Crazy Fantasy League Antics
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 4:09 pm
So every year I have a hoops league with my best friends.
This year a buddy of mine, we'll call him Booj, is offended that he wasn't invited to join. I tell him thats because I've never known him to play fantasy sports, or even watch a basketball game for that matter. So sure, whatever dude, the more the merrier. So I invite him in.
He drafts mainly based on Yahoo rankings, but a few wise picks so he must have read some articles.
As the season goes on he gets more and more obsessed . . . phone calls, taunting emails to the league etc. Now hes watching hoops all the time. Now hes watching hoops and going back and forth to the computer to check the stats in all the other games. Makes some good drops and pickups .. hes doing his homework.
It all culminates this morning. As another friend is driving to work, he sees Boojs car on the 401 (Toronto) . . and Booj is furiously motioning at him with both hands, driving like a madman to keep up.
Then he realizes hes flashing 4 on one hand and 5 on the other - the score in this week's fantasy matchup. Hes got both hands off the wheel in rush hour on North America's busiest highway to taunt about a fantasy matchup.
Yep these are my friends!
