My husband, too, is into the fantasy football thing, and will spend endless hours parked on the couch watching Sports Center, taking copius notes, while the house goes unvaccuumed for yet the fourth week in a row. Unlike you, I've been a football fan since birth, so I understand it a little more, but I choose my teams based on criteria similar to yours - namely their logo, mascot, and team colors. My husband will never understand my reasoning for disliking the Dolphins... but teal and orange? Come now, who picked those colors? My point is this: join your husband's fantasy league (as I did last year), and pick the cutest players with the tightest butts, who are nice to their wives and donate to charities that help sick kids. Maybe you'll prove to him, like I did, that all the knowledge about football may not matter as much as a little blind luck. Last year I picked all my favorite players, who my husband said would be terrible for my fantasy team, and, to his chagrin, I ended up creaming the rest of our league. :-) Allison,

I hope I did not offend anyone. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm quite a kidder. Ask Rob. Wait, no don't ask Rob. I'm afraid he might divulge too much information on me. Football season is over. I'm focusing on hockey (my wife likes hockey too) now. 16 and 3 record baby! Hah, sorry if I sounded sexist. I hope I did not offend anyone.

It is sexist to generalize that women like scrapbooking. In fact, my wife loves to watch football games and will gladly sit down with me on Sundays with a cold beer. Sorry about your 3-11 record. I fared better and got into the playoffs. Better luck next year. Hey, it’s ironic that you name yourself after a cartoon skunk that lives life looking for love.

Go join a scrapbooking club! Just be glad Chris is in only one league or are there others? I don't think my wife would have an issue with it if I would win the season-ending championship (nice amount of money involved) once in a while. My 3 and 11 record this year didn't sit well with her but its not gonna stop me from playing. :) Hey Allison, you sound like my wife. Go join a scrapbooking club!

My husband is a Sr software engineer at ESPN. He wrote the software that makes the fantasy football leagues run- at least at ESPN. My profound sympathy & apologies. ;-) I feel so guilty.
