Opinion, Team FYN Sports July 3, 2012
This year, as it seems most years usually do, has flown by, so much so that my email check yesterday led me to a pleasant surprise: an ad for fantasy football 2012 on the side. Really, it’s almost time for fantasy football again?
This season will mark the fourth year of playing fantasy football for me, and although I haven’t been what you might call “successful” (a championship my inaugural season is all I have to show for sleepless nights full of research), there’s definitely no other way I would want to spend my Sundays—and for that matter, the six days following.

All jokes aside, sorry for the Rakim, my wife bared her soul and had our daughter last week so I’ve been changing diapers and burp clothes for the last week; however, that doesn’t mean that the happenings in the sports’ world has gone unnoticed.
