It started in high school.
A friend of mine organized a Pick the weekly winners league for NFL football. He’d print out a list of all the week’s games, and make a copy for each person playing. It cost $10 to play each week. You picked whoever you thought would win each game, and as a tie breaker you predicted what the Monday night game score would be. There was enough of us playing that if you won just once during the season. Then you were covered for the whole season and then some. I played for three years in his League and my worst Season I won twice. High school ended and I really missed that league. I was able to start a few leagues of my own at different places I worked but never had enough players to make it worthwhile.
Then organized Fantasy Sports came and I was hooked. The NFL weekly structure is King when it comes to Fantasy. Every other Sport is seriously hindered by their schedules. As an addicted Golfer I play Fantasy Golf as well. Although It doesn’t lend itself well to seasonal leagues. It is great for weekly one off tournaments though. Thankfully Golf only has a one month off season so there will be plenty to discuss year round. During football season though be ready to hear my opinion on absolutely everything. I’ve been running a Keeper league on NFL.com for quite a few years now, and it’s as competitive as any league I’ve ever played in including Champions leagues. I plan on running a second league specifically for Blog subscribers so if you think you know Fantasy football. I challenge you to step up. Sign up as a VIP subscriber on my Home page entering Fantasy in the subject line. Then message me through my Contact us page with FF2017 in the subject line, and tell me why you should be selected to compete in the Fantasy football Cobelife league. The League will be Free to enter, but there will be prizes.
If you have a passion for Fantasy football or Golf then you are going to love the articles, and open debates I’ll have on Cobe Life. I’m also an avid Soccer fan but will limit my articles to World Cup, or Euro Cup events.
