Last night was the last night of the fantasy football draft for the league I'm in. For those who don't know, fantasy football is a game where you draft players from all over the NFL to play for points on your squad. Each game week players earn points for their squad based on their stats for that week.
The first time I played was in my high school youth group as a way to make Sunday evenings more interesting. I found that fantasy football really gets you interested in each game because most of the time at least one of your players or your opponent's players will be on the field.
This is the first time I've seen fantasy football in prison done properly. At Hightower, the fantasy was more of a pick 'em because you just submitted a group of players who you thought would perform bets, which meant that you share with everyone. This league has a draft, which makes every player unique to his team., and each week has head-up games with a playooff for the winning teams.
I like this set-up much better. My team is mine and I'm sure that by the end of the season I will be attached to a few players who carried my team unexpectedly. It does help the time fly by.
