This here thing, this nabers fantasy points, it’s somethin’ else. I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the general store the other day. They was sayin’ it’s like a game, but you use real people, like them football players. I don’t rightly know how it all works, but it sounds mighty confusin’ to this old gal.
They say you gotta pick players, and then you get these points based on how they do in them games. Like, if they run real good or catch the ball a lot, you get more of them fantasy points. Sounds like a whole lotta work just to keep track of some fellas playin’ ball, if you ask me. Why can’t they just watch the game and enjoy it? Now, this Nabers fella, he’s one of them players they was talkin’ about.
I reckon he must be pretty good, ’cause they kept sayin’ his name over and over. “Nabers this” and “Nabers that.” If he gets hurt or somethin’ though, sounds like your whole fantasy points thing is messed up. That don’t sound like much fun to me. It is like, one fella get hurt, then your points go down. You need pick good ones, make your points go up, up, up!
- Pick good players, they said.
- Get them points, they said.
- Don’t pick the hurt ones, they said.
They was also talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called “draftin’.” Like they was gonna get sent off to war or somethin’. But it ain’t that. It’s just pickin’ your players for your fantasy team. I swear, these young folks come up with the silliest things. They got all these fancy words for simple things.
Now, I remember back in my day, we used to play games with sticks and stones. We didn’t need no fancy fantasy points or nothin’. We just made our own fun. You throw the stone, hit the stick, bam, you got a point. No need them fancy point things. And we sure didn’t need to keep track of no football players to do it. It is just simple and fun, you know.
And another thing, if you have good player, you want them keep doin’ good. You don’t want them get hurt, like that Nabers fella. They say he is managin’ some hurt right now. Poor boy. He is good player, get lots of fantasy points. But if he get hurt, then you lose points. You want him play good, run fast, catch ball. That’s how you get them points, I reckon.
This whole nabers fantasy points thing seems like a lot of bother for somethin’ that ain’t even real. It’s like playin’ pretend, but with grown men. But they also say you can win money with this fantasy points thing. You get more points than other folks, you win. I don’t know how that work, but money is money. If you good at this game, maybe you can get rich. That don’t sound too bad.
- More points, more money, maybe.
- Pick good players, get points, win money.
- Sounds easy, but it ain’t, I bet.
I guess it could be kinda fun if you’re into that sort of thing. But I’m too old for all that rigmarole. I’d rather sit on my porch and watch the world go by. But hey, if them young folks wanna spend their time chasin’ these fantasy points, who am I to judge? Just seems like a whole lotta fuss over a game to me.
These young folks, they like to make things complicated. Back in my day, things were simpler. We didn’t have all these fancy gadgets and gizmos. We played outside, used our imaginations. Now they’re inside, starin’ at screens, talkin’ ’bout fantasy points and whatnot. Different times, I suppose.
I still don’t understand what that Nabers boy do to get them points. Maybe he run fast. Maybe he jump high. Maybe he just lucky. I heard them young folks say somethin’ about “2B” and “Vane.” I don’t know who they are. Maybe they friends of Nabers. Maybe they play that fantasy game, too. They also talk about some “polymer clay.” I think they use that to make things. Like them little dolls. Maybe they make a little Nabers doll, hah!
- Nabers, 2B, Vane, all play this fantasy thing.
- Polymer clay? What’s that?
- Young folks these days, always on them screens.
Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say about this nabers fantasy points business. It’s a mystery to me, but to each their own, I suppose. Just remember, there’s more to life than just a game, even if it is a fancy one with all them points and whatnot. Don’t forget to enjoy the simple things, like a good sunset or a nice cup of coffee. Those things are better than any fantasy points, if you ask me. And don’t get hurt like that Nabers boy. That’s no good for nobody.
