Fantasy Life

This trimester I have started read Fantasy Life the Outrageous, Uplifting and Heartbreaking World of Fantasy Sports from the Guy Who's Lived It by: Matthew Berry. The book so far is actually pretty funny and interesting because I can really relate to some of the stuff he talks about. Every year my friend and I run a Fantasy Football League and it is always pretty fun. Fantasy Football can bring people together and can make for some pretty funny times. Matthew Berry describes one of the leagues he was in and what they do "A month before the draft, Ryan tells me, we all start growing out mustaches. And then Ryan went one step further. I take pictures of all the guys staches, and throughout the season I make vintage 1970-era football cards for each of them with their league nickname and their actual NFL team of choice." As you can see people love Fantasy Football. If you're in a intense or serious league that has money involved then you wouldn't miss the draft for anything.

It was the day of one of Matthew Berry's Fantasy Football League draft and one of his friends, Joe had something come up and was called in to work. Joe worked at Red Robin and worked as the big Red Robin that walked around and made people smile and hugged people. As Joe explains, "It wasn't easy. Turns out, a cheat sheet taped inside my beak was not ideal. Nor was making picks quietly enough so the children at nearby tables couldn't hear. It was however, a fun and memorable experience. Jeff agrees. It ended up being the most fun we've ever had at a draft."
