Fantasy football would be far more fun if it was real

I tried fantasy football once.

It just gave people I didn’t even know extra reason to ridicule me. I need less of that in my life, not more. I only won one game that season, so like most everything I’m immediately not an expert at I quit and denounced the practice.

Fantasy football would be much more interesting if it was — literally — fantasy football. What if every NFL mascot was released at once inside a football stadium in a winner-take-all brawl? Who hasn’t wondered who would win a showdown between a 49er and a Viking, a Cardinal versus a Seahawk or a Dolphin sparring with a Jet?
