slo’s MONDAY 8/29 poll - Fantasy Football

[slo]

Do you, or someone in your home, participate in Fantasy Football?
If yes, have you ever won at the end of football season?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..I personally do not, but my DH does (he has won twice).
Our neighbor has been organizing Fantasy Football for over 10 years. In the beginning, on draft day, everyone would go to our neighbor’s house and he would have a very organized and impressive board for the event (the kids will never forget this day - they weren’t allowed in the garage, where it’s always held, and if they did enter, they weren’t allowed to talk - it was a very serious event - LOL! Now that the girls are older they always laugh about it).Now, in a more technological world, it’s done by computer. Some still go next door to do the draft, but others that live farther away, can now do it from home. Draft Day is always a big and fun day every year on our little block.

My brothers do Fantasy Football every year so when they come over for coffee on the weekends I hear about it....a lot! I do like football but never personally have done Fantasy Football. I do like college football better than pro.

Is the second option meant to be I don't do it? I don't, but know what it is, no desire to try it, and oddly my DH is not into any sports despite seeming like he would be. Yep, stereotyping my own husband

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Don’t do it, don’t know anybody who does, and don’t want to do it.

 

[Meriweather]

I don't do it....I don't like football.
DH doesn't do it and he doesn't care for football either.

My kids might, but I don't really know. Never talk football with them

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I don’t do it - not a sport I follow except I watch Super Bowl for commercials only - with that being said - one year at work I kept getting congrats on how well I was doing (?) seems a coworker was using my name to run two trying to win the pot - grrr - I shut that down as I was not asked and it’s not fair or right !!
Same coworker tried same thing with basketball March Madness - again I was doing well on that one too another sport I don’t follow - shut that down too - said coworker was my boss - he eventually got fired

 

[bennifer]

I've never done it, DH has never done it. I don't like or follow football at all

 

[Dan Murphy]

I don't and never have. Marie and Natalie do not. If anybody did, it would be Vince, and I don't think he does.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Nope. Zero interest in my household.

You could maybe get some traction in my house with fantasy pro cycling. Apparently, this is something people do. I'm guessing in Europe.

 

[soccerdad72]

I've done it pretty much every year for 15-20 years. Sometimes two leagues. Lately, my younger son has been my "co-owner". The current league used to be all workmates, but I think there's only 2 or 3 of us left that still work there - many have retired by now, but still play in the league.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Don’t do it, don’t care to do it. For the most part, I don’t follow football, nor does DH. However, for several years, I did participate in a weekly office football pool and won a few times.

 

[Praying Colonel]

I play in 2 leagues: one at work and one online. I learned that playing in more than 2 leagues makes it to confusing for me to keep up with.

I've won both leagues. The work league is the one I care about more--no $ involved, just bragging rights and a big ugly trophy. I won that one in 2014.

 

[disney212]

Zero interest in our house as we are not fans of watching sports. I just asked DH and he said "nope".

 

[disneychrista]

No interest in fantasy sports. Only a vague interest in actual sports.

 

[Smugpugmug]

Zero interest in fantasy sports and truthfully I don't really know how it works. I also don't have any interest in watching sports in general, not just American football.

 

[lovesmurfs]

Other. I know what it is. Neither I nor anyone in my household/family are interested in it.

 

[Mysterian]

Of course not. It's like D&D but with football. One can never really "win" fantasy football, because everyone who plays loses.

 

[MamaMermaid]

No fantasy football in my house or any interest.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Our sons are adults and live elsewhere. Younger son, 45 now, has played for years, and I do believe he has won.

I watch football. Local team is Eagles, and I watch college football. Notre Dame fans in our house!

 

[CynBeth]

No fantasy football for us DH and I just love watching football and baseball or attending games not interested in the gambling components.
