by Kevin Burton The NFL has just invited me, and you, to not watch football on TV. You want to be careful doing a thing like that. It would appear that I can live without it. This is a working hypothesis. Forgive me for not having it all thought out and laid …

Note To Cincy’s Tee Higgins, All Is Forgiven
by Kevin Burton My Kool & The Gang tape doesn’t play so well anymore. Found this out Sunday. I had the greatest hits record on CD, but I lent it to one of my neighbors when I lived in Ohio and never got it back. But I had to hear the song, Celebration, …

“Here Comes Foster!” There Goes Al Michaels
by Kevin Burton I love me some Al Michaels. Our sportscaster-sports consumer relationship goes back more than 50 years. How much do I love Al Michaels? Well, I watched the entire unwatchable Raiders-Chargers game Thursday because he was calling it. I didn’t even have any fantasy players involved. And I’ve been watching …

A Moment With Mom And Sweet Victory
by Kevin Burton My mother doesn’t know anything about fantasy football, but she knows a lot about perseverance. Both truths were evident Monday night. I was watching Monday Night Football when she called, and she was still on the line with me when the game ended. To set the scene: …
Dallas Defense Was The Stuff Of Fantasy
by Kevin Burton Before she went to bed Sunday night I told my co-manager/wife that we had lost our Muppets of Beepball League fantasy football opener, because we trailed by 46 points. The opponent was out of players but all our K&J Silvers team had left was one running back and our defense. …
Kev’s Fantasy Football And Stupid Draft Tricks
by Kevin Burton I just broke the all-time record for fastest to drop a player off a fantasy football roster. If you know fantasy, you know this is not a happy occasion. Footballs have not even begun to fly yet. That comes tomorrow when the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs host Detroit. …

How Many Fantasy Teams Are Too Many?
by Kevin Burton If having one fantasy football team is great fun (which it is), wouldn’t having more than one team be even more fun? That is the question I asked last year, in my second year as a fantasy manager. I answered it in the affirmative. Yes indeed, great big ridiculous fun! …
