   OK, I may see the similarities, but I’m not a dork damn it! Well at least I don’t ‘talk smack’ or brag about who I’m playing this week. Meh, who am I kidding… Shaun Alexander is going to pwn you next week n00b!!!!

   yeah, you know a little too much about d&d to not ALREADY be a dork.

   and seriously, fucking fantasy football? that’s way way way way way worse than a little d&d.

   it’s lucky you’re already married because your cred? gone.

   You got Alexander in your draft? You lucky sunuvabitch!

   Cinders:
   Yeah, I was a great big dork when I was a kid. Then I got into punk rock and skateboarding and left D&D behind. Don’t get me wrong – I’m still a dork, but my interests are maybe just a little less dorky.

   Sarah:
   1. Actually, those tidbits are a mix of old school D&D references, combined with some mmorpg stuff. But yes, both of those things are dorky and yes I am a dork.
   2. Truth is, I tend to agree with you. Fantasy football may actualy be worse than RPGs.
   3. C’mon now – I never had any cred, you silly goose.

   Hell yea!

   JJ is a hard core D&D fanatic. Either that, or a hard core TNMT RPG fanatic. How old were we when we were kicking the D&D jams? 13 or 14? Regardless, it was time, well, spent. Also brings me back to dungeon master on your old Amiga.

   Were we taking expiditions to the haunted house then? That old barn was fucking freaky at night. At least we had our wristrockets to protect us.

   Anyways, roll to hit.

   Answer: I rolled a fucking 20 and Brady kicked some ass.

    I also agree with Cinders – that was my first thought.. How in the hell does he know so much about that stupid game?

    My husband is ALL OVER the stupid fantasy football.. so I am sticking up for it.
    In my opinion, fantasy football is just an excuse for a bunch of guys to go to a huge sports bar every Sunday, watch sports and get off their asses drunk.

    That is the entire reason behind fantasy football.

    But there are way “dorkier” fantasy things.. Fantasy baseball, fantasy hockey.. and YES.. even Fantasy Nascar.

    Figure that one out!?!?!

    Splinter:
    Kickin’ it old school. Yeah, TMNT was definitely the most fun. Especially when played by demented, cruel, 13-year-old alcoholics in training.

    Soviet:
    Damn. That’s some serious commitment. Or an unhealthy obsession. I’m not sure which.

    LC:
    Yes, there are dorkier things than Fantasy Football. But there are also dorkier things than showing up to a Star Wars premiere decked out in full costume. But that doesn’t make it cool.
    Plus, watching sports and drinking with friends is one thing. Pretending to run your own team in a fictional league is completely different.

    That being said, I readily admit that I’m playing along this year. Our draft was yesterday and I’m already sort of psyched about my team. Fuck!

    I’m willing to admit that I actually love fantasy football (though I love all things football, so it makes sense). That said, I’m actually a gamer, I play D&D, yup, I do. I even play 2ed. AD&D in a 3ed D&D world. Oh and to top of my dorkiness, I also collect Dice!

    I actually won in my fantasy football league the first season I ever played. Hear me roar!

    D&D and FFL are both in my life under the category “Things I can tell my parents/spouse/boss that I am doing without saying ‘getting fucking wasted’” here are some more that I like to use or have used:

    “Going to band practice”
    “going skating”
    “going to the library”
    “going food shopping”
    “meeting with my proffesor”
    “going to work”
    “going to school”
    “playing D&D”
    “FFL night”
    “watchin’ the game”
    “waking up”
    and so on…..
    feel free to invent your own! Now that we know the “real” meaning of these activities its quite clear that you are in no danger of being “Nerdy” or “Dorky” JJ because getting wasted is cool. good luck on your draft picks and dont forget to roll vs. your perception before crossing the street.

    There is nothing wrong with being dorky.
    I’ve played D&D and never gotten into fantasy football.
    I think all of it keeps me from doing other things like,
    uh, lets say smoking and drinking or having unprotected sex with strangers.

    and the Dorks shall inherit the earth

    Ok, I’m obsessed with FFL, but I couldn’t have possibly understood this correlation simply because I never played Dungeons + Dragons. I must say, FFL is not nearly [as] dorky because I can get together with my fellow players and throw back a few drinks while watching an entertaining game or two (or even three)..
    There’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition and smack talking and discussing the rules of the game, great plays and bad calls. Hell, there are radio stations and cable networks dedicated to sports in whole (where many fantasy sports can be derrived). Watching football is a much a national pastime as playing the game is, and practically betting on players’ performances is as addicticting as gambling itself.

    Am I offended?? Ever so slightly.

    To those bastards out there that just don’t get it: It’s time to dream up another wicked come-back for those more social than you.

    There’s one big difference between FFL and D&D. D&D allows players to simulate experiences that could never exist in real life. FFL just takes something that actually exists and makes it impossible. What’s the point? It’s nearly as stupid a concept as twitter, but the sheep will line up in droves…

    I don’t like sports on a good day. A big game of keep away and throwing a ball through a circle? Hitting a ball with a stick and running around in a circle? A big game of keep away with men in really tight pants jumping an each others *sses? beating each other senseless inside a square “ring”? And the pros make more money in a year than I could make over multiple lifetimes? *And* it makes them roll models? I never imagined I’d find anything more stupid. Boy was I wrong! Fantasy sports have not a single redeeming factor. *Who cares*? Sheesh! And people make fun of Trekkers… Pot, meet kettle. Actually, fantasy sports folk are worse. No trekker would ever think that sitting excitedly on the couch and intently watching tv will have an effect on *anything*. I am totally unable to understand..

    Lolamus, take it from a guy who’s played both:

    You’re the SAME GUY as the D&D nerd. You’re even spiky about when people bring up that you’re playing make-believe, just like every D&D nerd I’ve ever met. And if you’ve never played D&D, then how do you know that the people who play it aren’t throwing back a couple beers with buddies too?

    You seem awfully invested in the idea that you’re better than the people who play D&D. Why?

    Just because you’re not a fantasy football fan, don’t push it into the ground. I haven’t seen / heard of any fantasy football related deaths. I can’t say the same about D&D. Congratulations, you are officially a jackwagon. Hopefully you realize this now, Leroy Jenkins. (Yes I know, wow reference)

    I wrote it. Here’s the thing: Fantasy football is fun. It’s a silly game based on a real life game played by men in tight pants. It’s as justifiable as trading baseball cards or playing D&D. And I am a fan. An NFL fan and a FF fan. I simply have the self-awareness to understand it’s a goofy waste of time that makes watching football more interesting than it already is.

    On the other side of the argument, FF encourages fans to put players ahead of the team. Individual accomplishments are more important than the W/L column. You get a stud on your roster who happens to be playing against your hometown team that week, and it might take a little bit of the sting away when your team loses.

    It’s silly. It’s childish. It’s fun. And it’s for dorky NFL fanboys like you and your dorky friends.

    Also – you’re a little bitch.
