It happens without fail, about this time every year I start to dream about football. Usually, my Cubs are so far out of first place, baseball starts to become a distant memory in my mind. I begin to quietly move my football gear and jersey’s from the back of the closet, to the special area I have set aside for them in the front of my closet. You know, right by that Renuzit thing that keeps everything smelling “less manly” (Translation: Less smelling like an unholy pair of Chuck Taylor’s, more smelling like Pina Colada and Rainbows. That’s a real scent… I’m serious!).
One activity that sucks time and energy away from me is Fantasy Football. I love it!!! I started playing about 3 years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. I never thought I would like it, I thought it was a waste of time and it didn’t hold that much interest for me. Finally, I had a friend convince me to go to a draft and dared me to not want to play after the experience. He was right, it took less than 5mins. after my 1st pick and I’ve been a hardcore fan ever since.
I’ll be doing some updates and throwing some “Top 10 Picks” at you over the next couple of weeks. If you want to start doing some research check out NFL.com and their fantasy page.
Here is a video of Jadeveon Clowney in practice already laying the smack down! I’m also including his “Sick” hit in the 2013 Outback Bowl.
This is a little motivation to get you pumped for football season… Enjoy!
