Hi there. Thought before I jump into any tough trash talk, I should introduce myself a little.

My name is Colleen and I’m a Fantasy Sports Addict. My husband used to be part of a fantasy football league with some co-workers and I thought it was stupid. Especially considering how much money he kept losing each season. He offered to have me join and being the frugal freak that I am, I backed away like he was holding a dead skunk. No WAY was I going to lose TWICE the money we already were.

Then came last season where some gals I knew through Twitter and Plurk were talking about a Twitter/Plurk league, but no one wanted to be the commissioner. After I made the disclaimer about my cheapness, we agreed on a flat $10 to go to the winner, and I agreed to head up the league. We even had one token guy join the league, and in the end, DDS’ own ClumberKim won. I had fun the entire season (except when I saw that GoonSquad Sarah “stole” my Bears for her team’s defense) and soon found myself joining a bunch of strangers on a fantasy hockey league. And even though I loathe baseball and know nothing about it except that the Cubs suck, I joined a fantasy baseball league.

And presently? I’m in three football leagues. And I’m starting a DDS hockey league. Please join. Please be my enabler. Be my supplier. Plus, as I see it, it’s an easy way for me to satisfy that competitive craving while still feeding the statistical dork in me. Oh, and it helps give me stuff to write about here since most of my sports trash talk consists of me laughing at the Redskins.
