The Sunday Afternoon Quarterback #17: Fantasy Football Converted Me
Way back in early November, I shared a bit about my rookie season in Fantasy Football and how beginner’s luck was no such thing as I consistently got my ass kicked week after week. Originally I was predicted to come in second place in my league and ultimately I ended the season in second to last place. I guess that’s better than absolute last place, but still not a stellar performance on my part. And while I had every intention of paying closer attention to professional football this year, my intentions fell apart at the very beginning. I did watch lots of college football as I usually do, but the…

A New Decade: Regrets, Resolutions, and Reinvention
Welcome to a new decade. The year is 2020. And I am not really sure how to proceed from here. Do I leap blindly into the future paying no heed to the dangers that may lie ahead? Do I tiptoe cautiously forward hoping for the best? Do I stay the same as I have always been and consistently fly by the seat of my pants?
