Fantasy Football

After years and years of hearing about Fantasy Football (about 5, to be exact), I have decided to stand up for my right to learn about football and figure out what the fuss is all about.

I am currently sitting in my next door neighbors’, Fred and Ethel’s, basement with 10 other guys and 1 girl, drafting picks for our fantasy league teams.

I expressed my interest late in the game, so I didn’t get a team in Fred’s league. However, I decided to attend the draft anyway and observe the dynamics of the game. While they all look through their books, print-outs and cheat-sheets, I went on my mini laptop and did an NFL Fantasy Football Mock Draft. These start every minute, and you can just practice picking members for your team with 10 other teams online. I did it just once, and this is what my team looks like.

I’d like to introduce you, for the first time ever, to the Norwood Nutshellls!:

Bench:

Sorry about the formatting… don’t know why it’s putting out those spaces there. But you get the idea.

Is this a good team? WHO THE HECK KNOWS??? I just wanted to make sure I got Tom Brady 🙂

I don’t know what the rules are yet. Fred and his manly manly friends were voting on the final rules of the league, which I did not understand at all. So I’ll wait for Fred’s email with the final rules. After all, I’m not really playing for money… just for the experience. We’ll see what happens.

I guess this is what life without school looks like. At the very least, I hope that this gives me a reason to watch sports with Brian.

Good luck to all REAL players out there 🙂
