Farewell to Fantasy

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

So this year in August I abruptly decided not to play fantasy football. At the time it was because I was still feeling bitter and upset with myself for not being able to handle the Lakers playoff games. But, with 2/3 of the season gone I have to say that this has been the easiest, most enjoyable football season for me in quite some time. Yes the Rams have been horrid, and the Buffs have struggled and the Broncos have been marginally good, but I have gotten more enjoyment out of just watching the games for the games sake and not caring about the stats, than I have in a long time.

This past Sunday I was even able to almost completely blank out the little ticker on the bottom of the screen that displays the stats. I still would like an option to watch without the ticker at all, or tape a strip of tape across the TV, but I can survive.

The bottom line is that I am making it official, I am retiring from fantasy football. I will not play fantasy again. It turns football into a chore, and takes the fun out of it for me. So no more for me.
