Game Over?

[Creepin'Camel-Toe 0]

So does your wife only get her hair done, shop or whatever she does for 17 weeks of the year? Of course the wife gets the money you make but you guys act like you are a slave to a spouses wishes. When I win money, there's noone else I'd rather spend my money on than her but I'm not going to have it written up in a focking contract dictating to me what I can and can't do. My wife already knows that she would be taken care of and she wouldn't care in the slightest what I did with the rest as long as we didn't have any pressing needs or financial worries.

 

No its about life.

 

Let's see. I work hard all week and I want a weekend day to myself. There is yard/house work to be done one of those days.

 

She works all week and wants to do things on the weekends. She also has things to do one of those days.

 

These things are more work not enjoyable things. Got it so far?

 

So in order to get what I want I have to give up something in return or the other CHOICE!

 

Get a divorce, pay half my money in alimony, live alone and wack off every night just so I can play a game for 1 day, 4 months a year.

 

I don't care about the rest of you but I can go to my grave happy by compromising. NOT the second option. A woman who follows you around worshiping the ground you walk on doesn't work for me. I need someone with a brain.

 

If the second option works for you then GREAT! Hope there were no kids involved.

Listen man, I'm just bustin your brass ones. To each their own. It sounds like this works for you and that's great. I don't have kids yet so it's hard for me to speak on that subject but maybe you wouldn't feel guilty about your 7 hours in front of the TV if you incorporated your family into the viewing process a little bit. How about taking a couple of hours of that Sunday and play a board game with the kids/wife or even video games while you are watching football. That's a win win right there. Just a tip, and maybe you wouldn't need contractial agreements for 17 weeks of a year.

 

Part of the contract is that I do take one of the kids. My baby boy has on his #12 Staubach Jersey, my daughter has her barbies in the basement laid out all over the floor. I try incorporating my wife into watching it with me but she just does not like football.

 

One thing you need to understand is that the contract was brought to her in fun. Yes, she signed it and we will probabely obide by it, but it is all in fun. As soon as she signed the contract she called her friends laughing saying "You would not believe what my husband just had me sign."

 

This contract just makes light of how useless I am on Sundays, and how much I appreciate her putting up with it. If I did not have the contract, it's not like I could never watch football again.

In the last 3 weeks I have gotten married, gone on my honeymoon, and moved half way across the country (to support the wife going to law school).

 

All the while my FF preparation has suffered. Additionally, my plans to fly from South Bend to the DC area for my draft have been thwarted by my wife who ridiculously thinks that I should save the $$$ of a plane ticket and stay with her for the weekend.

 

No, Im not a completely whooped beeotch. Just an avg. man trying to make a fresh marriage work and acheive balance in my life.

 

I have been relatively successful over my 8 years of playing FF and Im confident that will continue and even improve. However, in less than 3 weeks I can already see how marriage has severely cut into my may addiction to FF.

 

My question to anyone who cares is how has marriage affected your FF, if at all? Especially in terms of time, preparation, and enjoyment.

 

Lets reset the converstation.

 

Sacless: Hey baby. It's sorta weird moving to a new city to support my college wife. But I do love you, this is great!

 

B!tch: Yeah I love having a man with no balls. During sex I love feeling a soft mushy sac against me.

 

Sacless: Anyway. Once a year me and my boys do a little draft thing. It just lasts the weekend.

 

B!tch: Huh? I don't want to be left alone, thats why I got a sugar daddy!

 

Sacless: But I moved to where you live. You have friends, classmates, you know the city, you have school, you have a support network, but you can't survive a day without me?

 

B!tch: Listen fucnut. You're not spending $500 to have a circle jerk with your friends.

 

Sacless: Good point.

Don't insinuate that just because the rest of us don't write up contracts that we must be a bunch of dictators and we pull our wives around by the hair. I bust my ass all week at my job, cooking, cleaning, and doing house maintenance for six straight days in order to have my day of rest. The only difference between what my wife does and what I do for relaxing time/fun is that my time is lumped into a solitary day and her's is broken up into and hour or two various days of the week.

Yes you are you just haven't realized it yet. I can tell who wears the pants in this relationship.

 

If you have the money and it's something you like to do DO IT! Be a man instead of a whiny beotch for once in your life

 

 

I'm going to guess either your not married, or you are and its not goin so well...

