Baseball is America’s Pastime. But Football is the country’s most popular sport. Does that make any sense? Not to me.
I don’t know about you, but I’m annoyed with the influx of football talk already. I can’t stand it. Can’t I enjoy my fantasy baseball season in peace?

It’s not even the all-star break, but on the Yahoo fantasy sports home page they are breaking down the San Francisco 49ers offense. I just don’t give a damn. Fantasy football takes no skill at all. I won the league hosted by TheBaseballStars last year and it don’t mean jack to me. Seriously. You draft a few backs in the initial rounds, pick up a high profile receiver, snag a couple sleeper running backs, take a few possession receivers, take a defense and then draft a kicker in the last round. Happy. Now you’re on your way to a championship. Of course my road to the title was quite different. But that’s beside the point.

Fantasy baseball is the superior sport. It requires skill to built a team that can outlast your opponents for 20 weeks, and then for another three in the playoffs. In football all you do is watch the games on Sundays, wait for a starting running back to get hurt, and then go add his backup. It’s pretty simple.

In fact, this year I think I’ll just skip football all together. I’d rather spend my time researching obscure baseball players, following the Arizona Fall League and laughing at the dudes who spend their Monday mornings talking about how they stole some running back off the waiver wire a day earlier like they predicted that some third string scrub would be a fantasy force.
