I bet those are 2 words you never thought I'd use together. Football is traditionally a topic I pretend to know a lot less about than I actually do. I've found that playing dumb is a fool proof way of avoiding long conversations about such things as why a coach is retarded or why a player is a loser. It's all bullyish talk that tends to come from men with beer guts who couldn't run a mile. That aside, I did sign on for a fantasy football league at school.
This raises the real question here-- what is your fantasy of football? In Hazel-land football games would always just last an hour. The cheer leading squad would be comprised of all of the players' parents. There would be additional points awarded for good sportsmanship. Included in the price of your ticket, you would be handed a hot pretzel and cocoa on your way into the game. People who loudly insulted players or refs would have to run laps during halftime. Halftime would always include a show with live animals, a singer songwriter, and taped highlights of the locker room pep-talk.
I'm guessing any male readers are not on-board at this point. At least stop to think about what your own fantasy of football is.

My fantasy football is a clock that starts and just keeps going. No "time outs," just real time. And whatever they could accomplish in the time allotted would be fine with me. I'd also like cushy seats with ample arm space and place to put things. I like your version of the game as well! :)
How about instead of numbers on their backs, their Myers Briggs type??
Sorry to have missed you Sat. We're ALL sick here still.
I know this may sound like a guy but do the commentators have to constantly be talking, giving stats, or showing off with witty comments? Cut it!! I am good with most everything else, but what is up with perpetuating the Cheerleader/Playboy image - why not a cute brunette with short hair? Peace, fantasy girl.
