Well, it’s that time of year again. No, not the start of ACC conference play, not the beginning of the NBA Playoffs. Not even the beginning of any regular season at all. No, this is mid-August, which means that millions of red-blooded Americans are in the process of talking themselves into shelling out another $50 in league dues to reconnect with their college friends via lopsided trade offers and heated waiver wire feuds. Yes, this is Fantasy Football season.
As one who has a dim view of the current status of the NFL, I often use this time to cast about in an attempt to find some added incentive to invest body and soul in yet another season of bumper brains overseen by Roger Goodell and his inept cabal of minions.
