Amazon Prime Thursday Night Football “Channel Fever” defined
FANTASY FOOTBALL “CHANNEL FEVER” IS REAL
In a couple of days, the NFL will be kicking off its season on Amazon Prime Thursday Night Football. Not only is everyone excited for the season to finally start, but fantasy football owners are currently experiencing a new feeling. For rookies, it may be brand new.
While I was active duty in the Navy underway overseas on my first western-pacific deployment in 1994 I learned what the term “Channel Fever” actually meant.
It's defined as an unusual excitement or restlessness common among a ship’s crew when the ship nears port after a voyage. Pulling into Hong Kong at age 19 on the USS CARL VINSON (CVN-70) for the first time was a lot of fun.
Prime Video’s TNF schedule features all 14 playoff teams from last season and several can’t-miss matchups, including Giants vs. 49ers, Broncos vs. Chiefs, Bengals vs. Ravens, and Seahawks vs. Cowboys. ~Amazon
THE BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT
What I want to get across to you today is to be sure to measure the KOOL-AID before grabbing your remote and taking your first sip. Feeling excited about the season kicking off is one thing. Don’t just start players in your lineups in this game, just to be cute. Unless their names are Mahomes, Kelce, Amon-Ra, or Gybbs.
Many owners are feeling this new type of “Channel Fever” for the first time, and it’s real. I believe this is one of the main driving factors why “EL Travedor” was so coveted in the first RD. I chose not to drink the KOOL-AID and went CONTRARIAN instead.
Lastly, I didn’t draft “EL TRAVEDOR” in any of my leagues. As a CONTRARIAN you go against the popular belief of the fantasy football crowd. I stood on that. I’m not hating on him either. It’s kind of this other feeling I have about this season called a “HUNCH.” Defined as a feeling or guess based on intuition rather than known facts.
Do you feel that way also? Don’t believe me? Call my “Bluff.” Be sure to follow me on Medium today if “YES.” I believe all good things come to an end. Just like those 6-month deployments come to an end for the ultimate home port ‘Channel Fever.”
