Heroes don't analyze spreadsheets!

This is a funny, sarcastic take on the current fantasy sports craze by Neal Pollack. I do think there is some kind of cerebral challenge to playing the fantasy GM, which might explain the attraction to sports-nerds. I can relate to this sentiment in the article: I've struggled for years to ignore the NBA's arcane salary cap rules, and I'm not about to change now. Reminds me of the amount of interest among Formula-1 fans in the BAR-Honda weight controversy - I was stunned to see people discussing technical details of the car on message boards supposedly dedicated to sports (I guess it is also partly the nature of racing in general, and Formula-1 in particular)! - NK
