No WE are not. I am! We Leals (Andy, Beth, Mandy, Mark, Alex, and I) participate in fantasy football. Our league is called the Extreme Croquet League and Mandy is the manager. Each year, we choose a date in August when we can all get on our respective laptops and computers to draft our teams in a frenzied, online, activity. Here are a couple of pictures from a prior year's draft:
Each year's winner is taken out to dinner paid for by the rest of the league (by the way, this has never happened). However, a coveted trophy is given to the winner and that person gets to keep the trophy until the next football season produces a new winner. We are actually on our third trophy because the first two broke. This is what the latest one looks like:
We started the league in 2005, so have six years of fantasy football behind us.

You go, Girl! Glad you won. And you be sure and get that dinner out. Love it!
hey, i never got my dinnerSSSS??? I think we all owe dinners to the past winners!
Although I think I still owe for the last two trophies that my children have broken;)
I just realized that I never even sent out a congratulations e-mail to you for winning!!! Doesn't it feel nice??
You're back in blogger world. How fun for all of us. This fantasy football cracks me up and I don't understand one thing about it. Mckay is way into it. All I know is I hate that Roethisrapist - isn't he the QB for Philadelphia that raped a girl and then paid her off to not press charges? And I was sad to see Tom Brady's team beat Tebow because Brady dumped his wife for a younger version. That's about all I ever base my football likes and dislikes on - what's happening in their personal lives that I know about. Silly me. But so glad to have you back!!!
Ohmygoodness, Caroline....I didn't know that I had bad boys for my QB's! I don't stay up on their personal lives, as you can tell!
