Off The Crossbar

A couple of years ago I made a decision that I thought I would stick with.  As with other life changes I found the change very difficult and didn’t go through with it.  I stuck, maybe struggled is the better term, around a couple of years and was hoping I made the right decision.  Looking back I wonder if I really should have kept with my original decision.  I used to wonder how it could be so hard for these superstar athletes to struggle with retirement but now I have a better idea of why they struggle.  When you are giving up something that has been part of your life for over 10 years you start to feel a void.  After numerous regular season championships and 2 overall season championships I have decided to walk away from the game of Fantasy Football.  Yes, I am officially walking away.  I have found that I can no longer commit myself to having the time to research players and match-ups like I used to.  I want to enjoy watching NFL games without worrying about how my players are doing.  I will no doubt have some withdrawls at times during the upcoming season but I will not give in.  I am certain this will be the best decision I can make.  Thank you to the people that have allowed me to beat them over the years, it’s been fun.
