Fantasy Bleh

The football weekend isn't over yet, but so far the guys on my fantasy team are mostly laying eggs (in both leagues). It's funny, but for fantasy owners there comes a tipping-point where you begin to root against your own guys. You know it'll all average out at the end of the year, so, if it looks like you'll lose anyway, you don't mind your guys saving their effort for another day. Why have one guy have his best game during a losing effort?

And so the luckless fantasy owner goes through a roller coaster of emotions:

Noon – Excited and confident.
1:30pm – Frustrated but hopeful.
3:00pm – Cross-eyed with anger.
4:30pm – Pack it up boys, there's always next week. Just don't get hurt too.
