The Fantasy Football Experience

Well as Week Three of the NFL is wrapping up, I feel I should talk about a football experience that doesn't directly involve watching the game. You may be asking yourself how something could be a football experience yet you don't have to watch the game. Well, what is this experience? It is fantasy football.

Before the season starts a fantasy football fanatic like me gets my draft picks ready for the upcoming fantasy draft. Then when draft day comes, I try to pick a team that will get me a lot of points so I can win my fantasy league. You may be asking yourself, why would you want to create a "fantasy" team and see how many points they get? I would respond with the simple fact that it is very fun to participate in. Sure it may sound kind of boring to the non-fantasy fanatic, but to a fantasy fan like me it is something to look forward to all week.

You keep track of injuries, hot players, and cold players all in the hopes of putting together a team with the highest point total that week. You may be thinking, how do these points work? Well each player on your team gets points and then you add them together to get your team total. The goal is to have a higher team total than your opponents team total. If you do you get a win and if you don't you get a loss. It's almost like you are participating in an NFL season online with your friends.

I am pretty proud of my picks this year for my fantasy team. I'm undefeated right now and am on my way to 2-0.

You may be thinking, "Wow this guy's a nerd."

Well I can respond by saying you can't judge until you actually try it. I know I find it very addicting and I am constantly checking my team's point total throughout the day on Sunday to see if I'm winning or losing and by how much.

Even though this is my first year doing fantasy football, I'm already addicted to it. It is very fun and very interesting in many different ways, and just two weeks into this fantasy season, I already love fantasy football and the fantasy football experience.
