Nephew wanted to play Fantasy football

So we started a week late due to some questionable commissioner-ing. It's seriously worse than NFL vs Brady.

My 8 year old nephew wanted to play fantasy so his 'rents pulled together a last minute league featuring the fam. I've played in a so-so competitive league a few years ago, but don't follow enough football around the league to not trust my yahoo predictions, nephews parents who are semi hard core, BIL's brother who is hardcore, a Nana/Papa team that needed a lot of assistance to sign up and then draft a team, and DW. Nephew has no clue what he's doing just knows his friends talk about fantasy, nana/papa well that one is obvious, and DW is the reigning Texas-Hold 'Em champ who won the final pot while saying "I have one of those things with all the same thingies." Yes, that is a straight flush...the pot is yours said the guy at the final table with her who frequents the casino. Way to go, W! My money is on one of those three teams winning. It's the neeb who doesn't over think it who wins most often.

Should be a fun season with lots of smack talk and I'm sure Nephew will come out on top.

I'm totally getting schooled by DW this week. Drew Brees...you suck not that it really matters.

She has Gronk and Edelman. She's up by 40pts with Marshall still to play tomorrow. Did I mention she did NOT start Fitzgerald?

Trounced by DW week one. A 65 point loss! She kept the trash talking to a minimum though.

FFSC: I feel like trash talking with my niece...she's 2. Then again she is the eviler twin so she's likely to end my life, not just my fantasy team! Lol. She has an attitude I find adorable...scary but adorable, then again I'm not her parent so there's that.

Wow...I think I'm going to be that guy in FF this year.

BIL had two 40+ point receivers and Rogers went for 50+. Both weeks the team I faced had 2-3 players who went out of their mind.

Not a fan of our league's scoring rules, but even so...its for the nephew I kept telling myself. DW on the other hand...trash talking is strong with that one. I'm surprised she isn't fan-dueling it up on the reg.

The Mrs loves her FF, she's doing two leagues this year. I need to find something to do on Sundays because football is on the the tv from first to last game of the day... I can do 1 game start to finish... but I'm too ADD to watch that many games

I can watch my team and my wife's. But even then, I'm not hardcore. Some weeks I feel like I have to watch because they are only televised 4-5 weeks a year. But since they start so late I usually only catch the first half and go to bed.

I really just update my fantasy app periodically. MW is swiping to refresh nonstop. Back in the day before fantasy was online a friend had a league. They would run extra cables to their living room on Sunday and bring the TV from their den down. Even then, a friend would bring his TV to watch three games at once! That sounds crazy considering the number of TVs people have now. They wouldn't know the winners until Weds or Thursday because they needed to wait for the newspaper to report the box scores and add up all the scores by hand. So archaic.

Yeah. Put up 175 this week but the team I'm playing is going to beat me be 30 anyway. Next team will have 120 at most. And...I'm at 3-5. Every is still having their best week against me.