That's cool and I can totally respect that. You kinda made it seem like you had some big issues in the past (arguments?) that maybe forced your hand a bit with the whole contract thing. Good luck. Maybe you could write into the contract some mandatory halftime tomfoolery in the bedroom.

Believe me, I have had some arguements in the past. Nothing big, just a "Get off your ass and do something productive today" kind of arguement. That's a pretty one sided arguement isn't it?

[OMarcFL 0]

I Bust my ass all year long working. My wife never learned to drive so Im also a full time shofer. The one and only thing that I ask from my wife is... During football season, Sundays are Off limits for Everything! Excpet someone dies. Other than that. Get a bus pass.

Point Taken.

 

It just pisses me off when "real men - (as if)" say to take the situation in hand and strong arm your "######" into giving you whatever you want.

 

Meanwhile most are doing the same thing we are. I at least am being honest about it. I don't have a contract, I have an understanding with my wife.

 

I personally need to have an understand. It would be easier to quit smoking then to stop watching football on Sundays. I've tried to quit both numerous times.

 

I feel bad for people who say these things to others on these boards. Sounds to me like they are not just playing Fantasy Football, they are playing Fantasy Life as well...

 

JMHO...I'm still entitled to it right? Bush didn't take that away while I wasn't paying attention?

No I consider him the exception to the rule.

Thank you, too kind. I'd like to thank my parents, my wife, and the good Lord above, without whom none of this would be possible.

 

Seriously though, I never thought this post would get 3 pages of responses but I guess it is pretty relevant to a lot of us on here.

 

I started this thread basically b/c I just got married and I wanted to vent about how I took 2-3 weeks off of prepping for this FF season and I will be drafting by phone rather than in person like I wanted to. Its pretty funny to me how some of you think that I am really trying to seek marital advice on a FF website but its all entertaining and appreciated.

 

From the moment we started dating my wife has known and accepted my FF and overall sports addiction.

There are a lot of truly whipped men out there but Im not one of them and for those that think I am its all good anyway.

 

Just let me say this to those who have gone on and on about being a man and doing what you want when you want to, etc, etc. You probably fall into one of these categories.

 

1. You are too young or too ignorant to really know what you are talking about.

 

2. You are content with chasing skirts your whole life and will never know the value of truly loving a woman and sharing your life with her.

 

3. You are married and your wife is a fat nasty slob who's self confidence is so low that she lets you do whatever you want.

 

4. You are married and your wife doesnt give a damn what you do b/c someone else is laying the pipe far better than you ever have or will.

 

5. You are gay.

 

Like someone else said its about life. You cant always just think about yourself. When you get married there is another person you have to consider and when you are blessed with children then you REALLY have to sacrifice some of your own selfish interests.

 

Its not about my wife. As I have said before she is understanding of my sports addictions and she is actually a fairly knowledgeable sports fan as well.

 

Its about being a man, growing up, and making responsible decisions. I really wanted to buy a plane ticket, draft in person, and spend a weekend cuttin up with the fellas. I hate drafting via telephone but I had to do it last year to and I had a pretty damn good season winning my money back X 4.

 

But after consulting with the wife and really think about it, I decided that it was best to save the money, get our new house together, and spend time with the her after a stressful 1st week of law school. If that make me whipped in your eyes then I guess I'll be that.

 

And to the guy that said he just got a divorce, I guess that would be the ultimate test of this experiment. Let us know how the season goes. Sorry bout the divorce and congrats on your new life as a single man again.

 

Peace be with you all.

[Creepin'Camel-Toe 0]

You seem like a well balance individual.

 

I have no doubt your married life will be successful.

 

As for #5 - You're gay. I think that's impossible. Gay men avoid violence/######-slapping

[PhoenixColts 0]

 

Actually I give her all of my FF winnings. I don't do this for the money anyway.

 

Let me show you how your life will go if learn early from my mistakes..

 

I started FF after I met my wife 10/11 seasons ago. (Can't remember. I only remember we used Terry Bradshaw's FF program.) We'd been together for 5 years at the time.

 

She started bitching immediately.

 

By year 4 she was out of control. I also played alot of Counter-Strike/DOD. Always at night after she went to bed. She said I was married to the Computer...

 

We got married. We bought a house. Now she's REALLY out of control complaining.

