This year I’m following seven different football teams. I can’t stay on top of every game! Here’s my order of priority:
- Old School Fantasy Football League: Now that the Patriots aren’t so great, most of my focus goes here. I’ve been playing fantasy football with this group of people since 2008. This league has a lot of pride in it, the stakes are very high. Over the last couple years I’ve been trading more and more so I need to follow closely. Let’s go Jalen Hurts!
- Atlanta Falcons: Who would have expected this? But they are exciting, a lot of upside, I can get to a couple games in person if they’re good, I don’t need NFL Sunday Ticket, I have Bijan Robinson in both fantasy leagues… let’s go Falcons!
- University of Georgia: My oldest son goes here. They won the national championship his freshman and sophomore years, and they have good odds to do it again now in his senior year. We usually go to a game each year. Go Dawgs!
- University of Michigan: My own alma mater, the defending national champions. I doubt they’ll be great this year. But if they have a good season, they could easily move up a couple ranks in this depth chart.
- New England Patriots: I’ve followed them since I knew what football was. I had the twenty greatest years with them any fan could hope for. I followed them for a couple more after that. But this year — there’s not even hope. C’mon.
- Florida State University: My son just started there, I was all ready to be a fan, I had them higher in this list — and then they lost the first two games before the real season started. Sad. I’ll tune in for scores I suppose.
