I am the type of girl that loves sports, I played 3 sports a year for six years in middle and high school. I loved watching my now husband play football, and wrestle in high school and college. Now I love to watch the Yankees play baseball with my husband during the season, and we love to watch the football games during the fall and winter, Go Packers! We have even gone to see the Yankees play at Yankee stadium, and we also saw Buffalo play at their stadium against New England (the season they were undeafeated).
Last football season, my husband was asked by a friend to play fantasy football. At first, I was like no that's cool I'm not jealous, I don't know all that much about football anyway. But, as my husband picked his players, and checked his scores, and watched the games with new excitement, I wondered what I was missing! Alas, at the time the league was not allowed to add more players.
So this season, I decided to make my own league, and I invited friends of our families, and friends from school. Even though I like to watch football, I don't know too many players (besides Packers hehe), but I thought I would give it a try. I picked my own players during our snake draft, and it was so exciting. I loved watching to see what player went to which team. I loved sitting there with my husband, and brother-in-law and getting excited when picking a player. It was a serious rush of adrenaline and excitement!
The first week of football finally came around, and I was matched up against my husband, so we made a bet! Whoever lost had to do the dishes alone for one week! (We hate to do dishes) We excitedly watched the games together Thursday night, Sunday, and Monday night. I loved checking my scores, comparing the projected points with the actual points scored, and seeing how everyone else in the league was doing. It is amazing how something like this can just push you into the sports world with such a force.
I ended up winning that week, and my husband did the dishes alone for a week, and since we had friends visting, there were a lot! It was an amazing feeling to win something where I never thought I would, and wouldn't have been expected to win. I loved it, and as soon as Monday night football was over, I couldn't wait for Sunday to come again!
The next week I did lose, and of course it was disappointing, but it was interesting to see where I lost points, which players would have been better to start and which ones let me down. But, now I love fantasy football and it's something that my husband and I love to share. It brings us together on Sundays to trash talk, negotiate, discuss strategies, and just bond. It's an amazing thing and feeling to share something with your husband, especially something that you both enjoy.
I am so happy that I discovered fantasy football, and decided to give it a try, so my message today is: Don't judge something, give it a try, it may work out in better ways than you thought. Also, GO PACKERS! :)
