    Every Sunday when I’m sitting there watching all the games, I can’t help but play the “what if” game. Not only does it make me feel much better about my team in the current week but it also makes it even harder to make a team the next week. Every time a TD is scored by a player that’s not on my team, my brain immediately goes into the “you idiot, why didn’t you pick that guy” mode. It happens without fail every single week. (Read More)
