us weekly fantasy league
my sisters have tried to get me to join their fantasy football league many times in the past year... and i think i joined it once, i have no idea how i did. i can't even remember if i actually joined it, thats how interested i was.
and same with a baseball fantasy league my friends out here in cali-forn-eye-aye formed once. i ranked somewhere near the bottom. i never traded any players or did anything interesting. they refused to invite me the next year.
all in all, i'm a really boring fantasy player.
i don't really care about the sports teams we bet on until its either super bowl sunday, the world series, or i'm physically at a game, eating a hot dog, and drinking a beer.
then i care.
but... this could change.
catfoo(d) sent me this article a while back from our beloved "sports guy"... and its brilliant. if he can make this happen, he will be a millionaire. case in point? me:
a) not only would i join the in a heartbeat and rally up my bookclub to play against me (they are huge celebrity whores)...
b) but i'd also buckle down and finally get that subscription to US weekly that i've been secretly coveting for the last year. (instead i just read it at the super market or manicurist as religiously as possible, which isn't that religiously considering how infrequently i go grocery shopping)
so all the sports guy needs to do is set up a bounty deal on subscriptions with US weekly initated from his site, and then add that to the membership fees for league... and he's a happy, wealthy man. i wish i'd thought of it myself. maybe he can hire me to do the website.

Cute story, but anybody betting on Rocco Baldelli, and thinking he plays for a team in Tampa, hasn't been paying attention. I can understand how consuming a baseball fantasy league can be, though. You start paying close attention to numbers - like, a pitcher's K's, IP's and ERA and so forth. Fun!
p.s. -- This is from someone who ignored baseball most of his adult life until his children (not to name any names) began collecting baseball cards and paying attention to how "their" players were doing. Suddenly, a game your great-grandparents enjoyed takes on new meaning.
Oh, Megan, WHAT A FIND!
Like you, I never really understood fanstay leagues. My co-workers talk about theirs all day long and it has always been mind numbing. Something like this I could totally get hooked on!
okay megan, let's do it! i think you should write the sports guy and license his idea for a cut of the profits. we could retire as billionaires. i'm only half kidding.
