I just happened to check in on a throwaway fantasy football league I joined with some strangers at the beginning of the season. Despite having not checked up on the league since well before the holidays, it turns out that I actually won the darn thing. Too bad I didn't have any money going on the deal.
As for my primary FF team, the one over which I agonized in the days prior to the our fantasy draft, the team I evaluated and re-evaluated every Tuesday morning for the past 17 weeks, the one where I actually had some money riding on its success or failure... well, it ended up firmly in sixth place (out of 12) with a 6-7-1 record and out of the playoffs altogether.
The lesson here, of course, is never to bet on fantasy football... and if you do, ignore the team completely. It's a guaranteed recipe for success!
How did you do in your fantasy NFL league this year?
