Fantasy Sports Backlash
I was looking in the Denver Broncos blog a little while ago and Kim the writer of the blog commented on a site in which a woman talks about being a fantasy widow.
The reason this woman is against fantasy sports is because her husband found something more interesting to him than watching the style network and talking about how Oprah is getting fat….. again.
This stupid site is just proof positive that marriage is just not a good thing for most guys. We can’t do anything we like anymore and suddenly anything that we like or take an interest in is always bad or “stupid.” So here is my thoughts on something that many women regularly engage in and that I think is “stupid.”
Candle Parties are the worst, these are just about the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. You get invited to a party where you sit and eat food and drink alcohol (nothing wrong so far). But then here is the fun part…. You get to buy garbage!
Call me crazy but I don’t consider a party a party if I am expected to buy shit. You might as well invite me over and try to get me to join a cult or buy amway products. They call these home shopping parties.
If I am invited to a party I like to bring something, a bottle of wine or maybe a dessert, whatever. But to invite me to a place where I am expected to buy a useless product like a candle or an air freshener is just distasteful.
When I go to a fantasy football draft that is fun for me a way to talk football for a few blissful hours making dirty jokes at others expense and just be a guy. I don’t have to be sensitive to others feelings or worry about kids or hear about that latest shopping excursion to the mall to but little johnny a pair of shoes. I know what I am expected to do when I come to my draft. I put down my money but there is not “party” label attached to it and that is why fantasy sports make more sense. At least they are honest and the reason that fantasy sports are better.
The Bird Speaks!
I know it is dumb for her to complain about a hobby but in defense of womankind, she may not be fat/not good in bed/boring. He may also have an obsessive personality because seriously… how long does fantasy sports really take? There’s a draft and… um… yeah. That is probably the most amount of time that you would sit and spend on fantasy in one setting.

August 20th, 2008 at 3:16 pmguys you must think like a woman here. be open to what she sees. to some it does look stuid for a bunch of men to sit around for hours and pick football players to play a game. to some women it’s childish. they want “mature” men in their life. that’s a turn on for some women. maturity. i have explained my love for fantasy football to my wife as my emotional release to the tensions of daily life. a time to forget and cleanse. women tend to be more emotional then men, so she understood that. and then i told her when i was done finding that escape from reallity for a while, i’d always come back to her for the buildup she give me so i can be the “man” and get back to the real life world again. all she says then is “awwwwe, thankyou.” because i make her feel that she “is” the “best” part of my life, she does’nt even want to be the “only” part. a woman feels good about a situation if you take the time to make her feel that way. just my experience of 27 years of marriage and 17 years of ffootball
