fantasy football

Not everyone was blessed with physical ability. Or coaching ability. Or even the ability to run an actual football team. That's not a problem with fantasy football, where NFL football fans can run their own team of real football players and score points based on how the football players perform in actual games.

Even though nobody except you cares about your fantasy football team, a lot of moderate-to-fervent fantasy football GMs will seek out advice as to who to put in their weekly starting lineup, and some writers are happy to help.

An added bonus to fantasy football over regular football is the ability to manage multiple teams in one year. So what if you are 2-8 in your friends league? You're 9-1 in your co-workers league. Rejoice!

The two most popular fantasy football services in America come from Yahoo! Sports and ESPN, but it's anyone's guess as to which one's better. And for the Europeans, fantasy football exists as well, except there are considerably fewer points scored.
