AFFL Fantasy Football League
It's that time of year again. The start of the football season, and you haven't set up your Fantasy Football team yet.
Every year while I worked in an office I took part in the in-house fantasy league. I never won, of course, but even if I did win the prizes were pathetic. Last year the winner took home $100 after a $10 entry fee. Not the best investment, when you think about it.
This year, since I work alone in this damned home office I don't have any colleagues to play with, so I'll be taking part in the AFFL league - and lemme tell you the prizes are pretty damned cool. If I take the free membership option the grand prize is a 40" LCD TV valued at $2,999, while the Platinum option pays out at $200,000. That's foldin' money. Plus you get a crystal trophy worth 9 grand.
So, if you think your football knowledge is second to none it might be a good idea to invest in the Platinum package and take home a few years' salary. If, like me, your instincts are a little more rusty, you might as well take the free option and go for the TV. Either way it makes for a fun season.
