I started my very first fantasy football league this year, at the invitation of my cooperating teacher. She invited me before the school year started saying that it was something that the staff did. Being my first one, I drafted a three home team players and a bunch of others I had no knowledge of. As it turns out, all of the people who knew what they were doing and drafted the right players (many of whom have injured themselves), are not faring well. Whereas I, who had next to no idea what I was doing, now have the best record and beat my last opponent by 83 points.

Does anyone else play fantasy football? I'm a huge football fan, and the sport (to me) doesn't need any extra to be compelling. However, I'm also not the guy who knows anybody's stats or even many players beyond team's quarterbacks. And while I thought that this would make me care more about these other players and what they're doing week to week, it just makes me look at my phone a little more on Thursday and Monday nights, and on Sunday.
