Fantasy Football

For those of you not familiar with fantasy football I'll give you a brief overview. In late August we have draft day (pictured above). On draft day you are allotted $40 million to purchase players for your fantasy team. You have to do some studying to be ready for draft day. The draft takes about 6 hours and is conducted in auction form. You have to buy players at every position to fill your roster, starters and backups, to make up a 24 man team.

My team is the Fightin' Junebugs. I won the championship three years ago. The next year I came in 4th in the playoffs. Last year I didn't play...I was having a baby. This year the Junebugs are back with a vengeance.

Chris' team is the Texas Stampede. His team has had the best record twice but has never won a title, he desperately longs to.

Last week was the first game of the season and we played each other. The final score was 129.15 to 129.05. Closest game in history! Chris won. I was sad.

Football will be on at our house all season no matter what, so this helps me get more involved and care about more games. This is something we can enjoy together and it's also very competitive. We are both out to win the championship....stay tuned to see how this season ends up!
