That's right, I have football fever, and it has nothing to do with the World Cup.  I am talking about real football.  American football.  The NFL.  And, fantasy football.

Many of us who have stayed here for more than a day need the comforts of home.  Not all of us are content to study Chinese and eat rice everyday.  People like us need to watch western TV shows and eat pizza.  And, if you're like me, you need to play fantasy football.  For those of you who don't know what that is, please let me explain.

Fantasy football, simply put, is choosing a team of football players to score points for you based on different offensive and defensive criteria.  You keep the same football players throughout the season and play other players in a league head to head.  Choose the players that you think will score the most points every week.  If you score more points than your opponent, you win.  It could not be easier.

Now, the reason I am writing this blog is because I need you to join my fantasy football team.  It is called, "The League of Expats."  It is a league for - you guessed it - expats here in China.  The NFL season is just around the corner, so if you're interested in joining this league, give me a shout at jamesmania@hotmail.com.  Write fantasy football as the subject title.
