Yes, it's February and your fantasy draft is probably a solid 6 months away and yes, you need to pay attention to the NFL Scouting Combine. That is, if you want to win your fantasy league(s).

Obviously the Super Bowl is the culmination of a great season of football and so therefore it's pretty exciting. But it's bittersweet for me - and probably for you, too, if you're reading this (unless you're my friend, Emily, who dutifully checks this site frequently even though she has about zero interest in football). It's the end of the season, my football friends. I tried declaring at happy hour the other night that there is no such thing as the off season. Not sure anyone really bought that. But personally I will do what I can to bring football into your lives until August rolls around.

His skill as a player was obvious - I picked him up as an IDP several weeks into the season and he put up big numbers. In an odd way, when you put so much time and effort into watching football and your fantasy leagues, you start to feel like you personally know the players. I call them "my boys" and read probably a ridiculous amount of news about each of my players. And when I have a Bronco on my team, this feeling of somehow knowing the players is even stronger - does that make sense? So as silly as it may sound to some of you, I feel like I've lost an acquaintance, a buddy, one of my boys .
