Clear eyes, full heart, CAN’T LOSE.
College football is already upon us and the NFL season is just a few short days away, which means most of us are fully tuned into the list of potential sleepers to draft for Fantasy Football.
Our Whiskey Riff draft is next week and I’ve got my eyes on a few guys that I think will give me that edge to take top prize for this first time. Of course, I can’t let you in on any of those secrets here for fear that my co-workers will swoop in and steal them…
In my research, I came across this video of a dad hyping up his wife for their draft and I have to say, this guy needs to get in a locker room ASAP. The cadence, the phrasing, heck the wisdom that dripped from every word got my heart pumping and hair raising so much that I was ready to strap on a helmet and relive the high school glory days.
Take a look at some of these lines:
“If you feel strong about somebody, take em. If you’re looking at your cheat sheet there and you’re like “I like this guy down here better than this guy”, take em! That’s just a guideline, the cheat sheet, it’s a guideline. You gotta go with your instincts.
You can’t win your league on draft day, but you can lose it… This is the foundation for the season… You’re gonna pick three or four guys that are gonna be absolute duds. Recognize that before they hurt you. There’s gonna be breakout guys every year that you gotta have on your roster that no one’s gonna draft. You gotta figure out who those guys are…
Go with your gut, go with your instincts!”
Truthfully it seems like I draft a team full of duds every year but not this time around because I’m trusting my instinct and listening to the gems this man gave us.
At the end, his daughter asks the mom if she’s ready and then tells them to ask him and he gives an answer that all of us football fans feel deep down in our souls:
“I was ready in March!”
Football is so back baby, let’s have a year!