 

I posted above saying I'm getting divorced. I was reading your post to my brother, and he said, "Did you write that?" Sounds EXACTLY like my soon-to-be-ex wife. I read how you said she started bitching immediately, then you had to play computer games after she went to bed, then she said you're married to the computer, and how she's REALLY out of control after getting married and buying a house. 100% accurate to my situation. Luckily, we don't have any kids, so the decision was easy for me. No P is worth all that to me. I don't want anyone to think I'm giving advice to get divorced, but just wanted to say how your post made me sick to my stomach, and just confirmed that I'm doing the right thing. Who would want that?

Good attempt at being funny.

 

Better attempt at being a duumbazz.

 

1. My wife knows all about my FF drafts.

 

2. We moved together. She has never lived a day of her life in South Bend. Has no friends here, doesnt know the city, etc.

 

3. "Sugar Daddy" Thats too funny. My wifes' family makes GOOD money, Notre Dame Law school is giving her $20,000 a year towards her tuition, her savings account was about 5x mine when we got married, and she'll be an attorney in 3 years, probably making significantly more $$$ than me.

 

Carry on.

[ElvisMcCoy 0]

Ok here is my situation.

I work a stressful, albeit non-physical 30 - 60 hour a week job(depending on good weeks vs bad week) and I am on call as a system engineer 24/7 for a wireless provider.

 

I spend as much time as I can with my wife of 3 years and 2 year old boy.

 

BUT when I want to relax and burn off some stress I do one of several activities including FF and honestly my wife can kiss my arse if she doesn't like them. If I do not do at least one or a combonation of a few of them a few times a week our personal life goes sraight to hell because I am not pleasant to be around.

 

I do not use these things as an excuse to get to do what I want, but she knows if I do not do something to relax I turn into an arsehole and she wouldn't want to be around me anyway.

 

Given the choice she'd rather be around the FF me rather than the arsehole me.

 

HTH

Look man. I don't know what you're embellishing and I don't really care.

 

If she's got 5x more money than you never having worked a day in her life, money isn't an issue in this equation.

 

If you guys were scraping by, she would have a very legitimate gripe.

 

Now that you've proven how profoundly rich you are, you do come out as an extreme poosay in this situation.

 

If you can't go away for 2 days once a year for your annual draft, it's only going to get much, much worse for you in the future of this marriage.

If money isn't an issue, I seriously don't know what is.

Especially, because you moved away from your friends to support her.

 

Sorry. You're whipped good.

You are an idiot making stupid assumptions.

 

1. Im not embelleshing anything just stating facts.

 

2. Who said she never worked a day in her life? She graduated college, worked full time for 2 years, and is now going to law school.

 

3. Her father set up her savings account, which yes was about 5x what I had in my savings.

 

4. We're not rich by any means. Just 2 young people who have been blessed with parents who make decent $$ and some good opportunties. Doesnt mean that we dont need to save are own $$$ and make good financial decisions.

 

5. Please explain how any of this translates to me being whipped.

What did I assume that makes me an idiot?

 

She is very, very well off for a law student. That's what you were once bragging about and now are trying to back off on. I didn't assume; you bragged to us.

 

When I read your initial problem, I was all with you. I know many people right now struggling through law school and working 2 jobs on the side. It's tough and it's hard to justify trips in that case. She (and I guess, you) is (are) very well off. Money is not the issue here as it would normally be. She has 5x your money saved in two years (Why would you quit that job?), $20,000 Notre Dame is giving her, you both have rich parents, etc.

 

What is it then? That she will be lonely the two days you are gone . Give me a freakin' break. What if your job someday makes you travel? What are you going to do then? Quit your job?

 

This is a once a year thing. You're young and without kids only once in your life.

I'll let other people tell you what you are, but let me tell you that it's only going to get worse. This is the best it'll ever be for you and you can't even draft your team with your buddies once a year.

[nzoner 937]

Two years ago, I finished our basement and built an entertainment wall with a 50 inch plasma in the middle and 5 27 inch TVs build in surrounding the plasma. I have the Sunday ticket, so it is a Fantasy players dream come true.

 

You've got that right,I had my built 7 years ago,it's a large cabinet with a 60" in the middle and three 27" on either side.This will actually be my first full season enjoying it as I decided not to renew my Chiefs tickets this year and I'm looking forward to it.

