Are you Ready For Fantasy Football?

To be honest, I knew very little about fantasy football. I was one of those sports fans who follows football when it is in season, watches some games on TV, follows games on the internet, somehow remembers every score and stat, and then gets really excited during the playoffs and, of course, the Super Bowl. I don't have the time or money to go see actual NFL games, though I am sure I'd greatly enjoy them.

Anyway, I kept seeing ads for fantasy football online and in other places wondered what it was, so I did some research. Apparently, fantasy football is a sports game for those who want to be involved with football all year round. And not just involved as in watching games, but actually owning, managing and running a "fantasy" football team. When the real football season starts - and it can be the NFL or a division of the NCAA or some other league - scores in the fantasy football leagues are determined by using statistics compiled by actual players.

Who started fantasy football, and when? It all goes back almost 50 years when a limited partner in the Oakland Raiders and some of his sports writer and editor friends cooked up the idea during a long road trip. When they got back, they started the first fantasy football league. Initially, it was hard to form leagues and keep the information flowing, but then came personal computers and finally the Web. Today, fantasy football is big business and fantasy football team fanatics are being courted by television networks and advertisers because they watch more games, buy more tickets, and spend more on their sport than average fans.

But how does it all work? The big attraction of fantasy football is that it's not just watching games. Fantasy football is living the game and actively participating in it. You pick a team, you draft players, you follow rules, you observe salary caps and negotiate contracts. Franchise owners may have to pay (fictional) taxes, trade players, and, of course, try to win games and championships, establish dynasties or make to a coveted Hall of Fame. Things can get quite competitive, but you make friends in the process and many of the same teams play each other season after season.

Fantasy football games have as many rules as the real thing. Scoring can be complex as it depends on the stats of actual players on actual teams. And since fantasy league teams have players from a number of teams, a fantasy franchise owner often doesn't know which real-world team he should root for! What's important here is that the real performance and stats of real players in real games decides how well your fantasy team does. So picking and drafting the right players is very important.

How do you get started with this fascinating and addictive pastime? Fantasy football information is easy to come by on the web. Look around, check some of the many leagues, and then sign up with one and become a team owner. There are any number of leagues with different flavors and rules (the commissioner usually determines the scoring system). Some leagues cost a lot, but others are affordable and suit the novice as well as the expert fantasy football player. Give it a shot!

Redskins Bounce Back With Win Over Rams

To beat the Rams at home by a score of 9-7 isn't exactly impressive, but they'll take it however they can get it. At least the defense seemed to be effective. Then again, it all happened against the Rams, a team that struggled to score throughout 2008 and seems to have the same problem in 2009.

The Washington Redskins find themselves in arguably the toughest division in football. The Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles play competitive football nearly every year, and attempting to win that division is an extremely tall order for a team like Washington. For this reason, every game and every week matters to the fullest.

The Redskins have an interesting team in the sense that it's considered well rounded. On the other hand, they have the weakest quarterback in the division in Jason Campbell (while he's a good quarterback, he doesn't compare to the likes of Donovan McNabb, Eli Manning, or Tony Romo), and the defenses in New York, Philadelphia, and Dallas are all stronger than that in Washington.

Their receivers (Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, etc.) are good, but not great, and while Clinton Portis is no doubt one of the best running backs of the decade, he's aging a bit, and seems to have lost a step.

Where the Skins will go from here is anybody's guess, but they remain a long shot to win the division. This is a tough division, and barring any major injuries to the other teams, I just don't see the Redskins vying for a playoff spot.

Football Kits Are a Positive Motivational Factor

By association we remember at once the team by its football kit - the colour, the style and design, the fabric and embroidered extras - such as team logo/name, Sponsor Name and logo and shirt number. The fact that the shorts may also have embroidered numbers or Logo adds to the overall impact the football team kit has on all who see it.

You could say that it is the official uniform of any football team. Take away the uniform and their identity is lost. It is therefore reasonable to deduce that football kits, once chosen, form a team identity that becomes an integral part of the team branding and promotion that makes them unique. It is not unusual for professional teams to have a number of football kits, for example, a second kit to facilitate playing against other teams with similar colours. Again they are instantly recognisable in their away kit - it becomes part of the team image - and these different kits are synonymous with the team.

Once a team football kit has been established then the identity is clear and unmistakeable. This is what motivates managers and coaches to insist on football kits. They provide a sense of unity, purpose, consistency and continuity and stamp an image of professionalism and attractiveness on the team.

The concept of belonging can also be extended to the team supporters who are very often seen wearing their team colours at all their matches. The team football kits are a focus for more than just the players - they also motivate others to come out and actively support the team at both home and away matches. It becomes a community/ family this creates a sense of bonding and pride that further motivates the team to raise its performance levels on a consistent note.

Wearing football kits instils a sense of pride in teams and motivates them to perform well and succeed under a corporate banner. Each player is spurred on by the desire to work hard for the colours and the team - should the colours be historic or new - the sense of bonding and belonging grows stronger. How often have we heard teams referred to simply by their football kits or some aspect of the kits - for example - The Reds, The Blues, The Candy Stripes, The Hoops- the list is endless? This is testament to the prime importance of football kits and their association with particular teams.

Bearing all these facts in mind we recognise what factors motivate managers, coaches and teams in their purchase of football kits. They know that to purchase the appropriate kit will provide the motivation a team needs to progress and perform with pride. The choice on line is not only extensive but qualitative so go on line and see for yourself. Choose an online sales company that is reputable and you can make a successful purchase every time.
