Was Reggie Bush underrated in Madden 07? He certainly thinks so.

At first blush, Missile, you might think like that, but after you've gotten experienced with fantasy football you realize that it can help you get over a loss. For instance, every year that I play I have players on my team that go up against the saints. I in no way root for those players to do well against the Saints outside of the Saints' victory. If they do well and the Saints win, then I am elated. If the Saints lose, I feel like at least I benefited in some way and that helps the hurt of the loss.

I am very sure that its not a question of loyalty when it comes to playing Fantasy Football. I remember at times, when I kick myself for not drafting Drew Brees last season. However, its given me an extra incentive to catch the other games. Living out here in Cali, I am not fortunate enough to catch Saints games and I end up having to catch either the 49ers, Chargers, and even worse Raider games. What it all comes down to is that we all love the game of football and even more when our Black and Gold is winning. Heck, even our own players admit to playing in Fantasy leagues.

MY wife finally gets it, and I'll say the same thing I use to tell her when she says... "football is a game"

"No... its not".

Fair enough
and I agree with that statement but we are talking about a video game of football not the real deal
