I Suck At Fantasy Football

yesterday, i did something i vowed that i would never do... i took part in a fantasy football draft. too bad i suck at fantasy football.

a long while back, my friends wanted to start a fantasy football league. the idea was a brainchild of my friend (garv), who is the "intellectual" type according to my other friend (hot amy). garv's intentions were good... to get friends from high school to remain in contact with one another via something we all liked... football. naturally, all of my friends were on board. at the time, i thought it was a great idea as well because there were some friends who i don't keep in regular contact with (as some of you are aware of with this blog).

sadly, one of the things garv is not so good at... implementing his ideas. he once had this cockamanie idea of importing only germans to work at a bakery that he was going to create. (at the time, he was dating someone with german ties.) anyway, that's a story for another day. like i said... garv has the right intentions... just not the right means of implementation at times.

of course, making matters worse... garv... very stubborn. if all of us told him how ridiculous his german baker plan was (which we did), he would have vehemently told us it was a great plan (which he did).

anyway, all of us were going to participate in setting up the fantasy football league. needless to say, there were too many cooks in the kitchen. rather than deal with the headache and chaos known as the fantasy football league, i vowed to forget the league altogether and never to participate in it. it wasn't worth it, to me, to partake in something that was supposed to bring friends together only to have everyone bickering about things. it is... after all... fantasy football. the name says it all... fantasy.

well, throughout the years, i had the pleasure of hearing my friends complain and bicker about the fantasy football league. i simply grinned and shrugged my shoulders because i had no vested interest in the league... until this year.

my friend (marc) was asked to run the league for the first time this year. as they were adding a new player to the league, there would be an odd number of teams. thus, marc asked if i would partake in the league as a favor to him. and so, i did.

i joined the league and the league held it's fantasy draft yesterday. as i was meeting some of karen's friends at the derby shoppes in hingham, i really didn't do much for the draft. i drafted a few nfl players complements of panera's free wi-fi and then let the computer draft the rest of my team. i couldn't be bothered.

so, we'll see how this year goes...
