Maclin Firing shots at Fantasy Football owners.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...r-fantasy-team

Jeremy Maclin is on a warpath, and he's coming for the heads of selfish roto-nerds everywhere.

The morning after he caught another preseason touchdown for the Chiefs, Maclin took to Twitter to take issue with a large sect of football fans: fantasy owners.

Play NFL Fantasy Football!

"It amazes me how 'Fantasy Football' is the only football that some of you know," Maclin said. "It's sad. News flash for yall (sic): I don't give a damn about ur (sic) "Fantasy" football team. #ChiefsKingdom"

It's not clear what set the Chiefs wide receiver off, but it has ignited fevered responses from fantasy experts and fans from around the world wide web.

After ESPN's Matthew Berry tweeted at Maclin that he shouldn't "insult fans who drive ratings and revenue", Maclin responded, "Football is about what a team achieves. You taking it way too far talking about my salary."

He also retorted with a haymaker of reason, "I'm not insulting anybody who roots for players. I'm frown (sic) upon those who will sacrifice a team victory for a fantasy victory."

As with all Twitter beefs, both parties have a point. Maclin doesn't like how Chiefs fans will be more upset with losing a fantasy matchup because of Maclin's performance than with the Chiefs losing; that's a brand loyalty issue that Kansas City's new acquisition would clearly have trouble with.

On the other hand, Berry, like most fantasy experts around the internet, isn't wrong when he implies that fantasy owners are often some of the most invested in the league and make up a massive percentage of eyeballs on any given Sunday. Not that insulting fantasy owners would deter them to not select Maclin in their draft, especially when he's the only Chiefs wide receiver that actually scores touchdowns.

Thankfully, football fans don't have to choose between rooting exclusively for their favorite team or for individual fantasy players. They can do both, as long as they don't take either too seriously so as to wish ill will against players.

If you want to stick it to Maclin, sign up for fantasy here. If you agree with the Chiefs wideout... well, sign up anyway.

My hatred of fantasy football is primarily driven by the way that many hardcore fantasy types watch games. I have (Bronco fan) family members who, during Chiefs-Broncos games - will constantly talk about how well an individual Chiefs player is doing (positively) and checking their phones for fantasy updates and barely pay attention to the actual game itself. It's obnoxious.

While I agree it's possible to disassociate fantasy from reality football, many don't and make others around them hate them.

That's dumb and unnecessary. Exactly what I was talking about with regards to separating fan loyalty and fantasy football. You're just hindering your own chances...

I don't do any fantasy updates during Chiefs games. Even when the Chiefs aren't on ... I only do fantasy updates after the noon games and then after the 3 PM games. I hate when my friends update me on fantasy scores (H2H) during games ... huge pet peeve.

I'm sure part of it is the constant tweeting to him:

"What do you think of my draft dude?"

"Hey bro, how many yards you think you'll put up?"

"JMAC, how many TDs you got this year my man!"

Meh. There's idiots present in every form of entertainment, and how they consume their entertainment is their business. Why are you watching them check their phones and stuff instead of actually watching the game yourself?

Have to agree with Fish and Hootie. It's not hard to separate the two.

I'd draft Peyton ****ing Manning if I thought it would help me win a league. I'd also be rooting for a career-ending injury anytime he plays the Chiefs.

I'm a football fan, though. I have no problem separating fantasy from the actual sport. That's a big part of the reason I'd say a guy like Russell Wilson is on the same level as Andrew Luck. Gaudy stats are for n00bs.

Because they're sitting beside me and talking about it during the game. Brother in law and his two sons.

I had a friend last year that texted me sometime around week 4, 5, 6 (I'm guessing it was around the time we slaughtered them) saying Gronk sucked because he wasn't putting up enough fantasy points.

What a ****ing dumbass. I considered ending our friendship on the spot.

READ - "I'm going to have 800 yards and 5 TD's in this offense, but that doesn't mean I suck." /JMac, probably

I also have given up on fantasy football. Used to be I would have literally 8-10 teams going on every game day, and I would be glued to the computer/phone checking updates. Way too much work, way too stressful. Now I just sit back and enjoy the games without freaking out over who scored what and when. It's kind of nice.

I play in two fantasy football leagues

One is a bar league 10 bucks

One is a bigger money league 150 entry plus fees for transactions.


I set their lineups and let them play I treat both leagues the same and never worry about either.

Chiefs games are more important.


Some of you ****ers confuse fantasy with real ****ing life.

You can't leave a team and call it a business then complain when people are hustling your ass for fantasy football money.
