Fantasy Football Honks Lose Job

The ring leader, the league’s commissioner, tried to throw a flag on the company saying it was a complete over-reaction on their part: “…one of my buddies sent me something about how bad Trent Edwards was playing or something like that. So they called me in and talked to me about 90 minutes on everything I ever knew about fantasy football.” Instead of the yellow flat, you should have thrown the “red flag” and asked for a review! Not that it mattered.
You probably weren’t fired for wasting company time and money, but rather for having Trent Edwards on your team at all. I haven’t heard anyone rolling him out since actor Vince Vaughn asked me if he should do it back in October.

Look, I know fantasy football is crack to most of you, but you can’t call up the fantasy site in the workplace any more than you can surf smut, bake, or drink in your cubicle. And how about having to tell the wife and kids: “we’re cancelling Christmas this year. I just got fired…for playing fantasy football! But it’s all good, as soon as I win $500 bucks for the league championship, we’ll be just fine. I’m going to the championship and the kids are still going to college”.
Submit your lineups, and I’ll see you on the message boards, chumps.
