Fantasy Football is Really Realer Than You Think!

My heart is pounding, sweat on my simian-like brow. The garage needs cleaning — but screw that (see this week’s Cutting Board)! My Fantasy Football League Draft is about seven hours away. It will be six hours before I know my randomly selected draft order. Will I get Adrian Peterson (the good one)? Or, with this being a 14 team league, will I have to settle for like a Frank Gore-type guy? This stuff matters and don’t tell me it doesn’t!

You see, I am the Owner/Coach of the Pismo Clamms, in a free Yahoo Fantasy League with a bunch of Facebook buddies. Pride hangs in the balance, every pick will be viewed with a “Damn! I wanted him!” or a snickering, “What a tool, that guy broke his leg in practice this morning.) Believe me, the last thing you want to be is “a tool” in a fantasy football league. Think about it, where do you go from there?

Now, leave me alone, I’m trying to decide if I go WR or QB in the third round if Clinton Portis is still on the board. Damn, the Doom Chihuahuas* got him.

*Actual team name in our league. The Inglorious Buzzards look tough too.

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
