2009 UM Fantasy Football

Are YOU Fago?

And Mort Divine, you're an idiot. I'm not crying about fantasy football being gay. It just is. It makes people more interested in watching games for statistics and cheering against people they like and for people they dislike all in the name of some made up bullshit. "Fuck Hines Ward, he only got 3 yards!" Last week it was "OMG I want Hines Ward's babies, he had a touchdown and over 150 yards! BEST PLAYER EVER!!!!!!" Fuck Brett Favre, he threw a pick and no TDs! I would have loved him if he got me more imaginary points so I would have a higher number of imaginary points than the person I'm arbitrarily selected to 'face' this week!

Keep on keeping on with this gay shit you faggots. I'll actually be enjoying football games regardless of how many meaningless style points some random league decides a player is worth any given week.
 
No, I am not Fago, AFAIK.

Dodens does have a valid point. I have experienced rooting for players on teams I pretty much hate. I try to balance it with wanting the player to do well, but the team to ultimately lose. But, yeah, FF definitely changes the way you watch games. But for me, I still root for the Chargers first, and that has been the only thing that REALLY matters to me. Beyond that I like for AFC teams to beat NFC teams, but that is pretty loose, especially since I have a certain amount of fondness for the Cardinals (they are my local team, though 120 miles away).

But honestly, FF has actually increased my enjoyment of non-Chargers games. I have much more knowledge of other players and other teams, and I am more interested in watching other games now. I enjoy football, so if the value of FF for me is to be judged based on my enjoyment, then I think for me it is overall a positive.

So blanket statements, as usual, are flawed.
 
Sure I find myself cheering on my fantasy players but when I was there planted in front of my TV for the Saints game I was pissed not because I had fantasy players on the Saints team, but because MY TEAM was getting the shit kicked out of them.

Then they rebounded and despite the player I have doing nothing for me, I was happy as fuck because we came back from a 24-10 deficit to win 46-34. It was an incredible fucking game to watch, loved it, game of the year aside from possibly Dolphins/Jets.

Saints first, FF second.
 
I did try it and it was gay. And my brother plays it and it's annoying as all fucking hell watching a football game with somebody who has players in the game on his fantasy football team. I was about ready to fucking punch him. If you're going to watch a game with an eye toward your gay fantasy shit, do it clandestinely like Catholic priests or Republican congressmen acquiring sex from other males. I don't want to know about it.
 
Playing in fantasy leagues has actually gotten me more into the game and allowed me to enjoy it more than I did previously. If that makes me gay, then it makes you a faggot :)
 
Kiss it...
