football

The time has come.

Oh yes, fantasy football is upon us.

For those of you who, fortunately, do not have husbands that dream all year of this special time...congratulate yourselves. You're one of the chosen few. You've done well for yourself. Perhaps, your hubby just has one league he's involved in. He gets geared up when the season begins, but slowly as the busy holiday season wraps up his time, he forgets to even tend to his line up. By December he's not even sure what his record is. Pat yourself on the back. You're a smart, smart lady.

Me, I chose Tim the Toolman of fantasy football. The man who lives and breathes it. He drops lines like "Honey, I've got some paperwork to handle, I'll be in my office." or "We're going to need to go to early service, the first game starts at 11 am (when we lived in Arizona)." My personal favorite is when he's on the cell for hours scheming a harmless team owner (aka one of his friends) who is clearly uneducated on the value of his players into making a trade. That would make for a "good day" in the office. I could go on for hours. No one is allowed to touch his laptop on Sundays as he has separate tabs set up for each league he's in. The best is when he gets up and I need to harmlessly check my email. This does not fair well for the team owners wife. Oops.

So, with this said, every year Dallas has three teams, his Charleston team, friends in Az and his baseball team. He is the ringleader. I can remember them actually getting a conference room in Salt lake one year. I wish I had been in charge of renting out that room..."You're doing what? You can't just all talk in your locker room before the game?" No, this requires a conference room. Those times are once again upon us. Dallas, the commissioner, has already set up everyone's teams and they've drawn to see who gets 1st pick. Next week in Nashville, after a day game they are holding the draft. It is serious business. To kick this off, Dallas asked me to help him upload a picture to the teams main site. His instructions were simple...

"You're good with this stuff, can you just upload this picture of me with Michael Ryan (the commish and the Top draft pick team owner who's obviously going with LaDanian by his cute drawing). It will go with an article about our draft order."

"Sure."

"Here's my password. Thanks! I love you, talk to you after the game."

"Love you too."

As I was uploading it, a thought came to mind. Hmmm...this is kinda boring, what if I spice it up a bit? No one probably even goes to this site other than Dallas, right?

So, with only myself to entertain, I chuckled as I designed, hacked in and posted this cute little photo...with my nice little addition. It needed something right?

Let's just says Dallas was not amused.

If it was not for the fact that he still doesn't know how to upload some of the stuff, he may not even be speaking to me at this moment.

I guess this is kinda my fantasy football (minus the scheming) so hopefully I've made my opposing team owners laugh with this.

whatever.

At least one of us has a sense of humor in this family.
