John Crists hysterical take on fantasy football will have you in stitches. The funnyman gives his opinion on the popular pastime that starts up every year, coinciding with the start of the NFL season. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear John explain fantasy football and how its more than a little odd.
Everyone loves football, right? Thats a generally accepted fact, and personally, I cannot see why anyone would not enjoy the game. Whether its the NFL, college, high school or even pee-wee, football is one of, if not the greatest, sports, and many seemingly cannot get enough of it.
Football has become such an obsession for many people that they have even gotten into fantasy football. If youre unfamiliar with fantasy football, a group of friends gets together and forms what they call a league. In these leagues, each person has their team, which is formed by selecting players in the NFL. Then, once those teams are formed, they compete against one another, where a win or a loss is determined by how well those players perform in their actual games on Sunday.
It might sound confusing, but its not. It also might sound a little strange, and one could argue that it is, which John does in a clip posted on YouTube.
We play fantasy football, thats crazy, he said. First of all, watching football is a fantasy. OK, we cant do it. We watch other guys do it. Fantasy football is a fantasy of the fantasy, cause that team wasnt doing very good, so we created a new fantasy.
After taking a shot at Dallas Cowboys fans, John pointed out how one television network even aired a mock fantasy football draft.
Like, fellas, how far from reality can we get? he asked. Hes, like, I just picked up Aaron Rodgers! Im, like, Pick up your daughter from school, dude!
