The World of Fantasy Football...


So here we are...about 2 weeks before the big NFL fantasy football draft and its time for me to do my homework.......Who do I take first...who do I think is gonna have a big year...who is my sleeper pick....how badly do I want to crush Jay this year....

Of all the fantasy sports available out there.....in my opinion fantasy football is the cadilac of them all. Prior to last year I didn't really follow the NFL that much....that all changed when I started to play fantasy football.....I found myself watching more games and following my players to the point where it was almost a obsession. At some points I would actually be watching 5 or 6 games at once while running back and forth between my TV and my computer to see the live updated scoring. Sitting on my computer late and night searching free agent players who I thought could give me a weekly edge...reading team stats trying to find out who had poor run defense and who was shaky versus the pass. I wanted to know who struggled on the road, which team had the longest flight, what the chance of rain was, and if my teams O-lines were healthy....It all came into play.......Listening to the analysts on ESPN, Sunday Countdown picks....the fantasy reports online.....

Fantasy football is the real deal. I love it...check that....I live for it.....greatest way to get into the game......my only complaint is that its only for 19 weeks.....but for a true sports fan...those are 19 weeks of zen.....

I can't tell you how pumped I am to take part in my second season of it. From the minute it ended last year all the buzz was about this year.....well here it is....front and center........And I am ready.

So who do I think is gonna have big years?

Well...as of today I am not gonna post that due to the fact that guys in the league read this blog and might try to sabatoge my picks.......

Also....I do believe we are looking for a couple more to join our league...so if your interested email me or leave a comment........
