DALLAS — For some, this week is simply a prelude to Cowboys-Jaguars in Jacksonville. For many others, it’s all about preparation for a holiday next week. Yes, I suppose I am aware of both of those things although, like millions of others, my mind is not on a particular game or forgotten shopping chores.
It might say Week 15 on the NFL calendar, but it’s all about the start of the fantasy football playoffs to us.
We go to work, we hug our loved ones, we get hooked on “Don’t Pick Up the Phone” on Netflix just to blend in with the rest of the world. Our frazzled brains are elsewhere. If we don’t win this week, our fantasy season is over and that’s too disturbing a reality to even think about.
