Thanks Mark VI. Posts like yours, with the inside info, is what makes reading TSW so great.

Question: What do you do when the star of your fantasy team is playing the Bills? Don't you sometimes get into a conflict of interest? Case in point, I watched Super Bowl XXV in a bar in Niagara Falls. The bar had one of the super bowl squares for $100.00 a square. As Norwood lined up for that fateful kick, one guy stood off to the side of the bar looking squemish. Someone said, "What's wrong with you?" I'll never forget when the guy answered, "I've got the 0-9 square. If he makes the kick I lose $5,000. I'm gonna be sick." When the kick sailed wide right, there were about 50 guys in that bar ready to beat that guy's a$$. He left without the money and came back for it the next day. I realize that this is an extreme example, but I wouldn't want my league championship riding on a guy scoring a TD that puts the Bills out of the playoffs.

Are you a fan of fantasy football? Personally, I can't stand fantasy leagues and fantasy chatter. When a sports radio show like the Simoncast or Shoop & THe Bulldog bring in a fantasy "expert" I change the channel. There's nothing worse than hearing a guy call in and ask, "I can start two of my three runningbacks. I've got to choose between Holmes, Tomlinson and Henry. What, for the love of God, should I do?" Leave the decisions to the real coaches and Gm's and become a regular fan again. I think that there should be a ban on all fantasy geeks clogging up radio shows and chatboards.Who is with me? Flame away fantasy geeks!

I'm in. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all of your efforts, Scott. A day without TSW, is like a day without sunshine.
