“You make me
Feel like
I’m living a Teenage Dream…”
Rock on, Katy Perry!
Maybe it’s not my true Teenage Dream, but I’ve always wanted to be part of a Fantasy Football league. And now I finally am! I’ve always enjoyed watching football. But unless my team (the New England Patriots) or Jared’s team (the Buffalo Bills) were playing, I didn’t pay close attention to the action.
Not anymore…
My Team Mascot!
My team, Corgis Who Bite, is officially ready for the 2010 NFL Fantasy Football Draft. My friends are holding our draft next Wednesday. I’m excited to select players from around the NFL and then follow them each week. I’ll cheer them on and hope that they help me earn lots of points.
But realistically…
I may not win any games.
I may choose my players based on who is hot and who has the nicest uniform.
But damn it, next week I’m going to select my lineup and have FUN. 
*Anyone have any Fantasty Football advice for me?*
Since I’m sure there will be lots of football related get togethers, I should probably start making my own healthy tailgate snacks for everyone to enjoy. An entire football season of Buffalo wings and beer definitely won’t be healthy for any individuals involved.
And just to clarify, my true Teenage Dream (now my Adult Dream) is to hold the chains during a football game. I’d love to run out onto the field and measure to see if the ball was moved far enough for a new 1st Down!

(I might be a teensy bit obessed with that song, FYI.) I love that you have a Fantasy Football team! I’ve always wanted to participate in one but fear I don’t know enough about the game/players. Still, I’m very much looking forward to football season. Go Ravens!

My very first blog post EVER was about Fantasy Football!!! It was also about my picks in the past and for this year
I always do my first round pick based on looks…because well…if you’re going to be watching all fall, you may as well have something to look at! I actually WON last year so it’s proof that the theory can work! Hope you have fun with it! Go Colts!

My husband’s draft is tonight and it is literally all that I have been hearing about for the last two weeks
I did fantasy baseball for a few summers, but there are so many games that it becomes a lot of work. I don’t know much about football other than the Pats and Giants, but I have heard that fantasy is a great way to get more into it. Have fun!
