Chase Brown: Chasing Heisman Votes

I’ll admit it, fantasy sports have rotted my brain. As an avid fantasy participant in three of the four major sports, much of my sports viewing consists of turning into a statistic junkie, begging for a hit of my running back hitting that next hole for 8 yards, score be damned. Combine the fantasy phenomenon with Chicago/Illinois fandom and you have dangerous cocktail. One whose side effects rival anything you find on the street. I’m so used to cheering for individual performances over wins and losses; it’s unconscious. Illinois lost to Michigan State? My only visit to Memorial Stadium was, so far, the biggest disappointment of the season?
