A Fantasy Footballer's Lament: Why Kids' Birthday Parties Belong on Saturdays

Today marks the third or fourth Sunday morning this season when I’ll be fulfilling (wonderful) parental responsibilities at a child’s birthday party.  I say “wonderful” because I love my family.  But I put “wonderful” in parentheses because die-hard fantasy footballers look at the weekly calendar and ask ourselves, “Why not Saturday birthday parties?”  It’s a question that can’t be answered—only lamented.

Since I’ll be largely preoccupied starting at 10:15am, looking to you all to answer each other’s questions today.  Be kind, be thoughtful, and if at all possible, be accurate (no pressure).  I’m actually debating Marquess Wilson and Dontrelle Inman today.  The weather in Chicago has pushed Inman over the top, but I’m interested in your thoughts.  I also have Jarvis Landry, though these days that’s like offering up a turkey dinner and then saying, “I also have zucchini.”

Good luck today.
