How to play Fantasy Football... for Non-Fantasy Football Players... (yes, that's a real group of people)

Step 1 - Join a League, ESPN FANTASY, YAHOO FANTASY
Step 2 - Draft, phone a friend, let the computer draft for you, etc.
Step 3 - Remember when games are, so you don't forget to set your team
Step 4 - Setting your Roster each week... this is where it gets tricky...

Injuries... depending on which site you're playing on... the players will have a Q, P or O next to their name. This is a good time to click on the little, yellow note icon next to the players name and see what his injury is. Remember, GM's and Head Coaches do NOT care about Fantasy Football and will announce injury updates as it benefits them the most! aka... keeping a players status under wraps until game-time... which is a surprise to the opponent.

Timing... there are Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday games in the NFL!!! So make sure to set the notifications on your Fantasy League to remind you to set your roster before the FIRST game each week. If you only have players that play on Sunday... you can set them Sunday... Friday-Eve and Saturday days that will get you!

BYE Weeks... The first BYE week is Week 4... at least 4 teams each week have an "off-week" - you will need to either pick-up new players to slot them in your roster or use guys on your bench. As you play fantasy for years and years... you try to draft with the BYE week in mind. If your starting QB is on a Week 8 BYE, draft a QB that is not Week 8, etc.

Step 5... Try to win!!! Against all odds!! :)

We play for trash talking rights in my two leagues... it's good enough for me.

If you have to play for $$$... FanDuel is probably the route you want to take!!

Dirk Nowitzki ~ Dallas Cowboys Free Agency ~ Texas Rangers ~ Selection Sunday ~ Loveland, CO

GO MAVS!!! 27-36 (wins - losses) Dirk, Dirk, he's our man... if he can't do it... no one can!!! Well, only 5 other guys can and have. Dirk is now 6th on the all time list of NBA players to score 30,000 points . This is a crazy accomplishment. He's played over 1,300 games in his 19 year career with the Dallas Mavericks. His commitment to this team and to our city has been life changing for many. He does a lot in our community through the Dirk's Heroes Foundation . Fundraising and giving grants to non-profits in our community and around the world that are making an impact in the lives of children and families in need. Back in the day, the Mavs games were fun to watch with the " Three J's " - but we didn't win a lot, and we never thought we would make it to the playoffs consistently, much less to the NBA Finals. ( Three J's: Jimmy Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd - here's a funn...

Week 11: Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Mavs ~ Gift Guide for Black Friday

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-1 1st in the NFL (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Sunday, November 20th Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second) 12:00 PM CST on CBS First things first... the Cowboys are playing amazing football right now! Even sportscasters who don't like the Cowboys can't stop talking about them. I mentioned last week that we are the most balanced team in the league. When your Offense and Defense share an even amount of time on the field, it is easier to stay fresh and productive. If you leave your D out there too long, they're bound to make mistakes. So even with our Offense being as productive as they are, they are still staying on the field long enough to keep it balanced. The Cowboys have a total of 219 first downs this season and lead the league at Offensive time of possession, 33:39 minutes ( an NFL football game is made up of 4 quarters, 15 minutes each, a total of 60 minutes ). ...

POSTSEASON BASEBALL: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers ~ Baseball Etiquette ~ Dallas Cowboys Over-reaction Tuesday

GO RANGERS !!! ALDS PLAYOFFS - THIS THURSDAY It's official... we are playing the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS. Dang it. I can't stand the Blue Jays. They have trashy fans. No, literally, they throw trash on the field . And Jose Bautista is a punk. No one needs your bat flippin' drama! And we all remember this... Odor punching Bautista earlier this year. Watch . All the sports people are going to have a field day over this. I bet they wish they had given us the evening time slots now! Except that Toronto's TV ratings don't count, eh? How we win... stay focused. Eliminate the drama. We beat them during the regular season. We can do it again. No hitting batters, no one getting ejected. We need our entire roster in the ALCS. We need to play Texas Ranger baseball. Period. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Games 1 and 2 are this Thursday at 3:30 PM and Friday at Noon in Arlington, TX. Games 3 and 4 are Sunday and Monday in Toronto. ...
