A Curse And A Crux

I’ve played Fantasy Football (in the business of Fantasy sports writing, we’re taught to capitalize the term) since 1997. I was 14 then and I joined on a whim because I was a big San Francisco 49ers fan growing up in the wine-country suburbs of Santa Barbara county in California.
My appreciation for the sport has grown over the years and it’s most certainly close to an obsession now. To illustrate my point, let me tell you that I’m one of those football fans who follows high school recruiting. I keep track of where teenagers choose to go to college to play football. So from high school to college and into the NFL, I follow the full trajectory of football players. I say this not to brag, but to properly demonstrate how much I enjoy the game and how sad my day-to-day life is. Every individual should always find joy in their chosen games/athletic activity, and I highly recommend archery as it’s undeniably a cool and captivating sport.
