I’m in two leagues because I really enjoy creating offensively humorous team names and that gives me double the opportunity to indulge myself. But this year, both phone apps started showing player pictures everywhere. IDGAF what anybody looks like, only how many imaginary internet points they get me.

These dumb players should spend less time getting hair and makeup done to create their profile pics, and more time getting me more imaginary internet points. Unless they are on somebody else’s team, then they should definitely spend more time getting hair and makeup done, in addition to engaging in risky and dangerous behaviour, like chainsaw juggling while riding a unicycle on a tight rope over a shark tank, or something.

Also, Yahoo keeps egging me on to do a daily game for more monies. No, I don’t want to do that. Stop asking.

Bah humbug.

Yes, noticeable worse for both Yahoo and reason. ESPN. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Not a big fan of the ESPN updated app. I feel like I need to pop out the sidebar WAY too much.

It’s been many years since I have done fantasy football. I remember one year when somebody named their team ‘off a donkey’ and used that Shrek donkey as their team pic. When asked, his reasoning was “because you beat my team, you have to say you beat off a donkey.”

Worst thing that happened while I was playing, though, was one year when one of our coworkers who was in our league was killed in a car accident about a month into it.
