Why Fantasy Football Matters
In spite of the fact that I'm not all that good at it, Fantasy Football is a great endeavor for any football fan.
The best thing about fantasy football is that it gives you a reason to watch every game. You usually have either a player or someone you're interested in in every game if not on every team. You also get a much deeper understanding of the sport--essentially you go from rooting to play calling.
Base10 doesn't like any of his potential keepers this year. He has Ben Rothlisberger, (sp?) but his numbers aren't all that great--the Steelers success last year was a team effort. Indeed, Tom Brady's numbers aren't that great and he's got quite a few Championship rings.
My quandry this year: keep Antonio Gates? Will he be the next Tony Gonzales or will revert back to average this year? News out of San Diego is that Gates signed a six-year deal but will miss the season opener due to a suspension over his holdout.
I should of course plant misinformation in my blog to throw off my fellow league members. (Base10 makes evil laugh).
