Let me just start by saying ... football is a love of mine, or rather the Buffalo Bills are a love of mine. I have been following them since I left Buffalo 21 years ago.
Bills @ Miami ... quite a few years ago |
Bills @ Cowboys ... A Birthday Trip From Mike |
Another Bills @ Miami ... I went to this game every year for 8 years straight! |
Bills Home Game vs. Patriots ... The coldest Mike has ever been in his life |
Bills Home Game ... When Bri and I were in LOVE with Trent Edwards |
Bills @ Jacksonville ... Mike and I's first road trip! I'll spare you the many many more pictures that I have in my Bills Vault and move on to what I really wanted to talk about ... Fantasy Football. I started playing years ago ... so many years that I don't remember how many ... I would guess 9 or 10. Anyways I started my own league about 7 years ago to help teach my brothers and other friends how to play. {side note: if you've never been in a league it is really hard to get someone to let you "learn" in their league ... people take this stuff seriously} Unlike most leagues I hold a Live Draft {for those of you that don't play - a lot of leagues draft online in an automated draft room on ESPN or CBS Sports}. During a live draft everyone gets together and we write down our pics on a draft board. This is harder because you have to pay attention to who has already been taken and have your own rankings printed out {although I provide ESPN's rankings} and of course commentary from everyone else. However it is SO MUCH MORE FUN - and an excuse to eat pizza and wings - as if you should need one. My friend - and owner of a fantasy team in my league - Gavin had the great idea of creating a draft board and printing it out of a plotter {blueprint printer} rather than buying the Fantasy Draft Kit online which can be $100+ So that is what we have done each year So why am I sharing this with you? Other than I love to share that I'm a Bills fan every chance I can get? I am now selling these Printable Fantasy Football Draft Boards in my Etsy Shop I have mine printed at Florida Blueprint here in Sarasota but any Blueprint Shop will do. The one listed in my shop is a standard 12 man league with 16 rounds - however I can always accommodate larger or smaller leagues as well as additional rounds. If you haven't had a live draft for your league yet - maybe this is the year to try it out! |
