Thursday Night Power

Thursday night football this season has started off with a bang!  The first two Thursday night games have had star running backs whose plays have scored big for fantasy team owners. Week One, C J Anderson had 92 yards rushing, 47 yards receiving and two touchdowns for an amazing first game of the season. This performance …

How We Named Our Fantasy Football Teams

At first thought, it might seem easy to come up with a name for a fantasy football team.  Some people simply use their favorite player or a combination of their own name and favorite number, but others are putting more effort into coming up with a unique or funny team name. The Fantasy Football Experience …

What We Did Right in Week One

We came through Week One with flying colors!  Don won in both of his main leagues – The Trophy league and the Hall of Fame League.  He is the high-point man in the Hall of Fame League.  I won in the Hall of Fame League; however, I was playing against a ghost team (they are …

The Fantasy Bond

Fantasy Football is a social phenomenon that has gained popularity at a spectacular rate.  An underlying reason for the love of fantasy football is the bond that comes from playing year after year with the same group of people. Don’s trophy league has been in existence since the 1988-1989 season and he joined it in …

Survivor Pools

What a Steal!

After Thursday night’s game, Don is hoping that C.J. Anderson is the steal of the draft! He didn’t select him until the 25th pick in his trophy league.  He also drafted him in the Fantasy Football Experience league. The chatter has been that Denver wants to run the ball this year and even drafted a full …

The Trophy

When Don talked about winning a trophy with his hometown fantasy league, I imagined a 10-inch tall, silver trophy, with a marble base.  Every year the winner has had his name engraved on it, beginning with the 88-89 season. The first year Don won The Trophy after we were married was the 2010-2011 season (he previously won …

Fantasy Freebies

Don’s favorite fantasy football league is his hometown league, but he also enjoys playing free and inexpensive contests.  It is exciting for me when he starts a contest with several thousand people entered, and it is coming down to the finals with only a handful remaining.  I find myself following his players and keeping up with …

PFHOF Fantasy Football Experience League

One of the perks of the Fantasy Football Experience (FFE) is competing in a league with other attendees.  There are six 12-team leagues competing for a grand prize that includes a draft party next season at the Hall of Fame and a championship ring!  Each league winner will win an Enshrinement Package with four tickets …