 

Not to sound ungrateful for what I have but I have to ask do you ever feel the same way I do on some Sundays when you really could use another tv or two because you want to watch all your players?

[FantasyChick 0]

Then there is me and my husbands story. He is an avid Bears fan and likes to watch the whole game without flipping channels. I love to follow my FF teams so I like to flip around the games since we have the Direct TV's NFL Sunday Ticket and catch glimpses of them all to keep tabs on our players. The solution for us...........subscribe to the Game Mix and Red Zone Channel! We have a 103" projection screen and a projector as our display device so the smaller tv's all around are not an option since the screen takes up most of the wall. Sounds like an amazing set up though.

 

We share 2 teams in two different leagues rather than compete against each other. It causes its share of arguements on Sunday when it comes to who to start.

 

We recently remodeled our entire basement so we could watch Sunday football and be near our kids while they play in their playroom. Our kids are too young still to be much of an issue on Sundays and nap during the first set of games and play in their playroom for hours after they wake up.

[yostevo 0]

I have the solution to all of your woes: http://www.fantasyfashionleague.com

 

Yes, it's a fantasy fashion league assumingly for women and bent wrists.

 

Your woman will be camped out in front of the TV obsessing about the E channel and the low down on the latest designers and celebrities for hours. Just like us with FF!!

 

No more complaining, because you'll have the trump card.

 

My wife just pointed this out to me and I hope it brings serenity to your households.

I'll let other people tell you what you are, but let me tell you that it's only going to get worse. This is the best it'll ever be for you and you can't even draft your team with your buddies once a year.

 

You made several stupid assumptions.

 

1. That we are "profoundly rich." I said that she had 5x more in savings than I did. I could have $10 and she had $50. Doesnt make us rich. Additionally, the $$$ she gets from ND covers abot 2/3 of her tuition and fees. Yes, she is fortunate but $$ towards school doesnt make us rich either.

 

2. That she never worked a day in her life. Already explained that she worked full time for over 2 years.

 

3. That not going to my draft was simply about $$. I said that I decided it was a better decision to draft by phone, save money on the airfare, spend time geting our house together, and yes be with my wife after her 1st week of law school and just 3 weeks into our marriage.

 

So yes you are an idiot making stupid assumptions.

 

Im not bragging about being rich b/c (1) we are NOT rich and (2) I was just responding to the other idiot who said I was her "sugar daddy" by stating the facts that she is bringing as much if not more to the table financially.

 

She is in a relatively good situation for a law student but that does not equate to us being anywhere near rich at the current time. Nothing I said eludes to such.

 

As for any traveling that I may do later on for work, future drafts, etc. I will be just fine. We JUST got married, JUST moved into our first house, JUST moved across the country where neither one of us knows anybody or anything. So, yeah Im gonna stay home w. my wife and draft over the phone.

 

And your wrong, its not gonna get worst. God willing my marriage and life are only gonna get better. Hope you can say the same. Just stop making mindless assumptions and you might be ok.

I could never share a team with my mrs,however,having seperate teams works out well because on the weeks we play each other we can make side bets,the kind where no one really loses.

[donhaas 18]

look, Terp..

 

You brought up this whole problem on an FF board.

You brought up how rich you and your wife are and both sets of your parents. (Which you are now backtracking on. )

 

An extremely quick look says a flight from Chicago to DC on the next weekend will be $150 roundtrip. Would definitely be cheaper if you wouldn't have waited til the last second but still very cheap. Not the $500 you were about.

 

 

3. That not going to my draft was simply about $$. I said that I decided it was a better decision to draft by phone, save money on the airfare, spend time geting our house together, and yes be with my wife after her 1st week of law school and just 3 weeks into our marriage.

 

Not about $$$$ ?? and then your first excuse is saving money on airfare ?? . You're not bright.

 

You can get your house together and be with your wife during her first week of law school. You're going to be gone two freaking days for a draft; not being shipped out to Iraq.

 

I tried to be nice, but you're simply a drama queen.

 

150 bucks. 2 days. You have no kids.

 

You're focking whipped.

 

Don't go to an FF message board with your drama, and then come when you get the truth.

I tried to be nice, but you're simply a drama queen.

