subject: Fantasy Football Games - Why So Special? [print this page] You're guiltyYou're guilty. If you're a football fan and you play fantasy football, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you're still in denial and claming innocence, let me refresh your memory.
You're at a friend's house where a bunch of your buddies are watching the big game. Everyone is wearing their team' colors and cheering on the local powerhouse. When a touchdown is scored, fists are raised high into the air and bottles of beer are gently tapped. Your hometown team is about to win by 23 points and the celebration is in full swing. The only problem is that this celebration is completely false. Everyone is pretending to be excited, but they're really not. The only thing they're thinking about is who owns Andre Johnson, whom happened to just score a 60-yard touchdown pass. Is it the person they're going up against this week? Is it someone in their division? Is it someone playing against the 1st place team in their division? It's obvious that everyone in the room is thinking about their fantasy team. All you have to do is watch during the commercials. One guy studies his Blackberry intently. Another leaves the room to make a phone call, which you know is to the guy he's playing against. A third person goes to the bathroom for the seventh time that day. And the host goes upstairs to check something,' which you know is his computer for an updated score. You're also guilty, but you were smart enough to study and memorize your roster's opponent prior to the big game. You will also have a good idea of the current score.
Why is fantasy football so important? Why is it absolutely essential that you win? The obvious answer is pride and bragging rights, but it goes much deeper than that. By winning, you earn respect amongst your friends. You will also avoid constant razzing, being the butt of all jokes, and being made to feel like a moron. But the real fantasy goes even deeper. It's just that most people are afraid to admit it, whether it's to others or to themselves. The ultimate goal is to be such a good fantasy player that you will win your league year after year. This will lead you to gaining an incredible reputation on your fantasy site. At that point, you will be contacted by the local media. You agree to a local radio interview and your career is on your way. It's only a matter of time before you're asked to come down to your favorite team's training facilities. Here, you can meet the players and see if it's a good fit for you. After only one interview, you're offered a General Manager position. You draft, cut, and trade your way to the Super Bowl. After three consecutive Super Bowl victories, you're offered a $16 million raise. You bargain and end up with a three year deal worth $37 million. In your spare time, you travel the world on your yacht and hang out with the rich and famous. When you get a chance, you make your way to the back of the boat, where you can make business calls to determine who needs to be dealt. You're living the life, and it all started with a simple game of fantasy football. It has long been said that the best things start little. Fantasy football is no different.
But, there's one little problem. Traditional fantasy football games have been around for over a decade. While you hate to admit it, there are thousands of players that have completely mastered the game. You wonder how you can possibly get ahead and make a name for yourself. And then, presto, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes out of nowhere. It goes by the name of Suicide Fantasy Football.
