Sixteen weeks of (so-called) fantasy

A collection of stories about Fantasy, Fantasy Football and the word love in some language where it is spelled with a "F".

I know marriages that lasted less than a fantasy football season. You could be married, divorced and married again (hopefully, to another person) during the duration of a fantasy football season. I don't know about your league, but in fourteen weeks a lot can happen. 

Spike TV had a Rocky marathon during Thanksgiving weekend. I read all of the IMDB trivia on Rocky, 1976. Which was released three years before I was born. I stayed and watched the pivotal second running up the museum steps scene.  I once sat there and spent three hours watching people running up the steps. It was quite humorous and joyful. I hooted and hollered. Wrote out scores on a piece of paper for those who made the trek with their hands raised above their head. I think I gave everyone a 10. If, you ever have the chance to, go and watch it. Wait a minute, we are living on borrowed time. Instead of watching it and seeing humans at play, be the human running up the steps. 

Where am I going with this?

On your first day of being divorced, I hope you play the song "Fantasy" by Earth, Wind and Fire. Full steam ahead make it up your proverbial Rocky steps.

"Spoken like a complete git who has never been divorced", responds my good friend Darla. "Talk to me about running up steps when the man you were with for ten years leaves you for a stripper named Fantasy".

Fantasy, a-ha! Romance, I respond  in my head.

What's My Name Again?

Tell me she spells it with a "Ph" and two ee's", I ask with eyes wide open.

...working on somethin'.

Tell me there is a kid out there named 'Fantasy Football' insert middle and last name. I always liked the named shotgun insert last name here, but others may think our child was named because of a shotgun marriage. Not to mention the weapon implications. ...
