Hot take on your part, but fell flat. Yeah, I know it has become more mainstream, that's part of the annoyance. I guess it will never die off now... I see OJ is playing fantasy football too these days. Having sports shows on TV and radio dedicated to helping people draft fantasy teams is only slightly less lame than reality TV like Jersey Shore or the Bachelor.

At least the fantasy stuff gets you some interesting stats that you wouldn't hear otherwise. I'd rather listen to that than listening to the Skip Baylesses and Stephen A Smith's of the world. Bamboo shoots under fingernails is more enjoyable than hearing Skip Bayless or Stephen Smith Talk about anything. Just sayin, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin, Stephen A Smith is one of the most entertaining guys on sports talk. He’s become self aware and he’s hilarious. Skip is just a joke and it makes me angry that he makes a cent with his terrible opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it would be as fruitless as participating in fantasy driveway shoveling... just sayin, Go Bills And yet others watch dumb reality shows of people sitting around talking.

Jrb1979 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The couple seasons I played fantasy football were a lot of fun. Makes the other games of the week interesting. I'm in a league at work where we pick the winners every week. Makes the football season more interesting. I have noticed that a lot of Bills fans on this board seem to be an older generation. If you want good football talk listen to NFL radio on Sirius. No fantasy talk there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why these nerds get on radio. Shows are long and you have to fill them with something. But no one really knows what players are going to do this season. No one. I don't care that you picked up Shady McCoy for $2 in a late round of an auction draft. You might as well be telling me how many nose hairs you have. I have noticed that Schopp and Bulldog spend more and more time on fantasy football all the time. Yesterday, with Bulldog out on vacation, Schopp dedicated an entire day to it...which meant I shut the radio off. Every time that guy starts talking about his 20 fantasy leagues and his addiction to gambling, I shut it off, unless I'm listening tape delayed, and then I FF until the fantasy crap is finished. I just have no interest in it and it's not really related to real football at all. They might as well be spending time discussing cosmetics application techniques. I'd shut that off too. 9 hours ago, DJB said: I'd say the professional basket weaving championships are slightly more boring! You either love fantasy football or you dont. Pretty simple. I agree, and there is no in-between, which is why the decision to spend more and more time on it at WGR-550 is kind of a risky one. There is a segment of their audience that probably loves it, but there is definitely a segment to the audience that hates it. And not everyone cares about listening to sports talk radio in the first place! Not sure how they can afford to throw away a segment of their audience with fantasy discussion.

Also, a lower cal option is hot sauce for the ketchup, but I can’t be mad at you for the premise lol. Sriracha works well on anything that's warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use sweet chili sauce which is tomato based does that count as okay? Personally I think all Fantasy Football (and Xbix and Madden) should be on its own forum.

I do not play anymore because I do not have anymore time each week than to watch games but it is a great way to know more about the League versus one team.
