It is with no small bit of wonder that I recently realized my participation in fantasy sports began 20 years ago, in 1991. Originally "Rotisserie Baseball", within a couple of years I was also playing fantasy football and it was not long before fantasy baseball fell off and I just enjoyed playing the football equivalent. So it was that I am realizing how little I enjoy fantasy football today, and spent a few minutes trying to figure out why. My answer? Playing fantasy football today requires little-to-no thought. It has been reduced to a near-Zynga-like game, which for my money is the ultimate condemnation. Let's take a look at the evolution of the game that has reduced it to zombie-like button-pressing.
