It's June, and I'm Feeling Frisky...or Anxious

 Hello, League-Mates! And welcome to a very special addition of "The Fantasy Report with Carl". I want to extend a more formal welcome to the new league members. This "Report" is more like a reflection that I compose from time-to-time. I will not lie, sometimes I feel like these reflections are Pulitzer Prize winners. More often than not I feel as if I have done a great service for my fellow league-mates. Whether you agree is for you to decide, not me. Will this be a Pulitzer Prize winner? I don't think so, but maybe over the course of the next few paragraphs it will morph into something that makes you truly sit back and think. I digress. 

Our league has officially expanded to 12-teams. It is a new chapter for us (I could quote a particular line from a very famous Bob Dylan song right now, but I would rather be forced to listen to a Maroon 5 album than give that arrogant, self-righteous prick any unknowing satisfaction of getting any recognition in my blog). We are entering a new chapter of the league, and I welcome it with open arms. Just like an American getting selected to be the Pope, I was surprised and overwhelmed with joy that we expanded to 12-teams. 

I have lived the 12-team life for a decade now, and I cannot stress how much more fun it is...and involved. There are going to be players drafted that you may not have even heard of until draft day. Injuries can literally derail a season. The FAAB is a tool that must be utilized, as free agents don't slip through the cracks like they may do in a 10-team league. This league has not shown a propensity for trades in the past. Those inclinations are archaic. I am giving you all some serious advice here: trades can be season savers!!

Please do not misconstrue my words above and take them as though I am Chicken Little. Far from it. I am merely a shepherd of good merit and want nothing but the utmost fun to be had by all. I came here to give you all my experiences, and I can only hope that some heed my advice instead of making a mockery of it. 

I will leave you all with a line from my favorite Simpsons episode. "Fear not, I am your Spirit Guide...there is a lesson you must learn."




I wish you all peace, love, and Fantasy Football prosperity. 

Sincerely, 

Carl
