Re: Uncommon Opinions

I'm sure I'm not the only one on OS, but coffee is disgusting.

I wouldn't know. I've never tried coffee before.

I don't really drink caffeine lol. No coffee, no energy drinks, no soda.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I feel this is uncommon, as several of my co worker friends are addicted to this, but, I really have no interest nor desire in even trying fantasy football, nor fantasy baseball for that matter.

Especially baseball: I know a guy who's heavy into it. He can tell you hitting percentages of a player vs left handed pitching with runners in scoring position!
He's anything but a nerd except when it comes to this, lol

I just don't get it?

Uncommon Opinions

I can see why people aren't into it. My friend hates it because it puts stress on games he just wants to enjoy. What's not to get though? There are plenty of reasons to like it. Most people are the opposite of my buddy. I couldn't give a crap about a Thursday night football game against two crappy teams. Until I have two guys playing and there is $$$ on the line.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I used to draft fantasy teams full of players I hated on my own teams, just so I had a reason to root for them.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I can't stand football pre-game shows.

I used to love watching them in the morning before games. Now though I find myself reaching for the remote to change the channel as soon as possible.

I used to watch Fox's just to see Caliendo's impressions, lol.

Eh, I agree to some extent.

In college we used to love fantasy leagues, but once we all moved away it wasn't as fun. I only enjoy leagues where I constantly see and talk with the people about the teams. Otherwise I get bored. I've tried a "random" Yahoo league before and it's so boring when you don't know or care about the other people.

I haven't been in any leagues for a while.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

To go with my expensive steak opinion...

There is no reason to pay more than $8 for a bottle of wine.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Honestly, I'm thinking about quitting fantasy football.

I've been really into it for the last couple of years and I was way too much time contemplating my lineup.

Anyway, this year I had a terrible season and knew I wasn't making the playoffs about 8 weeks in. Suddenly, I started enjoying games much more, there was no stress and I wasn't mad when a player I had dropped a ball. I've been enjoying football more than ever the last 10 weeks and it's because I'm not paying attention to fantasy.

Of course, that's not fantasy football's problem, it's just my temper and my tendency to get too attached to a game.

I feel bad for you guys. We've got plenty of pretty relatively good wines out here for under $5 a bottle. We do live in part of the big wine area, though. So many local wineries around here that have their stuff relatively cheap in the grocery store.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I thought I was being cheap by going with the big Yellow tail bottles for $11.97 at Wal-Mart.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Wine is terrible. It taste like dry water.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I'm not a drinker, but after doing a few winery tours over the years I come back to this one as a top value and has a light, great taste.

You can get this at the winery in Woodinville, WA for around 10 bucks a bottle.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I can't get this 1.5L bottle for around $10 at the local grocery store.

It's cheap, taste good and if you drink about 3-4 glasses you feel pretty good too.

I used to hate it as well, but then we hit up a local restaurant one night and they paired the wine with the food perfectly and now I love it.

We haven't drank anything in probably over a year now, but we do end up cooking with wine a lot.
