My wife hates July and August

11
Vote

by user Joebook

I'm a fantasy sports junkie. No secret about it.

These months are my heaven. I'm currently in four fantasy baseball leagues, and I'm sitting on top of three of them. In addition, there are only seven short weeks until my fantasy football draft, of which I'm the defending champion. I'm not saying this to toot my horn, but it takes a lot of work to be that good.

That's why my wife hates this time of year.

Now before I get comments that I'm a bad husband or a horrible person, I'll say that you don't know me. Look, I don't neglect her. When she asked me to take her to the dentist today, I did. I'm keeping up with the laundry and other chores. It just happens to be that I've been spending every moment of "free" time preparing for football and maintaining baseball. We have a healthy marriage, but these two months try her patience like waiting for her to get ready does mine. She'd just assume it be January, when football is over and baseball is three months away.

But it's July, and these two months are my favorite. And as long as I'm her favorite, she can hate it all she wants.

That's cool, but I'm just a teenager and I don't know much about marriage. However, I love fantasy sports. I know what it is like to spend time organizing my teams.

I don'tunderstand how you can say this is the best time of year. In the sports world, at least in the United States, these are deadest months of the year. The only league that is going now is baseball. Football and college football are still 8 weeks away. The NHL and NBA are on hiatus. This is the time you get to know your wife and kids.

But that's why it's the best time of year! We don't have to deal with the NBA and NFL highlites on ESPN. We can focus all our attention on the sport that matters most. And, like he said, it's time to start thinking about football.

DNL - The Super Bowl is played in Feb. What are you talking about Feb. being dead? Also, besides college b-ball, you also have the NBA and NHL going, and signing day for college football recruits. Feb. is far from being a dead month.

February is definately the worst. When you get excited on truck day (when the news shows a clip of tractor trailor trucks filled with Sox gear leaving Fenway to head down to Fort Myers) then you know you're bored.

I agree I hate this time of year. I can only watch so many baseball highlights before the blur together. Im spending all my time prepping for my Fantasy Football drafts.

Christof... I'm talking about the fantasy world. I don't play fantasy NBA or NHL, and fantasy college FB hasn't caught on yet. I agree that the winter is the best time for sports, but this is primetime for fantasy. For the record, I don't have any kids that I know about...

I love poetry, and a glass of scotch, and, of course, fantasy baseball.

So, you're like a Sean Connery who loves fantasy baseball?

i guess that anchorman quote gets lost when taking out 'baxter' from the equation.

Oh man, I didn't catch it in between watching David Wright crush the ball out of PNC... Don't worry, though, I'll write it down in my diary. "Patrickburke had a very funny joke today." I'll laugh at it later tonight.

It wasn't a dis or anything, it was just another obscure Anchorman reference -- you know, from that scene after Ron stole Veronica's news... "Get out. Just go. We are through. Through. Because of your actions, you scorpion woman."

I hate July and August, because my fantasy teams somehow always wind up towards the bottom.

This is the time of year when I stock my freezer for the tailgate season, clean up the grill and rotiserie, and get my Kegerator all tuned up for the sundays to come.

Ok, really....why am I the only one that has his comments post twice when replying to someone! It's only a matter of time before people start thinking I'm dumber than they already think I am.

My girlfriend says that there are two of me. Baseball Brian and Offseason Brian. Our relationship was kinda like Fever Pitch. She met me in the offseason and had no idea what she was getting into until April rolled around.

Since I imagine you all play in fantasy leagues, why not all play in another, seperate fantasy League, together. That way, we could have an ArmchairGM Fantasy Baseball Champion, or something like that.
