The mock fantasy football draft -- a practice draft -- was finally, mercifully over, the insulting back-and-forth finally finished, plumes of smoke billowing from the guns of their mutual hatred. But Gary had said something late in that fake draft that Pete could not forget: he had insulted Pete's hair, the very pride of his life, the reason for waking. As if his feet had decided for him, Pete was out of bed, dressed, and walking the seven miles to Gary's house, where Gary's wife would soon be snuggling a bloody corpse with a frozen look of absolute horror.

Clearing out the weeds from my overgrown yard, I cursed Mother Nature. I took joy ripping each plant out of the ground by its roots, looking forward to my lawn being only perfect grass. Mother Nature must have heard me because the vast tract of poison ivy came to life in front of me, bound me and choked me, until its finally killed me.

Inspired by my friend and frequent guest CDCarter13, follow him on twitter and also check out his ebook of Halloween short stories available on the Kindle store.

Coming Soon: How to Think Like a Fantasy Football Winner by C.D. Carter

No, this book won't have a detailed strategy guide on how to have the best draft, although C.D. does write weekly fantasy advice around the internet. Instead this is more  a game theory book, how to use the mental approaches to the game that winning poker players use and apply them to fantasy football.

Why "poker" strategies? Because poker is a very mental game that you are forced to play with incomplete information. I've read several excerpts from the book and seriously, its good stuff. Check out some of the excerpts below...
