Every year, a group of guys get together and draft football players to have make believe games every weekend. This is a simple explanation of fantasy football. Last year, my team, the Massillon Hitmen won the Total Points Championship as well as the Most Improved Franchise Award (as designated by the Al Davis plaque). I didn't win the whole thing. A very worthy opponent beat me in the final contest.
However, I am looking forward to another fun year. I took a couple risks in drafting Ricky Williams and Edgerrin James. If it pans out, it will look good. Last year, I drafted Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, LaDanian Tomlinson, Jamaal Lewis, and Braylon Edwards. Owens, Moss, and Edwards had their issues in the past and fellow team owners thought I was nuts. But at the end of the season, I had at least one top five player in the QB, RB, and WR positions in the NFL. That's just lucky.
My league held its draft yesterday and I was able to get Romo again. I also drafted Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards again.
Ah, the excitement of football.
Just a hint for an early "Winner of the Week" for next Friday, it might be a certain college football team that pulled off an upset.

Sounds like fun!
Not sure what team you're referring to, but I did catch the Bama game this past weekend!
Roll tide!

I don't follow football so I never know what all that sports talk is about, ;) but my son has a fantasy league group of guys that he has joined up with, and he has great fun with it.
Good luck to your team, Struke. :D
