My hubby got me hooked on this way of life shortly after we were married, and since then, sports has become a near obsession of mine.
For those who don't know, Fantasy Football is played in "leagues" with family or friends, and draft day is the day you all choose your teams. Basically, all of the players in the National Football League are fair game. It's like you put them all in a glass jar and take turns picking them out to form a "fantasy" team.
This year, my QB is Matt Ryan from the Atlanta Falcons, and my star running back is Arian Foster from the Houston Texans. I also have players from the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers, etc. The "fantasy" part comes in (because it's not real life, yes, but also...) because you get to combine players from different teams to form your own team.
When the NFL season starts next Wednesday, we'll face off against another member of our league and continue as such each week until the playoffs begin.
By this point, you're either interested, which means you should find out more and maybe even play in a league of your own (comment below if you have questions), or you're bored.
Either way, here is a screenshot of my team for this year. Feel free to critique or ask questions!
**For those of you wondering about the woo girl reference, I point you toward this clip of How I Met Your Mother:
And if you're wondering, a woo can be elicited by fantasy football draft night. ;) **
