Fantasy Football...

A word of advice for any guy out there thinking of having children. If you enjoy playing fantasy football, don't have your kid until AFTER football season! After you have a kid, fantasy football becomes a lot harder because you can no longer lie around on Sunday from 8 am (when I check injuries, probables and the weather) until 10:00 pm when the night game is over and I have watched all the ESPN highlights.

This year I felt like I was finally able to enjoy playing Fantasy Football again. I guess I enjoyed it last year as well, since I did win it all! Congratulations to me and Ron for making the playoffs. I am the #2 seeded team and if Ron wins the quarterfinal game, he will have to play the current undisputed champion...ME. (No whammies, no whammies, no whammies!)


Aya tolerates my fantasy football and sometimes evens helps me makes roster decisions. When I can't decide who to play I ask her which name sounds better...then take the opposite. Usually it works out pretty well. Not to mention, Aya is dominating her work pick league and is currently beating me in my work pick league. So, Aya knows a little something-something about football.

Aya and I were sitting around watching ESPN Monday night after the Patriots - Ravens game. The announcers were talking about Willis McGahee great rushing night, 120+ yards and 1000 yards for the season.

Aya: Whoa, he had a good night.
Miles: It was alright...maybe 18 fantasy points.
Aya: That's it?
Miles: Yeah, 120+ yards and a TD...18 points.
Aya: No way, he had 1000 yards!!
Miles: hahahaha
Aya: What's so funny?
Miles: 1000 yards!!! hahahahahhaa!
Aya: What?! Tell me. What is so funny.
Miles: 1000 yards would mean that McGahee would get the ball from his own endzone and run it all the way to HIS endzone...10 times. That would also give him 10 TDs. Thus, he would have 160 fantasy points...which is WAY more than a great day in Fantasy football scoring.
Aya: But the announcer said he had 1000 yards.
Miles: Yes, that was for the season, not the game.

I was laughing so hard. Funniest thing I have heard in a long time!

Too bad Aya doesn't keep score for my other fantasy league. I could have used McGahee's 1,000 yard game which would have helped me clinch the final playoff spot, but since he only got 120 yards, I didn't make it.
