		<description><![CDATA[In my last article I gave a general description of fantasy football and how it is played.  So, if you’re in the dark on that, just go back to my “Tight Ends” article and give yourself a refresher.  In this article, I’m going to talk about joining or starting a league and picking players (hot men), also called drafting, for your fantasy team.

First of all, how do you join a fantasy league?  Well, if you’re ambitious you can start one yourself.  You just need to have 8, 10, or 12 people total (including yourself) that are willing to be in the league.  You can choose for your league to be a points league (where the person with the most points at the end of the season wins), or a head-to-head league (where teams go against each other each week and accrue wins and losses).  In my experience, head-to-head is more fun because you can get competitive with each other, smack talk the other team, and see your ranking each week among all the teams in the league.  If you would rather just join a league and don’t know where to begin, you can start with Yahoo!, which offers public leagues that anyone can join.  Just go to Yahoo! Fantasy Football and follow the links to join a public league.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually when women think of the word “fantasy," it brings to mind a particularly satisfying shopping experience where everything cute is not only your size but it’s also on sale!  However, when the dog days of summer start turning to the days of early autumn, the word fantasy applies to football.  Now, most of the time the term fantasy football brings to mind images of your husband/boyfriend/brother/dad sitting in front of the flat screen on Sunday shouting things like, “Come on you bum!  I only need 2 more yards from your broke a** to win this week!”  And until now, you may have had a vague idea of what that means, but perhaps feel a bit confused or intimidated by the whole concept of fantasy football.  Fear no more, ladies!  You too can understand (and even enjoy) fantasy football.

Fantasy football is a game where a group of people (usually 8, 10, or 12) has teams that compete against each other each week of the regular NFL football season....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, Kelly was a dancer for the Chicago Rush Arena Football Team, a coach for a state winning high school poms team, and a middle school teacher.  She has since hung up her dancing shoes and is now a children and family photographer while at home with her three daughters, Elizabeth (4 ½), Caroline (23 months), and Allison (2 months).

And now, for football season 2010-2011, she is going to share tips, updates and more about fantasy football with all of us!

You still have a little time to start your own league! Watch for Kelly's first article this weekend to learn all about the basics of fantasy football, and stay tuned for more insight from her as the season unfolds.

		<description><![CDATA[For the first ten years of our marriage, we lived in Easton, PA.  I worked as a marketing director for a high-technology firm in central New Jersey.

That’s where I learned the value of following sports and being knowledgeable about sports. It helped me professionally in terms of being considered “one of the guys” as a female in a male-dominated high-tech workplace.  As we all know, in the workplace, easy-going informal relationships can lead to formal work opportunities.  And they did.

Every Monday morning, there would be a string of co-workers in my office, mostly male, to talk about Saturday’s college football games.  There were a number of co-workers who loved Penn State, including some alumni.  But there were also Michigan, Ohio State, Northwestern, Rutgers, USC, and Notre Dame fans.

Our common bond was football.  The banter was constant about who would win each week.  It was a great deal of fun to be in the center of all this discussion.

My co-workers were clearly admiring of the fact that I actually attended Penn State games. They were quite envious of me as I traveled to watch Penn State play.

While others watched games on TV, I had the bragging rights of having been in the stands.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Carolyn Todd

In football, X’s and O’s refer to specific plays that are used in executing an overall offensive and defensive strategy for a game.  Males often learn the X and O game tactics through their own youth play experience, formal or informal, whether in backyard games, in junior high or high school, or beyond.  For many men, knowing football X’s and O’s is a part of growing up, a decidedly male thing in an overwhelmingly male sport.

For most women growing up, X’s and O’s are more associated with affectionate symbols for kisses and hugs sent on letters to friends as teenagers.  X’s and O’s as football game strategy is more often an alien concept than something that is truly understood. 

Over time I began to understand my own attraction to the game.  There are four aspects of the game that appeal to me:

the customer experience of being physically present at a game,
the chance to watch young players evolve over 4-5 years,
the game itself with its complex strategic elements, and
bragging rights with co-workers or friends.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s that time again. Football season! Ugh, you think. Here we go again. If only I could truly understand the game and look forward to watching it as much as my friends and colleagues. Could I really learn to love football? Well, we at Football 101 Women think the answer is yes!

Just ask Carolyn Todd. She wasn’t always a Penn State football fan. Growing up in Boston, her interest in sports was confined to social situations, like many of us out there. Until, that is, she met her husband Terry and he shared his passion for Penn State football. The rest is history….
