Have Your Fantasies Fulfilled
You know, we used to have a sports category. Steve must have taken it down which only makes sense because for a long time the only thing under sports was a post about G.I. Joe. Is that proof we’re geeky or what? But I know there’s sports fans out there.
I, myself, love NFL football and I enjoy playing in fantasy football leagues. I thought I’d test the waters to see if anyone here at Kulturblog or out there in blogland in general would be interested in doing a league this year.
If you’ve never done fantasy football before it can be a lot of fun and it’s easy to learn. It takes much less football knowledge than you think. My wife, who honestly hates football, joined my league one year in disguise and ended up placing higher than me in the rankings, a fact she really enjoys reminding me of. But the good news is that the experience made her much more tolerant of me when I choose to watch a game.
If we get enough interested people, say around ten or so, we could do it. It’s a lot of fun, trust me. You get to talk a lot of smack when your team crushes its opponents.
So I’m just putting it out there. Anyone interested?
I used to do fantasy NFL, NBA, and MLB, but I had to cut down. I’ve limited myself to baseball only (though I am in two leagues). It’s fun, and a great way to keep in touch with friends who aren’t the chatty type. Good luck putting a kb league together.

I have been in fantasy football leagues since before they were cool (assuming they are cool now…nevermind). I would be happy to participate in a kb league.

I know it’s a touchy subject for some but my love lies with Hockey. (it’s even capitalized!) If someone wanted to do a league for hockey I would join. What’s not to love? Men in skates on ice with sticks.

I’ll join, but only if I can safely assume that there will be no wagers on the games…

I’ll do it. But, after the NCAA tourney, I would feel bad having to school everyone again.

Brian, I’m just getting around to reading this post, but if you still need warm bodies, I’ll do it. I’m in two leagues already, but wouldn’t mind doing another. Maybe I’d choose all NY Giants.
Eric - I still owe you for the NCAA thing. E-mail me.

I love talking sports - if it gets put back up as a category, I’d make an effort to populate it with a post now and then.
