The Allure of the Fantasy Draft

For most of you this post might be to late as you have probably already completed your fantasy drafts, but although this post will include a few sleeper picks I would like to suggest, its mainly about asking the question: why do people love fantasy sports so much?
Its the dream job of many to become a NHL general manager and build a Stanley cup winning team, but if that's not possible whats our next best option? Fantasy hockey. The idea of building your very own hockey team and most importantly competing against others seems to intrigue many sports fans, mainly because sports fans at heart are athletes themselves and therefore have an intense love of competition and the game itself.
Well at least that's my take on the subject, I haven't really said anything new or meaningful, but this post is just really something I have decided to post since I haven't posted anything in years and no one reads this blog anyway. Also here are my sleeper picks for anyone out there doing a draft: Villie Lieno(Detroit rookie), Cam Barker(Chicago offensive defenseman, guy put up big numbers in junior so he is just waiting to break out in the NHL), Bobby Ryan(gets significantly better every season), Sergei Shirkov(as much as I hate the canucks this guy is suppose to get a chance on the first and second line), Dustin Byfuglien(as we all saw in the playoffs this guy is a menace), and for a goalie Semyon Varlamov(splitting time with Theodore who we all know will have another terrible season), with one last honourable mention to Pascal Leclaire who will be the starter on a high powered offensive team in Ottawa so he should at least pick up a few wins.

I think that these Lego's really make a great teaching tool for kids as well, and keeps their minds occupied. You can buy all sorts of different LEGO sets out there, but in my opinion this particular set IS the Ultimate set that everyone who plays with lego should have. Don't take the
easy way out by photographing the pile of bricks on the
floor.

When you are using and their services, you can go to pick up your favorite handbags, but the script would have been thrown out of any Hollywood studio for being unbelievable, ridiculous even.
