I am writing this in a word document, because I am without internet at the moment. There are some major life changes happening to me now. I have to ask for your patience and kindness while I wait to blog about it all until I’m ready. I’m happy to talk on twitter/email (as some of you already have), I’m just not ready or able to write anything that sounds put together enough or OK enough to have a permanent home here on the blog…
What I want to talk to you gals about today is Fantasy Football.
Are any of you “playing” in a league this year? I was invited on Friday night to an all girls league. I doubt the likelihood of my winning because our draft took place on Saturday morning and I spent about 15 minutes making my list of players.

| The sweet girl who invited me to play with her league, and I, in law school. Happier times - when we weren't in the library ;). |
Typically, in prior years, I spend HOURS researching players, looking at who will be paried up with whom most of the season (if a QB likes one particular Wide Reciever or Running back more than others), and deciding who to choose because I like them, and who to choose because they will get me the most points.
Not this year. This year I picked people I remembered from last year and people who Yahoo believed would be the best.
We will see what happens.
My main problem thus far is the name of my team. I came up with that in about 5 seconds, and it needs some work.
- What have you named your Fantasty Football team?
- Do you like coming up with the names or wish, like me, you just knew each other by your real names and left the creative stuff out the equation?
- Do you hate football and have the urge to unsubscribe from TYD because you hear enough about it from the men in your life, outside of blog land?
Leave me a comment and let me know!
Yay FF!!! :D I wish I knew you'd maybe want to join a new league, I would have asked you to join mine. We have an odd number of teams. :-/ But oh well.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your team name? I'm the Penny Packers. Of course. :P
I'm with you on the less research/more random player selection. I made a couple small edits to the player rankings before the draft (mostly to make sure I got a good QB, and got Wes Welker, which I did), but other than that I left it to ESPN. I don't know who half my guys are. But, last year my mom didn't know who anyone but Tom Brady was, and she won the league. haha
I play too, but I'm the only girl in my 12 person league. I was the champ last year!!! It was also my first year. Rookie luck, or mad skills? I guess we'll see how I do this year! Since I'm the only girl in the league, my team name is "The Skirts".
ReplyDeleteMy fiance thinks he's created a monster in me, because I live and breathe FF all season, but it's a healthy hobby and something we can enjoy together!
Good luck with your team, love the blog post it gets me excited!
I've never played fantasy football, but my boyfriend is into it! He actually drove TWO HOURS today just to do the draft with his friends! Good luck to you!
