Sometimes factual stories in the real world are better than the ones Marco makes up during sleepless nights of child-rearing. This one is hot of the presses from this weekend's action in the real world.
Can't a Dude Get an MRI in Peace?
A hospital security guard — who is also a fantasy football owner chastised Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Braylon Edwards for not playing in last Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions because of a swollen knee.
Edwards was at the hospital Monday to get an MRI, but apparently the security guard was more concerned about Edwards screwing up his fantasy team.
Check out Edwards’ tweets:
Fantasy football participants are "owners" and "managers" of teams that play in competitive leagues. They gain “fantasy points” based on the statistics of real NFL players like Edwards.
Notice that the operative word is “fantasy” football.
Obviously the hospital security guard has a problem separating fantasy from reality.
THE END
More than separating fantasy from reality, this security guard needs to separate 2012 from 2007. What is this guy in - a 32 team league with no running backs? Edwards should be flattered that he is still on anyone's fantasy team and offered to buy the kind manager/owner dinner for keeping the faith.
Vinny and Marco
