Fantasy League Conclave

I hear there’s a new thing, a new game in town, and—as they say—when in Rome—Fantasy League Conclave.

There’s at least 133 players, all actionable, concurrent, and eager to play. They come dressed in their gear. All are highly vetted with lifetime stats that recommend. But only one can come out the winner. A game changer.

Fantasy League Conclave is a bit of reality TV mixed in with Grand Theft Auto (whatever version you prefer). The contestants—ahem, Cardinals—are fully loaded, ready to deploy. While there is no smoking gun, there’s lots of smoke!

There’s the back-room meetings, back stabbing, rumors, dog-piling, false leads all strategies employed by the longest surviving Survivor: “Outwit, Outplay, Outlast.” It’s not in prowess, mental agility, but how one plays the game. And, a bit of luck. Or what the Church calls Faith.

Key to one’s success will be forming alliances, adaptability or staying flexible ie the ability to pivot, and knowing when to strike or make a move.

Here’s to all the players—both on the “field” and those playing at home. May the best man (because of course it will be a man!) win.
