Because it gives you the view of an actual coah. You can manage your team and players. It is as close to the real sport as you can get. Plus there is braggin rights..  =)\n\nFantasy sports rule!

Because guys are obsessed w/ sports????\n\nAs a girl, there's nothing stopping you from playing.  In fact, you have an advantage.  Everyone's expectations of a girl's fantasy managerial skills might be pretty low.  If you do badly, no harm done & you regroup to try again next year.  If you kick some tail, you turned some heads & get some well deserved respect.  Nothing to lose.... not being chauvinistic, just giving a highly generalized opinion.

Oh, I remember the days of "sootball."  A mixture of softball and football where the PQB (Pitching Quarterback) would use his wicket to knock the softfoot out of the pitch.\n\nWhat memories.\n\nIf you meant fantasy football, that is an insane question.  Whom are you referring to when you ask "who?"  I guess I have the best fantasy football team because I don't know who else to compare my team to.

Sports are a great diversion. Especially for men, I believe, it allows them to unleash emotion in ways that are no longer tolerable elsewhere in society. It allows us to reach back to our primal instincts. There is clear victory and defeat, and cheering is a great release of stress. Unfortunately, losing only adds to our stress. That's why you see so many people jumping on the bandwagon of a winning team

Expert picks happen all of the time in everywhere. Do you not see on the March Madness preview shows where people predict the winners? Do you not see draft boards of who gets picked where in any fantasy sport? Experts aren't always experts. They are just people who have succeeded before and who research the sport well. The experts aren't even reigning supreme in any sports for Yahoo this year. So they are not ruining the game, if you actually like the game and have a decent strategy you will win your league.

Well, first of all like all guys say, "It's a guy thing" and that's part of it, but the reason we know that is because we watch so much sports and they are always talking and/or showing a certain person's statistics and we constantly see that over and over till it glues to our heads and then when someone asks "How many home runs do you think A-rod will hit this year?"  "I'd say about 45 because he has averaged that in the most recent years."  Or if someone asked "What is this guys statistics?"  You would say he is batting .325 14HR&45RBI" and he asks "How did you know that?"  He would say "First of all, I am a guy and second they show this stuff show much it almost becomes relevent at times"  So I guess that's futher into the point of how we know, I hope that was a little helpful.

I have subscribed to SI for the past 5 years now, and I have never thought of myself as weird.  My boyfriend loves the fact that I have knowledge about sports, and from watching the NBA playoffs with me the past couple weeks, he has learned a lot that he didnt know before about the rules and calls that refs make.  I think it is completely normal, and gives you a leg up from the rest if you are single... all guys I have come in contact with have loved the fact that I know as much or more than they do about sports and can actually converse with them about things.

If you are a married woman, it keeps your husband busy.  Yap, that's important.\n\nAnyway, it's fun.  Not only that, it gets people to know more about the game and more about the players.  And sports is about stats.  That matters.

Basically fantasy sports come from real live stats that players have during that night or weeks game.  Lets look at fantasy football as an example:\n\nNow you can get points for:\nPassing Yards, Rushing Yards, Receiving Yards, Touchdowns, Interceptions, fumbles, and so on.\n\nBelow is the point system for your average fantasy football league:\nPassing Yards (50 yards per point)\nPassing Touchdowns (6)\nInterceptions (-2)\nRushing Yards (20 yards per point)\nRushing Touchdowns (6)\nReception Yards (20 yards per point)\nReception Touchdowns (6)\nReturn Touchdowns (6)\n2-Point Conversions (2)\nFumbles Lost (-2)\nOffensive Fumble Return TD (6)\nField Goals 0-19 Yards (3)\nField Goals 20-29 Yards (3)\nField Goals 30-39 Yards (3)\nField Goals 40-49 Yards (4)\nField Goals 50+ Yards (5)\nPoint After Attempt Made (1)\nSack (1)\nInterception (2)\nFumble Recovery (2)\nTouchdown (6)\nSafety (2)\nBlock Kick (2)\nPoints Allowed 0 points (10)\nPoints Allowed 1-6 points (7)\nPoints Allowed 7-13 points (4)\nPoints Allowed 14-20 points (1)\nPoints Allowed 21-27 points (0)\nPoints Allowed 28-34 points (-1)\nPoints Allowed 35+ points (-4) \n\nNow you usually have Quaterback, Widereciever, Widereciever, Widereciever, Running Back, Running Back, Tight End, Kicker, Defense, and 6 bench spots  for players you may not use one week but maybe the next. \n\nNow you just need to do a little research and find the best players so when you draft you get the best team possible.  You also need to keep an eye on free agents during the season and pick someone up who is doing well.  It is fun and it is not that complicated once you are exposed to it.

That's so damn funny. It's just what they're into, I guess. It's like how normal guys will go on ad nauseum about football plays and stuff like that.
