Like many others in the United States, I am an owner of a high-quality, elite, pro football team… my fantasy football team. All joking aside, playing fantasy football is extremely competitive. There is a lot riding on each game. Money, pride, and public humiliation hangs in the balance as our super human athletes battle it out every Sunday or Monday… or Thursday (Thank you NFL for giving me so much football).
In the case of the league I am in with my friends, there is currently $100 in the pot, which might not seem like a lot to the average person, but, to the average college kid that $100 can go a long way. As well, if I come in last place in the league (Which I won’t I’m 2-0 baby) I will have to do something terribly humiliating in public. Keeping my young audience in mind, I will not disclose the punishment ;).
With this being said, my Sunday’s have become a day of pure fun. Watching football is great enough, but watching Alvin Kamara rack me in 41 points makes it that much better. Thank you to the guy who created fantasy, you are a true genius.
