There's three things Katarya and I share in common:
1. A love for milkshakes
2. Being minorities
3. Freaking out too early into a season after a loss
If he's anything like me, and he is (except more employed), he probably had some serious doubts about his team after a Week 2 loss. It's like going through the five stages of grief, except in some weird fantasy football realm. First we'll both deny that either A) that loss was legit or B) that our teams are that terrible. Then somebody will trash talk to us - in my case it's usually Bryan, in Katarya's I'm guessing Tim's been ribbing him pretty good (ew?). Then the bargaining begins.
"Who can I trade with?"
"Should I drop this guy?"
You know, those kind of things. Then, of course, it's depression. We think our teams suck (at this point, Bryan is still whipping trash talk to me). Finally, we accept it. We tell ourselves that our teams are either terrible or good and just go with it.
Sure, it's a poor example, but to an extent it's true. I think we all bargain, get angry, get upset, deny the truth to some degree, etc. But it is only Week 2, so we can't overreact too much. That being said, if I had to guess, a team starting 0-3 to start a season probably doesn't have the greatest odds of making it to the playoffs. So if you're KC, Danny, or Baron, maybe you can overreact. That or try to hack someone's computer and mess with their lineups.
On to the rankings!
