Face it. You are all happier when some tight end from the Falcons makes a catch, or some utility infielder from the Dodgers has a good zip or whatever, than watching your own team play.
I find it sad.

Nope, reality always comes first, fantasy second.

Re: Fantasy sports has sickened you all.
I disagree, leroy. Fantasy sports has made me a better sports fan. I spend hours at night angsting over seemingly meaningless stats like zip and hork and v-bom which has the net effect of making me more inclined to lose my job and family which, as we all know, do nothing more than keep us from applying our full attention to more important things like whether or not the Blue Jackets penalty killing team wins more faceoffs on the road than they do at home (46.8% v. 50.02% btw).Leroy wrote:Face it.

Re: Fantasy sports has sickened you all.
I know more about NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB players and their teams than I ever did before I played fantasy sports. I actually care about most of the games now instead of just my favorite team's.
I still watch my favorite team and hold them above all else.
I've enjoyed pro sports a lot more since I started playing fantasy sports.

Sadly, Leroy's right at least for a few people.
I laugh when people tune into a Chargers game just to watch Nate Kaeding and hope he kicks 3 FGs and 2 XPs.
This is why I've (mostly) burned out on fantasy sports and completely burned out on sports betting.

Fantasy Football once forced me to tell my girlfriend at the time that Jake Plummer was the Quarterback of my fantasy. We broke up shortly thereafter, thank god for Fantasy football.

Meh, maybe. I'm this way with football b/c the Rams suck and I'll admit, I'm not a die-hard Rams fan. They're my favorite because they're here, but even when they're winning I don't spend money to go to games.Leroy wrote:Face it.

I can't play fantasy baseball or hockey because I actually do care too much about my own team, so I don't. Just football for me.

Re: Fantasy sports has sickened you all.
Another board I frequent has a group of Chiefs fans who honestly believe that trading Larry Johnson is a good idea.
They are quite obviously of the same shallow intellect that drove the anti-TLR Faction for several years. Many of them also harbor an intense, but totally irrational dislike of Herman Edwards.
Trading LJ for draft picks may well make sense for a FFL team. It makes no sense whatsoever for the Chiefs in their current situation.
