i love this time of year. winding down the summer with fabulous weather here in the pacific northwest - although the last couple of days have left something to be desired. we move slowly from 90 degree days that seemingly last forever to back to school shopping and the dread of the realization that another thanksgiving and christmas will soon be upon us. i love this time of year, not for the reasons stated above, but because these gentle shifts and thoughts are a reminder that football season is upon us. and with that come fantasy football!
yes folks, i am a fantasy nut. super fan really, and while i may not display my inner geekdom (i really don't have any), i do get lost in the revelry of the competition and strategy that fantasy sports has to offer. i average three football teams a year, shelling out a paltry $100 in the process and only twice in the last four years have i finished any better than fourth - in a league mind you that i quickly was kicked out of this year after i left my former place of employment. hacks!
this year is no different. i again have my trio of teams, while honey bunches took over my spot in the former league (might i mention that she too is really into this fantasy thing as well. i've lost a good two days of work trying to analyze the players, develop my draft strategy, and figure out what player on my shitty roster from last year that i'm going to keep - believe me, it's not pretty.
we're hosting a draft party this year (yay for drafting and beer!) - one of the great things about being a commissioner - for the couples league that i started. how fun it was last year to watch newcomers whoop up on the veterans (i finished 8th).
good luck to everyone out there that takes part. should be a fun one this year. i must go out and buy my 3 magazines now. later!
