Fearless Men’s Weekly Round-Up | August 23, 2012

Welcome to another round of articles that Todd and I have rounded up this past week for Fearless Men. We hope you enjoy them!

To start though I want to talk a bit about Fantasy Football and see who else is into it. I got 4 leagues myself this year, plus 1 baseball league that I’m currently in 1st place. For the past 5 years or so I’ve played only 1 football and 1 baseball league. That was it! But this year I’m ready to venture out and make horrible draft picks again…..sandwiched in between awesome picks full of stars and sleepers. A few years ago some guy drafted Adrian Peterson. Only problem was that he drafted the wrong AP. Ha! We all had a good laugh and he dwelled in the league basement all season. That’s how big of a difference that 1st pick can make sometimes. Any of you got Fantasy Football Drafts starting soon?

So this weeks round up has nothing to do with fantasy sports, maybe next week, but we do cover some good articles in the following topics: Finance, Grow, Train and Fearless.

  1. Thanks for including me! That post about how to lose money and get your rental property trashed was pretty good too, another good roundup!

  2. Thanks for the mention John. I don’t do any fantasy sports leagues, but I do try to watch plenty of sports. My buddy has been trying to get me to join his football fantasy league, but I just don’t follow it enough to draft players. Maybe that’s why he wants me to join lol. If it was hockey though, I’d be all over that.

    • It probably is. I should send you one too! haha! I think the draft is the best part. That’s where the majority of the smack talk and competition heats up. If you do one draft you might get hooked.

  3. Thanks a lot for including me. I love fantasy football. Makes each season just that much more fun.

  4. I’ve got to get into a fantasy football league this year. I joined a baseball league for the first time ever and had the world’s busiest summer…so I looked at it a whopping 5 times the whole season. Imagine my surprise: I’m in second place! Skillz…..

    Thanks for including my little productivity piece, gentlemen!

  5. John,

    Thanks for the kind mention of my “5 Rules on How to Lose Money” article.

    While I haven’t played Fantasy Football, I used to play an ancient version of Fantasy Baseball. I, unfortunately, always seem to have had the Yankees during their off years.
