My palms start to sweat and I stop and take a deep breath…I am 10 days away from my first fantasy draft of the season. My eyes burn from reading Top 200 lists, mock drafts, player profiles, and season outlooks. After taking a break to watch “Hardknocks”, I am reminded of what all of this work is for; GLORY!
Coin flips and a fair share of flops might make you want to pull your hair out, but opening day will finally arrive, and hopefully you will conquer. Each pick has the ability to make or break you. The pressure is on and it sure feels good.
As giddy, wide-eyed, new proprietors come in, broken down and frustrated owners leave. For some, the weight of coaching can become too much to bear. Luckily, a young new coach is usually right around the corner, ready to make a league debut, with a strange new team name in hand.
Keeper deadlines will soon be here. Do you keep a young, hopeful rookie with dreams of an empire or a trusty veteran for this years Superbowl. The same questions arise each year, and yet each year feels more exciting than the last. Fantasy football seems to have an undying appeal and somehow makes the greatest sport in the world a little bit greater. I should have been asleep two hours ago, I do have a life besides football, but when fantasy season rolls around, I need reminding.
Just bought my fantasy magazines for the year in preparation for my first draft this Saturday!! Man I am both stressed and super excited at the same time. Can't wait for it to get here, but still have sooooooooo much work and prep to do. You're right, football is life!!.... or is it?
ReplyDeleteStress level is high in Camp Thaler, at the moment. I'm excited about my new draft software but I'm afraid I won't learn how to fully utilize it before we kick this off at 11am.
ReplyDeleteNot expecting much sleep tonight.
