Comments on: The Trouble With Truth: A Dramatic Presentation by the Pittsburgh Steelers https://goingdeepsteelers.org/2017/10/12/the-trouble-with-truth/ An Introspective Steelers Site Fri, 13 Oct 2017 17:12:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mtsnot https://goingdeepsteelers.org/2017/10/12/the-trouble-with-truth/#comment-5824 Fri, 13 Oct 2017 17:12:22 +0000 http://goingdeepsteelers.org/?p=20976#comment-5824 I have been playing fantasy football since 2001. I have made it a personal rule that anytime one of my players are playing against the Steelers, I bench them. I don’t want anything to cause me to root against the Steelers. The only time ignore this is if the other team’s kicker is on my team. Get to root for field goals instead of TD’s. always a good thing.

Unfortunately, there will always be people who are at the extremes of things, fantasy football included. They get so sucked into it they take it as a personal affront when a player on their team performs poorly.

20 teams? I’m impressed. How do you have time to do anything else?

What it would seem that many see or prefer are action figures that serve, particularly in the case of FF as avatars for our competitive and gambling fantasies. At least that might explain why some underreact to their health risks and overreact to their kneeling. To see them as fully human would be rather inconvenient.

Ben’s fantasy day was pretty terrible. As a connoisseur of fantasy football, I like a QB and WRs who are playing from behind (high pass volume), unless said QB throws picks. As a Steelers fan, however, fantasy wins pale in comparison to Steelers wins (5 leagues? Ha. Rank amateur. I’m in 20.).
