by Kevin Burton For the briefest of moments, I thought, “Breece Hall.” I had just been blessed with the first pick in my sixth and last fantasy football draft for 2024. The Yahoo draft mechanism at first flashed “8th” for my draft order, then inexplicably changed to “1st.” Never seen that happen …

Crazy Great News, Then Bad News In Fantasy
by Kevin Burton Something truly bizarre happened to my fantasy football teams last week. They won, all six of them. My K&J Tornados team won by 35.08 points. All the others won by more than that! Now maybe that’s not such a great big deal. After all, one point – or in fantasy …

She Did The Mocking, I Did The Drafting
by Kevin Burton In business, you have to give a report to the CEO from time to time, so she knows what’s going on. It’s called being accountable. And this is serious business. So it was Thursday that the CEO of the Burtons’ fantasy football company paid a visit to the Mock …
NFL/NBC Greed Leaves A Bad Taste
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 …

by Kevin Burton I don’t know what that was last Sunday, but it was something, and it was personal. Was it a self-boycott, playing hooky, a tantrum ( I am good at those)? I guess it was the fantasy football version of the line “I’m just tired and bored with myself” from …
Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, Jumping The Shark
by Kevin Burton America, do we hate the Chiefs yet? On second thought, let me extend the question to the rest of the world, since the NFL plays games in London, Mexico City and Frankfurt, Germany. World, have we had enough? It seems as usual I am behind the times, late to …

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. …
