Fantasy land

OK, OK. Just this once. Just this once will the Blob, a resolute No Fantasy Football Posts Ever zone, comment on ... fantasy football.

That's because Richard Sherman said something about it yesterday, and he was dead-on, four-square right.

Yes, Richard, fantasy football does dehumanize NFL players. It does turn them into inanimate game pieces to be moved around the board at will by "fans" who never stop to think these are flesh-and-blood human beings with real lives and real families and people who love them.

"(We) don't care about your fantasy team," Sherman said.

Nor should they. For all the reasons stated above.

Of course ...

Of course,  that still does not stop me from being mad at Deshaun Watson for accounting for five touchdowns in a week when I decided not to play him.

Dammit, Deshaun! How could you?
