Now

I couldn’t wait.

Usually, as the Commissioner of two (now three) fantasy football leagues, I generally don’t open my league offices until the start of training camp.

Not this year.

This blog signifies the opening of my 30^th year of my fantasy football experience. And in case you’re wondering, things have not changed in terms of my passion for the game.

While my overall passion has not waned, I don’t consider myself your typical junkie. I am as intense as Kobe watching tape when I get started, usually from July to December. But at the end of the season, I totally shut it down. I don’t listen to podcasts, read magazines, or watch YouTube shows. I just stop cold turkey.

This year, however, is different. Maybe it’s because I was appointed the Commissioner of one of the leagues that I have been in for more than ten years and it has a special place in my heart. Maybe it’s the competitive nature in myself that I have always had. Maybe I just didn’t want to wait, period.

Whatever the reason, I’m in…earlier than usual. I’m not trying to figure out the who or why. I’m just ready like Kano.
