In the bold part, I actually do music for money which makes it a lil more than a hobby to me, as for golf, can’t play the game due a back injury but the bass player in my group plays golf as a Smi Pro player. I will say that in most situations, your right people do those things as a hobby but, in my case I do it for more which may have something to do with my opinion towards FRantasy Football. You put it better than I did as it was less harsh, people let it go to their head and that is where the comment about Fantasy Football came to play, here is the quote I commented on,

Now keep in mind I wasn’t pointing directly at him when I stated that I hate it when people start to think they are capable of running a team as a GM because they are good at Fantasy Football. GMs make millions because they can actually run a team successfully. <---may not be word for word but I am not gonna look up all that , it isn't worth it to me to do so.
Others just took what I said as a personal attack so I guess I was a bit harsh but I was accurate on how I feel. Regardless to to what you said about playing the game for the first time last season, I really don’t want to play the game, don’t feel I should have to nor that I need to bow down and kiss it’s a$$ either. It is a game for those who wish to dream and that isnn’t being hurtfull or insulting, it is accurate. For Gods Sake the name says it all —->Fantasy<


Football.
Would it be more inticing if I said that the game os for those who wish to fanticize about being a GM? I don’t think it matters because someone will always find a reason to microscope my comments if they don’t like them. I can deal with it, hell, I have had the friggin Gov and Military microscoping me all my life so having it done here don’t phase me at all LMAO….
pCe on that

Chris, I am sorry to say but you are just way off base this time around.

I do not believe anyone would sling insulting comments towards your hobby and I will go out on a limb and say that the reason anyone partakes in a hobby it is primarily based on the desire to be good at it while enjoying it as well.

So, you play in a band and get paid and most FF’ers get nothing to play. That does not make your hobby anymore notable however it is non-football related! :D

If your hobby is more notable, you maye as well root out community softball and basketball leagues, golfers and any other sport/activity that does not generate revenue for the participants.

I guess for some of us, that have played sports in our younger years are just stupid for still being competitive even when it is a hobby or a game. However, I must add to this by saying that one person named Martin Truex did get his path into Nascar by beating Dale Earnhardt Jr in race ONLINE. LMAO!! Hmm…Ya never know these days, eh? hehe

Seriously, I doubt that there are more than a thimble full of folks that seriously think they could manage a real NFL team just because they won in an FF League and there are always gonna be extremists that feel as if “they have what it takes.” That’s when you just learn to smile and nod!

No one says you have to do Fantasy Football and no one says you have to kiss the arse of folks that do partake but I don’t believe you have to ridcule the entire fort.

As I mentioned before, if you will take just a minute to let it soak in…..Fantasy football is really more of a strategic game and admittingly, everyone wants to do the best with their choices. It is, in essence, a game. It is no different than playing Madden with the team of your choice…It is a “fantasy/dream” to win the games against others. Period. Simple.

On a final note, good luck with your dreams of being a noted, popular musician. Personally, I have always wanted to have talents in that arena but I am pressed for time. ;-)

See ya!
