Poker in the front, Fantasy Football in rear

And I'm the dirtiest thing in sight
Matter of fact bring out the girls and let's have a mud fight...

I've been playing Fantasy Football since the mid-80s, and I've been playing with basically the same group of guys for 14 years now. One consistent aspect of most of my seasons is that I am woefully putrid at the game. Just last year (our league's 13th) I blew right past the 100 career losses mark. Do the math...yeah, shitty, eh? Many subscribe to the theory that Fantasy Football is mostly luck, some think they are the next Bobby Beathard and that makes them a shoe-in for their League's glory. I'm somewhere in the middle, I think some pigskin prowess is required, along with a little luck.

If Poker is somewhat like Fantasy Football, then myself and the rest of my league are in big shit trouble this upcoming year. One of our longtime members just returned from the World Series of Poker $300K + richer. This is even more depressing given the fact our league uses the "auction" system for undrafted palyers. "Oh, Brandon Stokley wasn't drafted? He has two TDs already? Alright, I bid $310. Anone else want to go that high? I didn't think so, bitches."

(NOTE: this post may fall under the old adage that "nothing is more uninteresting than someone else's Fantasy Football team.")
