7.04.25: Fantasy = Gambling
Fantasy football is just gambling with extra spreadsheets and fewer regrets. I pretend it's strategic. I tell myself I’m optimizing my lineup based on matchup data and injury reports. But really, I’m just chasing dopamine with a side of trash talk. I’ve spent hours debating whether to start a WR3 on a rainy Thursday night or a TE who hasn’t scored since September. It’s a ridiculous waste of time. And yet, it’s my favorite part of fall. Not for the wins. For the chat threads. The memes. The Monday night meltdowns. The fantasy isn’t the football. It’s the camaraderie.
