Dude is a freak who will be best known for not being able to stay healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree. Also, the restrictions during the off season etc, are not helping at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 One of the reasons I don’t do Fantasy Football anymore. Well, I only did it twice and found it boring but both years I had AJ Green and both years he was injured and barely played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I really wish we had an AJ Green. Lengthy, #1 WR Build, great hands catcher, good at the 50/50 ball. Man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF is all about how well you play the waiver wire. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t blame FF. I did it as a charity thing, really hated it, found it boring. Never should have done it I also don’t like video games but I don’t blame them for sucking. Personal preference. My son loves it and consults with me from week to week in waiver claims. He won his league 2 years ago. I get it. Trillions of people like FF.

jetstream23 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I'm in 3 FF leagues. We've learned to NEVER have a fantasy draft before the 3rd preseason game. In fact, we usually have our draft on the Sunday before the season starts (Thursday Night Game). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if your leagues aren't playing for money, or at least playing amongst friends who talk trash, it makes sense that it gets a bit boring. It's more about the social aspect than anything else. I've been in a league with the same dudes for about a decade. We do a live draft with a board and have a blast. Pretty dorky, yes, but also a ton of fun.

It's more about the social aspect than anything else. I've been in a league with the same dudes for about a decade. We do a live draft with a board and have a blast. Pretty dorky, yes, but also a ton of fun. Maybe you missed my point. I find it boring. And I did it with friends and the trash talk and all of the social aspects. Maybe I’m in a minority but I prefer football solely for the entertainment value it gives ME. I don’t need to bet on it, I don’t need some peripheral or tangential noise to enjoy my football. It adds nothing. And I get that trillions of people love it, even if I was a master at it I still wouldn’t enjoy it. Has nothing to do with me being “bad” at it. And I actually wasn’t bad at it, I just didn't enjoy it. Besides, rooting for a player to do well but a team to lose is incongruous to me. Rooting for my player against my Jets to get 3 catches for 30 yards but not enough so he can beat us seems...stupid. You know what I’m not very good at but I enjoy tremendously? Golf. With friends. The social aspect of it. Busting balls. And I never bet. Actually, I don’t gamble at all on any sport so whether there was money or just bragging rights involved, I still wouldn’t enjoy it. That’s just me. I’m not suggesting FF sucks or is bad or anything like that. I just don’t enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Oh and possibly the worst part is having to listen to FF players tell you the same exact story week after week about how “all I need is Zeke to get me 16 points tonite” or “holy crap I just lost my top 2 WRs” or some such nonsense. You have no idea how boring these stories are to people who don’t give a sh*t about FF. Like if I told you every Monday around the water cooler about how “I hit a 2 iron straight to the pin and it bounced off the stick” or how “I hit a 70 foot putt with 6 breaks” and you didn’t give a sh*t about golf, it would get pretty boring for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Fair points @Peace Frog Thought I will say I do a good job of compartmentalizing the whole "rooting for the Jets even when they face fantasy players I own". When the Jets are playing I try not to look at fantasy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
