Welcome to The Season: Between the Hash Marks, hosted by Mike Kaus. We’ve all heard of reality television, but this show is fantasy reality radio. Join host Mike on his quest for fantasy football glory as he gives you an inside look into two ultra-competitive fantasy leagues. The history, the rivalries, the ups, the downs, the sweet victories, and the bitter defeats.
The show focuses on two different leagues. The first is one we can all relate to: our local money league with our best friends. These are the guys that we really want to crush every week, and then rub it in their faces year round. The second is a high-stakes fantasy football league with a grand prize of $100,000. The competition couldn’t be more intense, and you’re welcome to come along for the ride.
The Hit
• The Hit is a feeling that is difficult to describe; it’s different for everyone
• The Hit, for me, stems from football two-a-days and my head football coach
• It’s that feeling that you get when you know that football is right around the corner
• What is the same for everyone is the passion for football that comes with the hit
• Music: Any Town USA by George Thorogood and The Destroyers
HOW I GOT STARTED WITH FANTASY FOOTBALL
• The Hit brought me to fantasy football
• Jonathan, a lawyer I worked with at an internship, introduced me to fantasy football
• This was a perfect outlet for The Hit, unlike the world of lawyering
• I ended up signing up for a league, and made some horrid rookie mistakes
• Now that you know how I got started, let’s talk about the leagues we are going to follow during this show
• The Great Lakes Football League, AKA the GLFL or the Law League
• A high stakes football league on The AFFL for a grand Prize of $100,000
THE CHURCH OF FANTASY FOOTBALL
• We are brethren, and every Sunday we worship at the altar of fantasy football
• We revere the same names and events
• Join me in my quest for the championship
