It’s fantasy football time in the Washburn home!!!!! Yes, week 1 for the NFL is officially in the books, and both Washburns made it through with W’s in the fantasy football league.
Now, Matthew has been an avid fantasy football fan for years, but this is only my third year to be part of a league. And I have to say, it has been the best 3 NFL seasons of my life. I never cared for NFL before. I didn’t grow up loyal to a team. But now, thanks to fantasy, I just love it. Strategizing about which wide receiver to play, which defense has the better match up, and so on. It’s just exciting. I can’t stop listening to sports radio and reading ESPN.com articles. It’s not even that I feel the need to dominate and destroy my opponent (although I will) as much as I just long to be informed. I don’t want to be the cheesy wife that signs up and picks players by the colors of their jerseys.
So good luck to all who join my obsession for the next 16 weeks. May your quarterbacks be strong, your running backs be healthy and your kickers be above average!
Wait a minute…you’re not suppose to choose teams based on the colors of their jerseys??
UPDATE::: Mary Elizabeth is in first place in the fantasy football league. Just thought you all may want to know that.
