24-year-old John: “You guys getting pumped for our draft?” I set aside my whole weekend to prepare for it.
28-year-old JR: Great, completely forgot about the draft and now I have to start while we’re at dinner and rush over there later.
John: Alright, fifty dollar buy-in, not bad.
JR: Our buy-in this season is more than my rent was in college.
John: While drafting, I’m going to go with my gut and it will most likely pay off.
JR: I’m going to pick based upon research and reason and it’ll 100 percent blow up in my face.
John: “Sure you can join if you’ve never played! I’m happy to walk you through how it all works.”
JR: “Sure you can join.” I’m happy to take all of your hard-earned money.
John: Always forget how long these take. Two hours in and we’re only on the 8th round!
JR: “Sorry I’m so late guys. Would have been here earlier if it weren’t for my Uber. God my driver made me so MAD…”
John: Need to grab a high touch RB in a run-first offense early on.
JR: “Reggie Bush is a solid player right?” I feel like he was good at one point.
John: “Anybody hear about this app FanDuel? It’s like printing money if you know your stuff!”
JR: Yeah, DFS are a rip-off.
John: I’m going to shake things up and draft a tight end earlier than I should!
JR: “What shaking? I’m not shaking, I’m just pumped that football is back! Hey, can I use your shower?”
John: I prefer to build my team off the waiver wire and scoop up any late bloomers throughout the season.
JR: I should pick this guy up because my coworker’s a Raiders fan and says he’ll be good *shrugs*.
John: I’m in three fantasy football leagues again this year. Love it.
JR: Got dragged into a bullshit work league AGAIN this year.
John: “Is there any more beer in the fridge? If not I can run out.”
JR: “Are those sirens getting louder?”
John: Let’s argue passionately about Yahoo versus ESPN for twenty-five minutes and get nowhere.
JR: Should we have that one random dude that nobody knew back this year? He contributed nothing.
John: “You know what would be fun? If we got our girlfriends to play in the league with us!”
JR: While asking the Capital R roommate to join would be a layup, I prefer my Sundays on the couch Han.
John: *tears up notebook* Back to the drawing board!
JR: *breaks bathroom window and leaps two stories*
John: By the end of the draft, nobody knows who any of these guys are!
JR: I don’t know who any of these guys are.
John: I can’t wait to go over my roster with the guys in the office tomorrow, in excruciating detail.
JR: I’m not going to let anyone at work know that I play fantasy. Fitting in isn’t all that important to me.
John: “Good luck this season everybody! Thanks in advance for all your money hahaha!”
JR: “HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!” *drives off in dead Uber driver’s car*.

Things I’ve Gotten Worse At: Serial Killing

Hey, JR. Are you ok, man? You’ve become pretty homicidal lately.
You know, I’m here to talk if you need someone to listen.
He’s just imagining his own version to the end of American Psycho.
JR has joined the Dark Side which is for sure not cliche to say at all. We’re looking for members so we can establish our own ridiculous belief system just so we don’t have to pay taxes.
I’ve been praying for him especially lately.
I’m in a league with a guy who took Keenan Allen with the 7th overall pick so it can’t be that bad for you, right?
I lost week 1 to a guy who drafted Calvin Johnson in the second round…..So i have that going for me which is nice.
You should have gone surfing with Duda when he was in town last weekend.
Fantasy football is the only thing that brings any meaning into my cynical world.
Show me your TD’s
You’re like Andre – everyone destroys you on here and hates you, but you somehow still stick around hoping for acceptance.
He likes that deep penetration like the Vikings Defense against the Titans in week 1. He likes 2 big ol’ sacks on his face.
Yep…office is doing a fantasy football league? Autodraft it is.
