The "Star-Spangled Banner" is on repeat, 24-packs are nestled in the depths of iceboxes across the land, and the warm summer nights smell of freshly manicured grass. I'm not talking about Fourth of July here, I'm talking about the real American holiday, Fantasy Football Kickoff Weekend.
That's right gentlemen, Week 1 of the 4th annual National Couch Athlete League (NCAL) kicks off this Thursday as the defending Super Bowl Champs THE Los Angeles Rams take on the Buffalo Bills and that kid from Firebaugh. However, we all know that the pageantry of the NFL is a mere blip in what this weekend is all about.
Will CMac break his funny bone on the first play of the game and thus my heart? Will Jesse's QB Hero strategy play out or will there be signs of him losing the side bet to Frank after Week 1? Will Frank finally make it to the championships game after finishing in 3rd the past two seasons? Will Tyler finish 0-14? Will YOU make the right waiver calls? Will YOU make the right trades? ARE YOU READY FOR SOME NCAL ACTION?
Gentlemen, with this I leave you with my most insincere wishes, goodnight and good luck.
Commissioner Amedalhi
