According to ESPN, every fall an obsession seems to grip over 27 million Americans.

Fantasy Football.

Growing up outside the US I had a hard time wrapping my mind around the American concept of football. First of all, you didn’t really use the foot which was very confusing, and secondly it looked like a wussified version of rugby, what with all the padding. Of course, once you see a Joe Montana freight-train roaring down the field it all makes sense.

Enter Fantasy Football and my mind was blown. I have yet to fully comprehend how it works, but believe me when I say that that did by no means hamper the enjoyment of Fantasy over Reality. Daftly written and quick paced, this show introduces us to the crazy world of Fantasy Football and the people obsessed with it.

Ever lost a loved one to Fantasy Football? The story evolves mainly around Cam Tilton and his addiction. Cam has everything going for him, but his life and relationships seem to fall apart whenever Fantasy Football season begins. But in the football-loving dream-girl Sarah Smith he may have found his match. As the season progresses, can he hold on to her… or will she outsmart him?

The only downside to this show is that the producers made their uploads very confusing. Only a handful of the episodes are on YouTube and the only place that seems to have the full show is on Vimeo. Simply click through to it at the end of the above episode.

Now if only I could figure out the strange rules of this game…
