That's right. It's begun. The grip of Fantasy Football is upon me. Last night, the first preseason game of the year was played. It's all downhill from here.
For those of you who are lucky enough not to know, Fantasy Football is akin to a crippling addiction. It's soooo good, but it's so bad (well, time consuming anyway). I would estimate that the average fantasy football participant (and there are millions of us) easily wastes hundreds of hours between the months of August - December researching, reading, writing, proposing trades and generally completely consumed by football. It's a beautiful thing. I hope my girlfriend will be patient with me.
I'm actually going to be signed up in 3 leagues this year. The original, my MUN league consisting mostly of my university classmates. Then there's the Ottawa Money League, which is filled with my friends here in town. New this year, I am also joining a league hosted by a local sports writer and radio sports personality, Dave Gross. The backstory here being that we needed a 12th in our Ottawa league, and Gross happens to be a co-worker of Bouz's at CanWest. Gross got the the nod, and then I come to find out that he was looking for an extra in his own league. So here I am. I'm not sure how I feel about playing in 2 leagues against a guy who's job it is to research and write about sports all day... but hey... the prospect of potentially beating him is just too enticing. Who knows, I may even get a "Reid-o is God" shout-out on my favorite radio station if things pan out for me.
Anyway... why am I wasting time on this blog??!! Time to waste time on mock drafts and rank lists!
