Fantasy Football

Considering how much I really enjoy watching football games, I guess it is a little unusual that this is the first year that I have waded into the stormy waters of...Fantasy Football!!! Why in the world did it take me so long...this is so much fun (even if my team is 0-2) Right off the bat let me say that FF totally changes the way you watch professional football. No longer are you rooting for a team (the Dolphins in my case) you are literally screaming for 8 individual players and 1 team defense that make up your team for that particular week. Of course, your team usually changes a little each week depending on how everyone plays...which makes it so much fun. I happen to be in a rather small league...there are only six of us...a daughter, two grandsons (who I discovered can be rather cut-throat when it comes to drafting players) and two friends of the grandsons. We all had a real hot and sweat producing draft night that gave all of us something to cheer about...and something to complain about. Al in all we did manage to survive and since our family gathers at our house on Sunday afternoon after church I get to watch the games (we have Directv Sunday Ticket) with daughter and grandsons...and let the smack talk begin!!! This past week my team played my oldest grandson who took great delight in his beat down of old grandpa. But...as we say as we lick our woulds...we'll get 'em next week...besides I just picked up Jahvid Best...be afraid...be very afraid!!!
