The football season's winding down, and that means fantasy football's ending even sooner. How are we supposed to live if we can't attribute fake points to actions we have no control over? Never fear, sports nerds, here are some alternative fantasy games to fill that void 'til fantasy golf season starts up again.
1. Fantasy Guys' Night Out
Before you hit the town with your boys, pick one of 'em as your fantasy player for the evening. Come up with a point system for his actions: Points given for drunken hugs, drunken fights and 20-minute conspiracy theory tirades. Automatic win if your player hooks up at the end of the night.
2. Fantasy Your Job
Going to your job is the worst of all the worsts, but make it more fun by selecting the most annoying guy at the office and seeing how many points he can rack up. Points are given for sending you a "funny" e-mail forward, making lame "Case Of The Mondays" jokes and getting yelled at by the boss for incompetence. Also: 10 points for every hour your player spends on Facebook.
