The Blessed Season Has Come Again

Today was the draft for Fantasy Football which can mean only one thing, football season is right around the corner. This is my favorite time a year and the wife's least favorite. This means that for the next 5 months, if it's Sunday, Monday, the occasional Thursday, or Thanksgiving, if the TV is on it will be on football.

These first couple of days after the draft for Fantasy Football are my least favorite because now I have to find out who the computer gave me and who is still available to trade up for. You see the way the league it set up is that the draft is automated meaning that you tell the computer which players you want and it tries to get them for you, if they aren't available then they grab the next best thing, which I think is a big lie, how can the next best thing be Rex Grossman.

Now I will end up spending most of my free time repairing the dreadful team that I have been dealt. It's not as if this has done me any good in the past. In the last few years that I have been playing Fantasy Football I have never gotten out of the regular season. But this year bring a new twist to the game, AugustFilet has decided to join up and take part in the festivities. Atleast this guarantees me one win for the year.

Don't forget about the occasional Saturday college football game.

As bad as the results as for the autodraft it is a necessary evil - mainly because there is no way on the planet that I could get everyone's schedule to merge at a point when we could do a live draft.

Have you looked at Jonathan's team - you have another team you can easily beat :-)
