Anyone else not into fantasy football?

I'm not.

 

Biggest time-waster since heroin.

 

I'm not as into it as I have been in previous years. I've done fairly well on the SportsJournalists.com ones.

Except for the salary cap league I'm in right now.

 

I'm not. I can't devote that kind of attention to detail to something so trivial. I tried to be in a picks league once, and got bored with it after four weeks. That being said, I can understand it's a fun hobby for a lot of people, and respect that. To each their own.

 

I don't enjoy football anywhere near as much as baseball, but this is my second year with one football team and a survivor league and I like the enough.

 

I don't do any fantasy leagues. Don't have any interest in any of them. Friends and co-workers sure love them, though.

 

Quite into the pre-Internet baseball and football fantasy leagues, but when I was getting up at 5 just to see a box score in June, I knew I had to pull back. I've become a consultant, unpaid unfortunately.

 

Never understood the attraction.

People rooting for a player to do well against their team because he's on their fantasy team? Weird.

 

Have never been into it at all. I'd rather root for my team and my players than to say have Favre on my fantasy team and have to root for him to destroy my favorite team twice a year. No way.

 

I did it for 15 years, and gave it up last year for the first time.

I enjoy it, I did pretty well ... but I don't miss it. Too much hassle, too many decisions that occasionally got in the way of enjoying the games. Plus I already have a team, and didn't need that many more players to follow.

I fully understand the attraction, but I've done it long enough that a break has been good. And given what's on my plate now, that break is even more welcome.

 

I'm in one for comraderie (plus the SportsJournalists.com survival league for prestige!). I spend maybe an hour preparing for the draft and then maybe five minutes a week setting the roster and picking through the waiver wire. It does change the way you watch games, but it creates more league-wide interest for me. And I don't pull against my NFL team to root for somebody on my roster. But I'm not upset if they have good games and the good guys win the game.

 

Big fan of fantasy baseball, lesser so with basketball. I never liked football, and am sitting this season out, because it is not as true as the other two. In baseball, if you have the best team in real life, you will almost certainly have the best fantasy team. Basketball too, but in football, due to the enormous value of TDs over the work it took to get into position for the TD skews the values too much so that it doesn't ref;ect reality, which to me takes the juice out of it. Availability also messes things up. There's something wrong with your system when it seems like a good idea to draft 6-9 RBs before Peyton Manning.
