Fantasy Football Fun!
No more alliteration; I promise.
I participated in a fantasy football league this with a group of guys I know through Monica. Her group of close friends at work get together and this group of guys is the husbands. Great bunch.
$20 buy-in; winner receives $100, second place gets $40, and third gets $20. Draft went as expected mostly. I got second pick amazingly, so I assumed I’d get Peyton Manning since everyone would pick LaDainian Tomlinson first, right? Wrong. First pick owner drafted Peyton, so I snapped up LT real quick. I also got Randy Moss, Carson Palmer, Adrian Peterson, and (naturally) the Chicago Bears defense. All in all, a pretty good outcome for me.
Season goes by fairly well.. until Katie Lynn decides to join us. Beginning that weekend, I went on a four game losing streak. Luckily though, the earlier wins in the season kept me going and got me into the winner’s playoff bracket.
In the end, I won. I couldn’t honestly believe it. The last week was a decent week with a key free agent pickup (Anquan Boldin) three days before game day saving my butt.
Oh, do I tell the guys that this was my first fantasy football experience?
Dec 31st and that’s all you write about T? crazy.
HNY!
