I Quit

Monday, September 27th, 2010

This week, the truth finally dawned upon me: fantasy football is horseshit, and I will never play it again after this season. I should have realized this in 2005, when a girl who knew nothing about football other than she liked Tiki Barber won our league title. And I'm not saying ...
