No Fantasy

Before I get started, let me apologize for the abortion of a formatting job last time. I tried to do some fancy webpage stuff but it blew up in my face like a Humvee in Iraq. Let this be a lesson to you, don't try to do anything new, you'll just screw up and regret it.

Fantasy, the word implies something magical. Something wonderful and amazing. Which makes you wonder why you have they call it "fantasy sports". I suppose it's because people always dream about being a GM, but how often are you left feeling positive when you play.

Basketball season has started, which means fantasy basketball has too. Anyone who drafted Boris Diaw or Gerald Wallace, solid 3rd round guys. are pretty upset right now. Then you're playing Rasheed Wallace one week, who you figure is going to be ejected 25 times this season, and he's dropping 25 points, 4 blocks and something crazy on you.

Hockey season has been going on for a while and my buddy has this gem to share on MSN: "How my goalies got their groove back: Me not starting any of them ... figures they both play amazing", how many times have we thought the same thing?

Then there's the ballad of Ocho Cinco. Everyone drafted him high but Carson Palmer and the Bengals have been bungling and CJ just hasn't seen the end zone very often. This also disappoints fans of Dancing with the Stars because if he isn't able to showcase his moves, he might lose that lock in 7 years if the show is still around.

They really should come up with a new name for leagues. "Misery Basketball" or "Frustration Football" are some candidates I thought of.
