What it was - was football!

It is once again time for our fantasy football league’s draft. Last year was my rookie year as a team manager and it was fun and interesting. My problem is that I don’t know the details of the game necessary to do well in fantasy football. I know football’s rules and all that, but who plays quarterback for Jacksonville? Unless I am actually watching a game I rarely know who the major players are. But that did not prevent my team from winning the title last year. Go figure.


So this year, with my rookie year behind me and a broader understanding of how to succeed in fantasy football (dumb luck comes to mind) I am once again gathering my rankings of quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and all those other positions and getting ready to sit down in front of that computer for an hour or so, with Penny by my side as my trusty assistant, and get totally panicked and confused as we participate in the draft.

Let the other managers beware! This year I am experienced, well rested, and full of mind altering pain medication! “Hey Penny, I kind of like the name of this running back for Arizona –Obafemi Ayanbadejo- what say we pick him number 1?” That’s all I’m going to say for now – I don’t want to show my cards too soon.
