OK, so as if coaching real-live football wasn't enough (not to mention pro Fantasy football that is sure to commence at the end of the summer), Michael is now participating in a fantasy-type coaching program online (www.whatifsports.com).
Here's what he's been doing lately:
"Gridiron Dynasty is your chance to work your way to the top of the college football coaching world! You'll first need to find a job and begin recruiting. As if finding the the perfect high school player for your coaching system wasn't difficult enough, you'll have a limited budget and hundreds of other coaches competing with you. After the recruiting period has ended, you'll coach your team through an entire college football season. Preparing for each opponent, dealing with player issues, administration issues (all while watching your team's national ranking) will really have you earning your paycheck! At the end of the regular season, unless you win your conference championship, then it will be up to the selection committee to decide whether your team will be playing in the post-season and have a chance to win a National Championship! After the season, your job continues - graduations, transfers and even players leaving early for the NFL. Plus, based on your success, you may have other schools seeking your coaching services - but only you can decide how best to build your own Gridiron Dynasty!"
Yep! Fake players (they even have photographs) that send you fake e-mails. Michael's in the recruiting phase right now, which they should really call the "butt kissing phase."
They're offering a special promotion, so right now this is all free. One day (soon, I'm sure) people (meaning Michael) will have to PAY to play this game.
I just don't get it.
Maybe I should create a fantasy website called "whatiftheatre.com." You would get to pretend you are the artistic director of a theatre company and you have to pick your season, hire directors and designers, cast actors, hire musicians, etc. Other participants would be other artistic directors at rival companies, and you would compete for ticket sales. There could be fake patrons who send fake e-mails telling you what they thought of your production: "Do a comedy!" or "You should only do serious plays!" Ooh! Ooh! And you could get e-mailed fake resumes from actors and fake audition footage!
Hmmm...Maybe I'm onto something.

You complained when Michael was looking at straight porn. Then you complained about lesbian porn. Now its fantasy crap.
This boy has his ya ya's in a vice!
I had to stop playing fantasy basketball. It's addicting and can take over your life. I used to stress over who to play. And since there's an NBA game EVERY DAY, it's worse than Football which is only played on Sundays.
I say let him play. It's better than doing meth on his off time.
Hey Jen! People have to have their "outlets". I'm addicted to American Idol! In Michael's case it is a healthy outlet, much better than what has been said, whether it is porn or drugs or even gambling! I saw Michael coach the other night, and I never heard him talk so much! Priscilla thought that he was Italian, since he was talking with his hands, but I pointed out that those were signals to the batter and baserunners! :0)
PS: Saturday, 9 AM - ESPN coverage of the NFL Draft (for REAL!).
Woah! This is supposed to be MY outlet . . . Why don't you all go and be Michael's best friend instead? :-)
