At this moment, something like 40-60 million people in the United States and Canada are deeply invested in their Fantasy Football leagues. But if you were to bring up that term at 25-30 years ago, you would have been given a blank stare, or maybe something entirely different…
Then again, it would have also been considered fantasy back then that the NFL’s leading receiver would sign an enormous contract, then play games with and screw over the Oakland Raiders, one of the league’s most proud and fabled organizations (see last week’s toon).
Nothing lasts longer than the NFL off-season. So no matter how your team (fantasy or home) did this past weekend, it’s always nice to finally get the season started!
Note: For those with an eye for detail, I make a case that fantasies aren’t always bound by team allegiances…or by brick walls.
