2. I'm in a fantasy football league that started in 1986 if you can believe that. We were an old

rotisserie baseball league and the guys that wrote the book for that put one out for fantasy football and we started the league.

We have met in person every year and have always had at least 14 teams. We had 16 before they put in bye weeks. We might be close to being the oldest running league in the country.

I didn't watch the game but read the wiki page about it. I remember that one well and what party I was at watching it. I miss those days, but especially New Years Day.

I'm one that thought New Years Day was the biggest football day of the year. Two years ago, I turned on the TV to see who was playing and one of the first things I heard was who was sitting out the games that day because of their NFL draft prospects. I only played high school ball, but that shit is so far away from what we were taught a football team was about that it makes me sick. How did it get like this?
