Related to Secondary Reality, I have my third fantasy football draft in a row in about an hour. They aren't as much fun as when I started, when there was more confusion, and thus more banter. Last night we finished in 30 minutes.

Today will be slower.  It is a very old league - I think this is year 43 - that used to be played by postcard and telephone. It is a dynasty league in which you keep 10-12 players every year, so the draft is rookies plus semi-castoffs. Scoring is odd. It's old guys who have known each other for years - I came in five years ago or more and am the new kid.

So I know that because of injuries Marvin Mims is a sneaky good pickup - but maybe not for me, because I am in pretty good shape for WRs. I have had Travis Kelce lo these many years and will be looking for a young replacement, this year and possibly next. But even Kelce, who has been famous and is nearing the end of his career, I wouldn't recognise.  In person I might figure out he was a tight end at 6'6" and 250 lbs and fast. But I don't even know his number, so watching a game I would have to conclude which one was Travis from where he lined up and what he was doing.

I know a lot but I don't know anything.
