I know who this is!
I know who this is.

We recently held the draft for our first-ever Volume One office fantasy football league. I’ll just get it out there right away that I took Aaron Rodgers in the first round. They say you’re supposed to get running backs first, but I wanted at least one dude on the team I actually knew a little something about, so I took the top-ranked Packer quarterback.  Let’s just say some of us know a little more about football than others here.  I’m no slouch, but compared to a few people here, I’m pretty much a slouch. Regardless, I think it will be fun, and the weekly smack talk has already begun. A handful of staff and some friends even gather once in a while to watch games here at the office. That’s because a hidden purpose for the art gallery in The Local Store is that we can watch major Packer games (or any other major televised event) on the big screen and sound system, all within reach of a fairly well-stocked fridge of craft beers and sodas. And while I’d say I look forward to the start of Packer season as much as anyone else, with this year being my first fantasy season, I’ll admit I’m a little more excited. I guess you could say I have Football Fever. Which, by the way, is the name of our new annual special section. Enjoy.
