I hate fantasy football
I actually love fantasy football, but I hate the jerks at Yahoo who give “professional advice”. This week they told me that Adrian Peterson would have a terrible game and practically said I should bench him. So, I benched him. Then he had a record-setting day of five touchdowns and almost fifty points. They told me my kicker would suck, but some other one would have a great day, so I dropped my kicker and picked up the new guy. The kicker I dropped had eleven points, and the one I picked up on Yahoo’s advice had five. Luckily, Ben Rothlisberger was having a great night and had four touchdowns, and then he was suddenly injured in the third quarter and left the game. I lost my matchup by .84 points. Less than one. 116.66 to 117.50.
I don’t know what qualifies someone to be a fantasy football expert, but from now on I’m only listening to my own inner voice’s advice. I’m in danger of not even making my league’s playoffs if I don’t shape up. And what am I going to do if Ben Rothlisberger is gone for a long time? I don’t even have a backup to replace him. I know that’s Yahoo’s fault, too, I just haven’t figured out how to tie them to it.
