Well, in fairness, it can't if you care absolutely nothing for the NFL. If you're one of the world's non-football fans, blissfully reveling in your football ignorance while celebrating the emptiness of stores on Sundays, then read no further this warning does not apply to you.
However, if you have any love of or loyalty to your team, then beware! While I have enjoyed great success participating in various fantasy football leagues for many years now (*fondly rubs her virtual 1st place trophy for 2007 season*) my wins have not come without their cost: I am the Grim Reaper of FF. That's right - if I draft you there's a much better than even chance that you will NOT complete the season....in fact, usually you won't even make it one more game before some god-awful, season (sometimes, career) ending injury will occur to you. My track record in this area is uncanny...disturbing...and has caused me to cease drafting players from any team I like (and correspondingly, I now draft specifically from teams competing with my favs...Washington Redskins fans, you've been forewarned!).
I could provide lists of the key players I've selected and the immediate major injuries sustained, but instead I'll provide single example from last season: I drafted Tom Brady in first round....and the rest is history, including his season ending injury.
So fear my upcoming draft....tremble in the face of my all powerful ability to devastate your city's team...and be aware that for slight monetary compensation I may be willing to exclude your favorite player from my scythe as I swing it this weekend, let me know.