 

150 bucks. 2 days. You have no kids.

 

You're focking whipped.

 

Don't go to an FF message board with your drama, and then come when you get the truth.

HTH!!

 

Well, Im about done with this but I cant resist just 1 more post.

 

Your the one who is not bright. I said it wasnt "simply" about $$$. Not that it wasnt a factor at all.

 

I live 1 1/2 hours from Chicago. I was looking to fly directly out of South Bend. Last week, a flight was about $250. The $500 was taken into account other spending factors on the trip.

 

I started the thread not looking for advice but simply something for the bored to discuss about which it has obviously been.

 

I havent backtracked one bit and Im not crying about anything but if it makes you feel good to say so, go ahead.

Alright. Good for you.

 

I don't know the point of all this then.

 

The only thing close to a real reason why you aren't going (besides you being whipped ) is that you need to put together your house.

 

But if you would have been spending your time picking out curtains and doiles the last few days instead of obsessively responding in detail to everyone who disagrees with you on this topic, she might have actually granted you permission to be gone for two days to do your once-a-year FF draft...

 

It's all about priorities

I posted above saying I'm getting divorced. I was reading your post to my brother, and he said, "Did you write that?" Sounds EXACTLY like my soon-to-be-ex wife. I read how you said she started bitching immediately, then you had to play computer games after she went to bed, then she said you're married to the computer, and how she's REALLY out of control after getting married and buying a house. 100% accurate to my situation. Luckily, we don't have any kids, so the decision was easy for me. No P is worth all that to me. I don't want anyone to think I'm giving advice to get divorced, but just wanted to say how your post made me sick to my stomach, and just confirmed that I'm doing the right thing. Who would want that?

 

Sorry to hear that. Like I said I doubt my wife's and my story is unique.

 

Good luck in single life! Hope you get happy!

 

Everythingis fine for us...For now.... and I can live with that.

I usually go out on the boat diving all day on Sunday. During football season I get home from the boat around 1PM to watch football and cheer on my ff team. She does not complain about ff because at least I am home early on Sundays during football season.

I am in a dynasty keeper league, we go all year round.. My wife deals with it considering I am on the puter at least 1 hr everyday at some point to catch up on the latest news.. I f you snooze ya loose. On sundays I have a routine. At 0900 EST Me and my Daughter go out for breakfast till' 1100 -1130 gives the wife some alone time since she will be w/ the kid all day. Around 1200 I turn on espn/fox for all the pregame sh!t, check out my lineups etc. at this point i still help out a little b/c it gets them out of the house faster if i help. In the wifes eyes it looks like i am taking time away from FF to help, so its a good thing. She knows not to call/bother me after 1pm unless its an emergency...and she wont be home till' 6-7 pm.. So i cant complain my wifey knows the deal w/ FF. She knows it cost time/money to make money. I am having the live draft at my crib this year so she is not to happy about that considering we just moved in to our home in March/06.. but she is dealing with it....LOL

In the last 3 weeks I have gotten married, gone on my honeymoon, and moved half way across the country (to support the wife going to law school).

 

All the while my FF preparation has suffered. Additionally, my plans to fly from South Bend to the DC area for my draft have been thwarted by my wife who ridiculously thinks that I should save the $$$ of a plane ticket and stay with her for the weekend.

 

No, Im not a completely whooped beeotch. Just an avg. man trying to make a fresh marriage work and acheive balance in my life.

 

I have been relatively successful over my 8 years of playing FF and Im confident that will continue and even improve. However, in less than 3 weeks I can already see how marriage has severely cut into my may addiction to FF.

 

My question to anyone who cares is how has marriage affected your FF, if at all? Especially in terms of time, preparation, and enjoyment.

The idea that you would let your wife interfere with your fantasy draft suggests that you are in fact "a completely whooped beeotch". The fact that you would marry a lawyer suggests that you have low self esteem.

Out of curiosity, why is that the case?

Out of curiosity, why is that the case?

Easy! Lawyers are generally recognized as rather low forms of life. Working from the bottom up, the following, in my mind, is a fair assessment of integrity:

4. Lawyers

3. Politicians (most of which are lawyers)

2. Child molesters

1. Murderers

I`m obviously not the only person that feels that way. In this survey, note where lawyers rank in the minds of most Americans when it comes to honesty and integrity.
