But we aren't and we don't...
we had a really great time, and I think that is something I will look forward to every football preseason.
Just in case some of you are wondering how I did I feel pretty good about my team. There are only 6 teams, so we each have pretty good teams.
