I wonder if it's possible that during each and every NFL game, the players get together in the huddle and discuss who's allowed to do well on the next play, based on the fantasy football ownership for that player. I see it going something like this.
Player 1: Alright, the next play should be a pass.
Player 2: Great, throw it to me. I'll be open.
Player 3: Hang on a sec. I think Cody Powell owns you in his league.
Player 2: Damn it. Did he start me?
Player 3: I think so.
Player 1: You may just want to sit the rest of the game out on the bench. And I wouldn't get too excited about next week, either.
Player 2: Wait, I can still get the ball and fumble, right? Screw it, I'm staying in.
Wahoo, it's a sparse Sunday entry! Sunday entries are generally sparse not because I am lazy, but because of how devoutly I observe the Sabbath. That and the lazy thing. It's very difficult to do entries on the weekend because it's nothing but whimsy time. At work, I'm supposed to be thinking about important work stuff, which invariably leads to five hundred words on how scared I am of elves. But at home, I spend most of my time already thinking about the scare tactics of elves, so there's really no need for an outlet. Okay, I hope that satisfied you. We'll talk again tomorrow.
