The Downside of Owning a Fantasy Team...

...is having to root for players you'd normally love to see fail. Pulling for Lacy and Marshall goes against my grain, but I am.

Barring a Freeman miracle, it's a lost season for the Vikes anyway, but still...

I knew exactly what you were gonna say as I was reading the thread title. I am a Ram fan and sometimes can't sleep after a loss (yes, I don't sleep much during football season) but if my player is going against them I root for both and hope for a win. What makes it worse is the last few years I haven't owned many Rams so I usually can't even root for a Rams player on my team. The good thing: Usually the other team doesn't own any Rams either so I don't have to root against them....lol.

I found myself doing that Thursday night. I was playing the guy with Seattle defense so was hoping AZ would score late, they did and I felt a little shitty about it.

With you being a Vikes fan who drafted a Bear and a Packer..I have no sympathy for ya!

But I get ya..I just dealt Charles in the big deal for D. Thomas. ..routing for a Bronco on any level makes me absolutely sick!

Yup. It's also a weird feeling for people like me, who put their teams ahead of their fantasy teams.

When one of my players score against the Bears, I'm pissed, but it's like there's this small part of me inside that's VERY SLIGHTLY like "Oh, at least it was so-and-so."

I'm still more pissed than happy, but it's just enough to mess with my head. I don't like that feeling, but I'm also not going to sit a guy against the Bears just because. That's silly. You have no effect on the game. Just be honest and play him if he's going to have a good day.

I was watching the Skins yesterday and caught myself cheering as Forte was scoring all his touchdowns.

Heh. Jets have always been my 2nd favorite team. :rollseyes:

I found myself rooting against Jordy yesterday which worked out for the most part.

On another hand, I never wish injury to any player, especially a player on the team I root for. When Finley went down I was bummed. Then I thought, well if Jones can come back next week, he gets more targets. I feel dirty for thinking that.

I gotta say, of all the teams in the North, the Bears are the team I hate the most. So when Cuntler hurt his vag again on Sunday, I was pleased. I do not ever want to see them do well.

I respect GB the most out of all the teams, but they should get a 5-yr playoff ban for the fact that they went straight from Favre to Rodgers. BS I tell ya!

I'd memory serves, a lot of teams could've had Rodgers, including your Lions (big mike williams). Can't sympathize with that much. .

Aww man, you can't bring that up. Matt Millen has to be one of the worst GM's ever. If anything I feel for the fact that they had to put up with that idiot calling the draft.

 

[TREFF]

That is a fair point. .Millen was a joke

I watched the Football Life:Matt Millen and it was stated that the entire offseason leading up to the draft, Millen was going to take Demarcus Ware. Then right before the draft, a bunch of numbnuts started getting in his ear about what an offense we'd have if Joey "Twinkle toes" Harrington had another weapon in Mike Williams. Well.....you know what happened next. Dumb fuck.
