YOU MUST READ THIS BEFORE YOU START THE SEASON!!!

OK, so we're one week away from Opening Day. You're team is drafted, you've already looked over some trades, you know every free agent that could possibly fit on your team - IT'S FANTASY FOOTBALL TIME! But, before you start your season, can we give you some Do's and Don'ts for your Fantasy Football year! We won't claim that these will "win you a championship" but it will make fantasy football a whole lot more fun for you and the people in your league.
DO have fun! DON'T make this into a job, something that defines your worth, or takes away from your family and friends!
DO be fair and honest with the info you receive. In fact, let other people know where you get your info so they can get it too if they'd like to. DON'T be that guy who tries to rip everybody off or tries to trade hurt players for major values.
DO your research and listen to ESPN Fantasy Focus, HackHype and go to Footballguys.com. Educate yourself on your players so you DON'T freak out about who to start and who to sit. DO the research and then trust your opinion. And know that you will pick the wrong guy sometimes.
DO pick the guys you feel are going to have a great day. DON'T pick someone just because the experts say to. If someone is going to mess up your fantasy season, it might as well be you....and it's a lot funnier when the guys in your league start talking trash over something stupid you did!
DO listen to Fantasy Focus with Matthew Barry. He gets it! He does his research, but he's humble enough to admit he doesn't know it all. And he has fun with fantasy football.
DO annoy your family and friends by constantly talking about your fantasy football team. Nobody likes that...and that's exactly why it's so hilarious when you and a buddy are talking about who to start out of Matt Forte and Jahvid Best and everyone else goes into a short-lived coma.
DO spend your season building relationships! DON'T make your goal to "win the championship." Remember, there's a lot of luck involved in this thing. If you haven't won the championship in 14 years you may still be a good person. And you'll have these friends a lot longer than the stupid fantasy football trophy.
DO celebrate victories. Make it a little ritual. Every time your team wins, get yourself a little snacky! Talk a little trash to the guy you just beat. Have fun with it. But, DON'T get angry over loses. Sure, everyone wants to win, but getting angry because you had Dwayne Bowe on your bench and started Brandon Marshall just isn't worth it!
DO have fun! That's why we all started doing this stuff. It's fun! Remember to keep it that way!
