sad to see you go also NFLLifer….agreed with Professor and Buzz, I'm around too but with an 8mos old and doing 80 hour weeks, unfortunately it effing sucks but I guess life/priorities/responsibilities/etc does change things sometimes 🙁

 

Fanatics is a league that should honestly NEVER go away. A way to keep these friendships (that's what they are to me) at least ALWAYS have 1 main place to go for 12 of us. Kind of like that once a year reunion for the ol' HS crew lol.

 

I did 7 league last year, cut it to 5 this year as I had 2 keeper teams that were just too good to walk away from heading into final season of a core of keepers.  MOST likely, I am going to cut down to 3, and that will be my staple.  Fanatics, my "big" (for me at least) $250 money league, and then a local live auction league with friends here.

 

I'm actually REALLY looking forward to being down to 3 next year, I think it will be a good/better/easier life balance for me, along with a pickem I do.  Even with the 5 leagues I did this year, it was just a TON of time this year, felt like I missed on a WW guy or 2 that in year's past I NEVER EVER would have missed on.

 

I hope, that if NOTHING else, people can still come back and chime in on here, was awesome just to SEE Professor write that he's still around these parts.  Been too long, Prof, hope Oregon is treating you well 🙂

So week 14 I set a season high for league points… Week 15 I score my lowest total in my franchise history and lose to an owner I had a lifetime 11-0 record against.

This week I limped along to a decent score, but well below my average and lose again to an owner that had never beaten me. This owner is newer so I think I was 5-0 against him.

I had lost a total of 1 playoff game in 9 years before this debacle.

Everything just feels right and I'm super excited to be walking away. I wished the fantasy fire had never died, and I hope it stays lit in all of you. It was a rough 3 seasons when this fantasy relationship was really more a love hate and diss functional. I'm sure it has something to do with a little OCD, but I just can't do anything half ass. Ever since I was 5 I would bury myself in certain events/ sports.

Advice to keep the fire burning…. None..

Merry Christmas and hopefully a few of you just brought home the championship!

I guess this is a good way to go out Lifer !   as all have stated ..  your going to be missed ..   actually my Brother In Law went through the same thing a few years ago .. He had been at it since the early eighties ..  Said it was consuming his life to much .  He walked away  . Two years later he came back refreshed but only to participate in one league . Refuses to join multiple .  He has been back to enjoying  the hobby .   Maybe this will be you also ..  once in your blood I don't see it going away forever ..  Hopefully see you back in a couple years !   most of us will still be here waiting !   LOL    Good Luck Bro …     CB  

2024 !  Here we fucking go again ! LOL
