Fantasy Sports: More Local Columnist Perspective

READ MORE: Fantasy Football, Fantasy Sports, Fantasy Sports Columnists

One of the best parts about fantasy sports season is when we get the local, rube-ish perspective outside of the usual so-called experts. Yes, in addition to the Brandon Funstons and Eric Karabells there also fellas like Mike Murphy of the Marion Daily Republican in Marion, Illinois. Good Ol’ Murph gives us the everyman perspective about what it’s like to be a fantasy dweeb. And he has the best picture out of any fantasy dork-a-sauras out there. Look at the face? You know he owns at least twelve pieces of clothing with “Murph” monograms. And our buddy Murph gives us the lowdown on his fantasy prep work:

I had bought two Fantasy Football Magazines several months before and usually spend at least a few minutes each night before bed reading about certain players and teams. The magazines cost about $8 each but are worth their weight in gold to a serious fantasy player. The Internet is also a valuable tool. So much so in fact, that you can subscribe to various Web sites that will update player injuries and indicate who might be ahead of who in the battle for starting spots on certain teams.

Yep, unfortunately Murph has also just entered the 90’s. We love him anyway.
