This makes zero sense.

And we might sound like old ladies, but you sound like Elmhurst Steve.

I only care about Fantasy Football and couldn't give two shits about real football. Once my team is eliminated (only won it all once so I'm eliminated early more often than not) I stop watching the NFL. Don't have a favorite team, don't care about the playoffs, haven't seen the Super Bowl in many years.

That said, I'm nowhere near as invested in FF nowadays as I was years ago. used to study for the draft and all the crap, never got me anywhere. This year my research consisted of watching one episode of Hard Knocks and somehow my team is 5-1. Watch the Red Zone every week and fast forward to TDs and close games in the 4th quarter.

Oh, and I listen religiously the Fantasy Sports on satellite in my car from start of football season till my teams are done, find that so much more interesting than actual football talk. Love hearing people call in with horrible trade scenarios, those never get old.

You all sound like a bunch of old ladies. Fantasy sports is GREAT. Not playing hasn't stopped you from having to hear about other people teams and you're the ones that didn't have the ability to separate fantasy from reality.

Steve isn't always wrong. I've never had an issue separating my fantasy teams from the teams I root for. My meatballism forced me to bench Rodgers in 2 championship games. I would rather lose than win because of him. People talking about their fantasy teams is not much different than people talking about their kids or pets.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Is it me or did he completely contradict himself with these three sentences?

No. I'm a diehard fan of all my teams. Starting Aaron Rodgers when he's playing against the Bears would probably be good for my fantasy team in a championship game. Since that title would make me feel dirty if the Bears lost (like they normally do against the Packers) I benched him. That's called being a true fan.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

That's basically our point. Thank you.

Then you HAVE had an issue separating your fantasy teams from the teams you root for...???

That's different than what most people are complaining about. They're saying people root for players on their fantasy team even if it hurts the team the root for. I'm saying I've never had that problem and never will have that problem.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Basically it sounds like you all hate hearing people talk about things you aren't interested in.

You don't have to really listen though. You can be polite and then move on. It doesn't kill you. Do you also hate kids and pets? Basically it sounds like you all hate hearing people talk about things you aren't interested in.

Yes. Is that not normal or something?

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Nas are you feeling ok?

I'm fine. Just confused about why listening to someone talk about something for 30 seconds can ruin an experience for someone and why being polite is so hard. Can you assist me?

If I ask you about the FOOTBALL GAME last night and you proceed to tell me about your fantasy team, you have ceased the politeness of the conversation, not I. I will just act accorddingly from there on out.

i doubt anyone would've cared about my d&d character sheet, for example.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

[ I've had to listen to things I wasn't interested in for years in order to feed my kids so I'm used to it. .
