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...

Dallas Mavs ~ Texas Rangers ~ Thoughts on the Super Bowl ~ Dallas is Freezing

Dallas Mavericks 13-14 (wins-losses) I feel like we've been on a rollercoaster with the Mavs, but I like the direction we're going now. As for how NBA and NFL players feel about our cold weather... that's a funnier story. The Mavs longest stretch of losses was six games in mid-January. It was not fun and the team looked confused as to why they couldn't pull out a win. A few guys have been out, off and on, due to illness or injury, but now they're all back and are rolling. Especially Kristaps Porzingis . They keep joking that he's playing how he did back in September 2020 when they were in the NBA bubble, before his knee injury. Now that he has healed and is playing more minutes per game, he has been on fire! To see a 7'3" guy drain 3 pointers like he does is amazing. I mean, if he raises his arms, they're already above the rim, so he just has to put the right arc on it and swish. So cool! His stats vs. the Pelicans in Friday night's victory:...

The Masters, in all its beauty ~ Texas Rangers ~ Dallas Mavs ~ Get Outside

The Masters The ultimate Bucket List item and one of the ones that exceeded my expectations. If you play golf, have a family member who makes you watch golf or take naps to golf, you understand that The Masters is the holy grail of golf tournaments. It is the only PGA tournament that is played in the same location every year, Augusta, Georgia. Thanks to very dear friends of mine, I had the chance to walk through the azaleas, experience the serenity of Amen Corner and watch the players skip golf balls across the water at Hole 16. If they allowed people to sleep on the grass, I would have stayed forever. We were there for two days of practice rounds, which is fun because the players are relaxed and cut up with one another. They cancelled the Par 3 Contest, which was sad, but just being there was the most wonderful feeling ever. You can't take phones in, so I even called my parents from the phones at Augusta, just to do so. We also didn't realize you could bring in a real camer...
