Fantasy Sports

So if you've never done fantasy sports, you will not understand this post. Don't even try to because I used to think the same thing, "Fantasy Sports, that's stupid."

Too bad I was way wrong, they are great! One of the best things about it is that being a Lions fan, I actually have talented players to root for during the games. It's funny that I find myself watching the bottom line during the games and reading the stats. I figure out in my head how many points my player just got from that huge run/catch he had.

Hockey fantasy is fun too. There so many games and so many players you actually keep track of when games are on and who is playing who. Rather than being a fan of just one team, I become a fan of the whole sport! Football is still hard to be a fan of, but hockey is always great.

Fantasy sports make sense because there's so many of us ex-athletes that still want to be part of the sports we love. With managing out team, we get to yell at our players, bench them and even trade them and put them on the waiver wire if we want. Since we can't play anymore, why not manage these guys in a world that doesn't exist! They're also good for keeping your math skills up which is extremely important and they make you pay attention to the news (albeit ESPN Sportscenter, but that's the best news to me!)
