This is the year of The World Championship of Fantasy Football. Live draft being held in Las Vegas, Nevada. This event has
attracted some big names in the industry and promises to be a fun
time for all involved. I’ll
be there as a surrogate for a friend and look forward to meeting
some of you there.
I think this is one of the better ideas to have come along recently.
Too bad the ante is pretty steep but it seems like it will be worth
the investment.
What makes this so interesting is that I see where a lot of players
are calling out the so called experts in the industry. They want
them to use their published content as their draft list. They want
to see if they practice what they preach and ultimately if that
preaching can turn into winning the World Championship of Fantasy
Football. It’s good to see so much excitement surrounding this
event. I might have to save up my pennies or get Mike Krueger to
sponsor me next year!
The other big story is Steve Spurrier. He has
brought a lot of excitement to the D.C. area, not to mention points
too! I’m still a little leery of the offense but I think that
defense will be really tough to face. I like Steve’s approach
to the game, he’s laid back and not going to let guys like Mariucci
intimidate him. He’s not out there to make friends, he’s out
there to win games.
One area of concern should be Stephen Davis. While it’s hard to
get a read in preseason it appears that Davis will have to adjust
his running style to this new system. I’m not so sure how successful
he will be in doing that, but these next couple of preseason games
will hopefully shed some light on that situation.
