Ok so in addition to painting toy soldiers I am a huge fantasy football fanatic.
I am in 10+ leagues and I absolutely love building dynasty teams and wheeling and dealing throughout the offseason.
So recently there has been a bunch of hub bub about the patriots as there always is. But for those of you who are uninitiated to the nerddom that is fantasy football the patriots are one of the greatest dynasty of all time.
They have been in the majority of the super bowls in the last 10 years. It seems though there dynasty is coming to a close at least for a little while. The star QB of the patriots Tom Brady is getting into his 40s and their star tight end Rob Gronkowski is contemplating retirement due to multiple injuries over his career.
When it comes to fantasy football tight end is one of the crappiest positions you have to fill. There are maybe 5 starters that can every week make a difference on your team, and when healthy Gronk is without a doubt the best tight end in the game.
So as he contemplates retirement he sits on a few of my strongest teams and I struggle to decide whether I attempt to trade him to another team for something (his value is low because of his retirement rumors).
Ok so there is my predicament roll with the top TE in the game who may retire or make a move to trade him amongst these rumors.
One night recently right before bed I was mulling trade options and eventually gave up and went to bed.
I had a dream that took me all the way back to high school. Where I began in the classroom of some standard course of which i can't recall. I ran into the high school jock/quarterback.
He was a nice enough guy I didn't have any problem with him back in the day. But this day i came to the conclusion that he was the patriots quarterback. He wasn't so much Tom Brady as our high school quarterback happened to be the quarterback of the patriots.
I said whats up then said "Hey man, I hate to bother you with this, but whats goin on with Gronk?"
He responded. "Falconer, don't you worry about a thing it is all just the normal smoke screen you are good to go. We are good to go."
So I sat in my desk feeling better about my situation. I turn to look at who is sitting on the other side of me. And it is bill Belichick with his feet up on the desk a chewing on a cigar he smiles and nods.
I throw this dream out to the fantasy universe not to call my shot more to say hey this happened lets see how it plays out.
As always have a great one! Also I am not a patriots fan.
