Ladies Love Fantasy Football!

0

Yes, I am one of those women who actually play Fantasy Football.

No, I don’t do it because I think I’m one of the guys or do it because my husband plays. I actually enjoy watching the sport and have always since I was little with my dad (Go GIANTS!).

I remember back in the day thinking to myself, “Why the hell are grown men playing ‘Fantasy Football’?!” Pathetic…Until I was working at one of my first jobs out of college and our manager decided to create a league for the whole department. My friend and I were the only girls in the office to accept the invite. I thought, hell, it could be fun – plus I didn’t want my boss to think I wasn’t a ‘team player’ and bonus – I could win some serious money! OK, so maybe the last part really fueled my interest in Fantasy Football, I mean, I was a struggling 25 year old making a pathetic salary. OF COURSE I only did it for the money! I had no clue what the hell I was doing but you can bet your sweet ass I made it all the way to the end and won some of the prize money!

Fast forward 8 years and I still play in leagues with my husband and friends. Some years haven’t been so great, while others have been pretty damn lucrative for us. The competitiveness makes Sundays (and Monday’s…and Thursdays) that much more fun.

How many of you all out there play Fantasy Football? If you have any tips, thoughts, trash talk or want to vent because your team blows, lets hear it! I will be posting some tips and updates every so often on here, my Facebook and Twitter pages. I want to hear from you!
