Fantasy Football For Dummies Analysis
When reading Fantasy Football for Dummies, by a Dummy, I got bored. I knew what he was talking about because I watch football and I know what Fantasy Football is. The narrator pieced the paper in a plain manner. With barely painting a vivid picture, the description gave me a basic idea of what the reading was about.
What I think would of enhanced Fantasy Football for Dummies by a Dummy, would of been more of a description of other characters in his league. He mentions other people in his league but nothing really about them. If he would of included a more detailed description of the fantasy football league,
When he mentions the league in the second paragraph, that would of been a nice addition of a description to grasp the reader's attention

    There are many things that I really enjoyed reading in my book. Some of those things would have to be just how accurate everything seemed to be. A good example of this would be how Mrs. Bowen put all of the dates and historical events into the arguments that were held in making the Constitution. Another thing that I liked was just how the author made me…

    Imagine that through some instance of clairvoyance, you have the foresight to see the outcome of this week’s upcoming Football games. You have the option to choose between 2 players to start at Wide Receiver. The first player is the quintessential “matchup proof” WR1 and the other one is a de facto starter of a far lower pedigree. The Wide Receivers score 18 and 21 fantasy points respectively. When given the option between Player A’s 18 points and Player B’s 21 Points, most, if not all owners would choose to start Player B. There’s no trick here, with the information provided so far this should be a straightforward decision.…

    As such, players in later rounds will often benefit from conversations with NFL teams to ensure that their professional valuation is in line with the analysts view. One NFL hopeful, Shyrone Stith, learned this lesson the hard way. In the 2000 draft, well renowned analyst Mel Kiper of ESPN predicted Stith would be selected at a respectable 46th, which would result in a substantial salary. He left school early, with hopes of NFL glory, only to wait for days until he was picked 243rd and received a position on the bench and the league’s minimum wage. One could speculate that if Stith had stayed in college he would have at least received a college diploma and had an opportunity to improve his draft position. This exemplifies the potential of misevaluating one’s relative skill and market…

    This book is the type of read one would recommend to a friend, however may not be up to the AP curriculum standards. On one hand the book is smart, funny, and exciting. While on the other hand it is simple and at times feels overwritten, as if Mezrich tried too hard. For example, there are moments where the action becomes so enticing and Mezrich manages to ruin it by trying to convince the reader how exciting all of this really is. Specifically, in describing one particular hand, Mezrich writes, "Kevin drew a nine for a solid nineteen. Martinez drew another queen, a strong twenty. The dealer had a six showing. Heaven on felt.(pg. 82)" The last portion of that description is a bit cliché and tacky, and it is made clear that Mezrich was trying too hard. Going back to an earlier point, had Mezrich trusted the thrill of the action more and left off the unnecessary insight at the end of the sentence, he would have been better off. The most exhilarating parts of Mezrich's book describe the paranoia that sweeps through the players once they discover that the Vegas security agency is on to them. This is where Mezrich is able to shine, through the use of intense description and a tantalizing depiction of the events that follow. For example, “The team was in disarray, their future as a profitable venture utterly uncertain.(pg. 189)” That sentence alone sets the tone for the next five chapters, where the MIT students are in a scramble to save the teams as well as their own futures.…

    How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster will not grant you some innate capability to comprehend complicated texts, and it will most definitely not establish your position in society as a“professor.” Coincidentally, Foster’s novel demonstrates an essential quality of Literature: placing the reader fast asleep. However, that is not to say the novel isn’t good; the novel is simply not a “joy read.” The book not being particularly enjoyable has nothing to do with the manner in which it was written, but more to do with the educational aspect of it. Being forced to do something is hardly ever enjoyable.…

    It also helps to know the fundamentals of how to play Fantasy Football before starting your own league. For starters, in fantasy football, you are the “owner” or the “manager” of your own team that you drafted and put together yourself. The fun part, is that the team consists of real NFL football players from the current season you decide to play. You earn fantasy points based on each NFL players stats throughout the season. For example, if you draft Tom Brady as your quarterback for your team, and he throws a touchdown pass, you will earn fantasy points. Or, if your player is hurt, you won’t earn any points therefore you should not start him in your next lineup.…

    Reading for academic purposes and reading for pleasure, they can be perceived as opposites when in essence they are mostly the same. With each the object is to read a work of literature and gain knowledge or experience from its contents, and with both methods one can recognize patterns, themes, and analogies. One can notice the similarities among novels and assume that the hero will win in the end without much thought. The key difference that distinguishes academic reading is the fact that it requires a conscious effort to connect seemingly disparate characters, events, and even stories to gain true understanding of the work. An example, albeit a simple one, would be George Orwell’s Animal Farm. In his novel, although never directly stated,…
