It Begins... An introduction to the site.

It's that time of year again.
All of your sport fan friends are gearing up for another season of Football... Fantasy Football.

As pointless as you think it all is, you can't help but notice two things:
1). There are more and more of your friends playing every year.
2). They DO seem to be having a lot of fun.

So THIS year, you've decided to take the plunge and try it out- BUT you know slim to nothing about Fantasy Sports.

Actually you don't even know anything about FOOTBALL!

Fear not.

This blog is going to help you through the season AND if you follow closely you might even find yourself in the playoffs! Trust me, it's not that difficult.

So, here is how this site is gonna work.

Each week on Tuesday and Friday- I'm going to give tips on what to do and where to go in order to optimize your lineup.

Because Blogs are chronological with the last post on top, I'm going title each post as to exactly what it's about.
This way it will be easy for new comers to start from the beginning and if you want to re-read some tips about something, it will be easy to find.

I'll try to keep each post as short as possible as well.

At this point (or maybe earlier) you might have asked yourself "Who the f*** is this guy to tell me anything?"
To which I respond- "HEY! You're the one that don't know nothing about Fantasy Football, jackass!"

Actually, I've been playing Fantasy Football for a while now and I usually run between 5-7 teams a season- all of my teams make the playoffs and the majority of them go to the Superbowl.
Two seasons ago I helped coach a fellow league player (who was literally picking players by the color of their uniforms) get to the playoffs.
Last season, I lost two games to her.

So- I CAN help you develop the habits that are going to make you a competitor in your league. You must remember two things though:

1). Your team is YOUR team.
You are about to told a lot of stuff from a lot of people about who you should sit and who you should start but in the end- it's YOUR decision. Own it.

2). If you drop a football, you never can tell which way it's gonna bounce. The game of Football is the same way.
Just because one team/player is expected to dominate/fail doesn't mean it's gonna happen. No Football season goes the way anyone plans- that's what makes it fun.

Lastly, I would like to say- You don't HAVE to watch a second of a real Football game in order to succeed at Fantasy Football.
HOWEVER, if you do watch the games (even the ones that don't feature your favorite team) you will find yourself seriously invested. Fantasy Football amps the watching of Football immensely. Join your friends at a bar and have a good time.

You are about to take your first step into a larger world. Enjoy it.
Good Luck and Good Football.
