Word: Fantasy Football
Definition: A fantasy sports game in which participants (called “owners”), arranged into a league, each draft or acquire via auction a team of real-life American football players and then score points based on those players’ statistical performance on the field.
Usage: I kick all my friends arses in Fantasy Football every year during the football Season. And, the San Diego Chargers suck.

Oops…I guess that’s two sentences. Go ahead and disregard that last sentence since it is more of a bitterness than the sentiment that the Chargers were poorly coached and managed team that had potential to win the SuperBowl but failed to do so due to mismanagement.

So I am a big fan of Football (not the Beckhams) in the US. And as any true fan of the sport, I am also an avid Fantasy Football player. I know my stats and I know all of the 2nd string Tight Ends in the NFL. So when I came to London, I was quite pleased to know that Fantasy Football is actually quite popular here.

Wait a sec….in reviewing the rules, I realized there were no Tight Ends involved at all…no Quarterbacks, no CornerBacks, hell here they are:

Bloody hell. That aint football! That’s soccer!!!! Fantasy Soccer?!?! WTF?
