Why I Like Fantasy Football

Hi All,

So, this is my first blog post--primarily because I find that I don't think I have anything very interesting to say--but I thought I'd write a few words about Fantasy Football.  First off, I love football...always have, I am from Chicago, it's a rule, you just have to.  However, FF brings this to a whole new level of appreciation.  Exsilio has a FF league, 12 members strong, and it's a lot of fun.  I especially like the members who "don't know anything about football" end up having a really good time.  It's only the end of Week 1, and already the chatter has begun..."My stupid kicker got injured on the first play!", "I knew the Bears defense would rock-they have Urlacher", "Did you see Wes Welker kill it on Monday?" ... and these comments are from the people who DON'T know anything about football!  It gives us something other than work to discuss and give each other crap about, and I like that. 

Even my stupid team, which I lovingly drafted with as much forethought as the 60 seconds in between picks in the draft would give me, causes me to get all worked up-Mendenhall, really? 1 point? C'mon!

So, I might try to blog a bit more--at least to let you know how "Katheryn's ShiDres" are doing this week...and we have a matchup against  "Password is Taco" (great team names, huh?) for Week 2, so I ask you...Are you ready for some football?!

Cheers, K
