We all love playing Fantasy sports. It gives that what if you were a gm feeling etc. I started out playing fantasy baseball back in college. I'd say Freshman year. Then I moved into both Baseball and Football. I was pretty damn good back in the day too. Consistently winning titles or being top 3. Then came the real world.
No longer the days when you could search the interwebs all the time. Now its about work and finding that happy time to get the info you need. After that comes the lets start throwing money down, etc, etc. 2 years ago I had a chance to win the 2 leagues I played in, but lost both. Since then its been nothing but a downward spiral.
Currently I'm a robost 4-8 in 3 leagues with one team winless. Thats right I'm the 2008 Detroit Lions in that league. Fewest points scored, the laughing stock of the league. Looking at my record and the fact that I have about zero time to put towards fantasy, I realized that its time to hang it up.
I'm no where near the manager I used to be, and when it became a job versus just fun that's when you know its over. I could pull a Farve and decide to keep coming back here and there, but as a full time 2 sports fantasy manager, I can safely say its over. Back to being just a fan, not the dumb ass watching 10 games cheering on all random guys, or that guy screaming at Peyton Manning to stop throwing to Dallas Clark and throw to Reggie Wayne because hes on my team and I need the points. No more of that, just back to rooting on the Pats and Braves and just being a fan.
