Its the most wonderful time of the year!

Ahhhh yes, the air is becoming more crisp, and the daylight is getting shorter. Yes that's right everyone, it is almost fall. Fall = One thing to me and most other men on this planet...FOOTBALL SEASON!

Yes that's right, offenses and defenses, children and adults are in training camps and scrimmages preparing for grid iron glory. I too have been training for grid iron glory, much like many other unathletic people whose dreams of becoming a professional star and football hall of famer have been dashed by their lack of football skill and pure athleticism. I am preparing mentally for the most competitive and grueling sixteen week season of the year: the fantasy football season.

Fantasy football gives you the power to be a multimillion dollar general manager, minus the money. Fantasy football allows you to be the coach setting your lineups for the best possible matchup against your competition. This is no joke. This is what I do for a living. I feel that being unemployed has given me a strong advantage this year. Having no grasp of reality really allows me to enter myself into a fantasy world.

Our fantasy football draft is on Sunday. It will be a test of on the spot thinking, as well as planning ahead to make the best selections for the upcoming season. One wasted pick could ruin all hopes of a championship. What am I doing to prepare? I have purchased almost every guide you can, and I have made myself a draft board. I have thought out every draft scenario you could encounter, and selected my top 5 picks for each round. I am not messing around this year. Granted these picks could become meaningless if the players do not live up to their expectations, or get hurt. We will just have to see how it goes.

That being said it's back to the draft board for this general manager. Does anyone out there have any good tips?
