I’ve committed myself to watching enough NFL football shows that I might come to like it. Fantasy Football? — that’s another can o’ worms entirely and I’m not interested — for the time being, anyway. I know it’s increasingly popular and I’ve noticed plenty of ads during NFL broadcasts for various for-profit Fantasy leagues. For […]
