I’ve played fantasy football going on….twenty years now? If you aren’t familiar with the culture, it may come as no surprise there is usually a cash prize for finishing first. If you finish last, however, your league typically shames you. Say for instance…putting your face on the side of a bus shelter in Chicago:
That’s Ryan. While he is the only two-time champion of his league, he finished at the bottom of the standings this year. And after reading more about him (by way of the Tribune), he and his longtime girlfriend/fiancee split a few months back. So his friends decided to take out a “singles ad” in Wicker Park (Milwaukee, North, & Damen) — one of the hotbeds of single ladies here in the city. Its been up for a few days and will run for a month.
His friends were kind enough to list his attributes: respected educator (he’s a social studies teacher)
His friends were also kind enough to list his cons: fantasy football loser…and that he “perspires ambitiously.”
With friends like those…who needs enemies? Or Tinder? — [eric]
