Ok. This one isn't political but it's my opinion. If you agree to play fantasy football, play the damn game! It is truly ok for you to play anyway you want of course but here's what I do. I watch every NFL game that's on TV all weekend even if they are not the Green Bay Packers. PIP works fine when there are two games on at one time. I ache for the start of the next week on Monday when one weekend is pretty much over. I'm chomping at the bit to look at next week's opponent even before the MNF game. On Tuesday it's all about trolling the internet for info on who's injured and who's hot and who's not. I make all my waiver claims and look forward to Wednesday morning when waivers have run. Wednesday through Sunday morning, I'm agonizing over who to start. I look fwd to Start'em and Sit'em on CBS and Love/Hate on ESPN which happen on Thursday and Friday.
I am the commish in two leagues now. One just got passed to me this past week and that league has several owners who don't pay any attention to their team. I'm jousting with one owner who knows his opponent, not one of those who are always absent, has two blanks in her lineup at this moment. I doubt she will fill them by herself and am tempted to use my commish power to do so. The still, small voice seems to be saying "leave it alone". Gonna do that. I played against a team last week that had 4 open slots because of an absentee owner and a commish who had no time to tend the league. That's how I got to be commish. Now one owner is complaining that I'm too hand's-on and my ego is out of control. Then there's this little devil on my shoulder who says "Go ahead and insert a RW and a WR off waivers in her lineup because her opponent (the complainer) will never know if it was commish or owner who did it." SSV says "It's still wrong even if you don't get caught."

Ciao, babies!

SO i have no idea who you are, but stumnbled across your blog when i hit "next blog." Thats super annoying though. I play fantasy non stop, and if there are empty spots in my league, you actually have to chip in 5 bucks to the pot for every empty spot. Look into commish and collect that moolah.

How did I get sucked into reading your blog? I guess you had the right buzz words. I play fantasy all the time. Anyway, I like your blog. I also have imaginary careers and am doing quite well with them.
