Fantasy Football... now?!?


Here's the first in what is sure to be many updates on what's happening to me in the world on that great American Pastime, fantasy football. (I have sometimes wondered... is it uniquely American? The fantasy sports phenomenon, as I'm familiar with it, first became popular with baseball in the early 1980s, until football for some reason surpassed it in popularity (perhaps because football surpassed baseball in popularity generally?). Now it branches out to include fantasy basketball, and I believe even fantasy NASCAR. But do people in other countries participate in, for instance, fantasy football [soccer to you and me] leagues? Do they have fantasy cricket leagues in India and fantasy ping-pong leagues in China?) (And is that really the correct spelling of pastime? Surely it's not pasttime, but oughtn't it to be? Was it once past-time?)

Well, my parenthetical was so long, I haven't made my point and I'm going to miss my train....
