I am part of three fantasy football leagues. Ironically, I am doing the worst in the one I am commissioner for. It is also the only one of the three where we auction, which is the format that is the most involved and, because I was the only one who fuckin' showed up for the auction, the league where I basically got to pick my own team. And now, my own team sucks.
That's not as bad as the team in another league where I started out, like, 4-0. I think I've lost five-of-six since then. The absolute lowest of the low came this week, where I had three guys going in Sunday's late Games with a good chance of overcoming the deficit I had ... and I didn't. What's worse is that I had on the bench Jayden Higgins, a Wide Receiver for The Houston Texans, who put up enough fantasy football points that, if I had put him in for either a WR or a player in one of the Flex Positions, I would have won. That's the game of fantasy sports for you, but goddammit, I hate that.
This is the league I gamble in. I went from cruising into the winners' bracket to fighting for my fucking fantasy football playoff life. And that really sucks.
