Fantasy soccer: Do-over!

My MLS soccer fantasy season got off to a rough start—through no fault of my own.
Now, usually when I say something like this, my problems are entirely my own fault, and I am using the catharsis of blame-mongering to ease the fact that I did a horrible job drafting my fantasy roster. But this [...]

Kevan Lee’s soccer fantasy? Not finishing last

When did my fantasy sports hobby become an unhealthy fascination? Yesterday, when I signed up for fantasy soccer.
I’m still not sure why I did it, although boredom, curiosity, and self-loathing are popular theories. As a veteran of fantasy football (you can read of my exploits here, here, here, and here), I have a [...]

Fantasy Basketball: BGs!

Going to the dark side has been a lot easier than I thought. With my decision to cheat my way to the top of my fantasy basketball league, I figured I would be wracked with sleepless nights and flooded with feelings of guilt and remorse.
I’m not.
In fact, ever since I crossed the [...]

B-lieve it! Kevan Lee wins fantasy

Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat. And although it took 15 weeks for this truth to sort itself out, the fantasy football gods finally got it right.
Kevan Lee: champion! B Squared: Loser.
The final score was 194-116, a glorious, wonderful, predestined 194 to a spiteful, evil, unbecoming 116. [...]

Bring on B Squared

The fantasy matchup to end all fantasy matchups almost didn’t happen.
For the whole year, the two best teams in my league have been B Squared and myself. Regular readers of this website as well as anyone who has seen my most recent temporary tattoo know that the Squares and I are mortal enemies. [...]

Fantasy Playoff Push

Appropriately, on the same day that my New England Patriots wrapped up a playoff spot, I earned myself a trip to the postseason as well.  Granted, my trip to the playoffs is fantasy football and it means nothing to everyone except me and my wife.  And my wife only cares because it dominates conversation at [...]

Fantasy Report: Wanna Trade?

A trade deadline?!?! That would have been nice to know about before I hinged my entire season on changes I needed to make over the final few weeks.

Life After Ronnie Brown

Having lost my best player, my six-game winning streak, and my faith in fantasy football, I prepared for the worst this week. 

Prepared might be the wrong word.  Assuming all hope was lost (it was), I didn’t really put in my usual work into my roster.  I browsed the waiver wire, finding nothing.  I thought [...]

The Mourning After

My fantasy life, as I know it, is over.

No, I am not referring to the fantasy life in which I am king of my own island, live in a house made of Tillamook cheese, and own a dog that speaks English, Spanish, and Japanese.  Thankfully, that one still lives on.

The premature end of my fantasy [...]

Fantasy Lemons

Cleo Lemon is not my friend.
Obviously, he is not my friend because he is a professional football player, and I take multiple naps every day.  We are nothing alike and probably have nothing in common, unless Lemon also happens to loooooove Christian rock.  But I highly doubt that.
Despite our differences, it is not like I [...]
