The Quick Out

I might be in the minority but I have to say that I am really tired of Fantasy Football. The arguement in favor of it, is that it brings an added level of excitement to the games, on both saturday and sunday. I don't need the added excitement, I am the type of person who can find a team to root for in any game, even if it is Temple vs. Florida Atlantic. What I don't need is the information overload that takes place on the scrolling ticker giving me fantasy stats, I don't care. I don't care if Adam Vinateri went 6 for 6 and score a touchdown on a fake fieldgoal. What is sad is that this insanity has now infiltrated college football. Why? Why do we need college fantasy football? We have to deal with sports wagering infommercials weekly now we have to deal with fantasy football updates and weekly handicapping shows. What really kills me about fantasy experts is that these are guys who have never stepped on a field or has thrown a pass. Instead they are stats nerds who are obsessed with YAC's or how many TDs Deon Branch had against the Bengals. These guys don't care about the game, the integrity of the game, or the history of it. Instead they have brought an annoying aspect to our weekly viewinf experience. You know I hear freinds say all the time that betting on games brings an exciting aspect to the game also.
