Fantasy Sports

Yes, I admit it, I am a fantasy sports junky. I’m hooked on running free leagues on yahoo with my friends. What can I say…I love an excuse to trash talk with my coworkers and friends. I’ve been running a fantasy hockey league for years and this fall I’m going to try fantasy football.

Fantasy leagues are one of those ‘guy things’ that few women understand. For me I love having an excuse to take interest in different teams and players around the league. It has given me a reason to stay interested during a season when my team stinks (not this year, Lets Go Mets!). I also love the chatter with your opponents. For the upcoming NHL and NFL seasons I’ve sent out invites to a wide range of people. I would love to get a diverse group together from different parts of the country or even other countries.

If you’re interested in joining in the fun, just post a comment and I’ll send you a league invite. Both leagues are head to head with an auto pick draft. Time requirements are pretty minimal (5-20 minutes a day, less if you do your lineup ahead). These are laid back leagues with a good balance of competition and trash talk.  If there is enough interest from the blog community, I would even be willing to startup our own bloggers league.
