Football is where two groups of men fight each other to force an 11" leather object into each other's end zone; fantasy football is for people who like to fantasize about it.
Tim: Hey, mate. Do you want to play football this season?
Phil: Nah, bro, I'm going to play fantasy football instead. I still haven't recovered from the pounding I took last season.
A game for grown men that makes them regress back to childhood wherein they will turn on their best friends, argue to the death about anything, and become lifeless shells of their former selves.
Rick: You hear Tim got divorced, lost his house, and got committed?
A game that will drive you completely insane.
Turned me into a Cleveland Brown's fan.
Made me cheer for kickers.
Makes me spend 9 hours on NFL.com's Gamecast every Sunday

"Man I really want the Colts win today but I hope Peyton throws like 4 interceptions."
"Alright, so Torry Holt just caught a 60-yard touchdown, there's 10 points, but I have to deduct 4 from that because he scored against my defense and then deduct one more point because the guy I'm playing has Jeff Wilkins."
"Screw Fantasy Football, I'm not playing next year."
