August and September are shaping up to be busy months as we get ready to kick off the 2021 season. Below is a list of some important dates and information you should know. Be sure to mark your calendars because, unlike with my children, I won't be reminding you over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again
August 1st - 31st: Admit You're Happy Month
The dregs of playing fantasy football among this group of nefarious miscreants can really take a toll on one's mental health. If you feel yourself slipping into a state of deep depression as a result of this league, August's Admit You're Happy Month is a great opportunity for you to shove those feelings deep down inside and just act like nothing is wrong. (Note: Kidding aside, mental health is important. If you, or anyone you know, feel like you need help, please speak up. Talk to someone. Ask for help. I'm always here, without judgement, ready to listen. Seriously.)
Thursday, August 19th: National Potato Day
Regardless of whether you spell it with an "e" or not, there's no debate that this spectacular spud deserves it's own day of recognition. Yes, National Potato Day gives us the chance to appreciate all of the wondrous things taters have to offer.
Wednesday, August 25th: Keepers Lock
Any and all keeper selections must be made by 11:00 PM PDT. If you didn't already drop every single player on your roster when you assumed control of your team, you still have time to consider whether you'll keep the Cowboys D/ST or Cleveland D/ST.
Sunday, August 29th: Sagebrush Cactus League Draft
Time to dust off those old AOL CDs and fire up that Commodore SX-64 so you can get online by 5:00 PM PDT and snag Derek Carrier before someone else does. If you're not able to get that entire AOL security key entered and online by the time the draft begins, worry not! ESPN's Auto-draft feature will take care of you and make sure you end up with 8 WRs, 3 D/STs, 4 Ks, and $1 to spare.
Wednesday, September 1st: Bring Your Manners To Work Day
I'm sure that Brenda in accounting probably deserves all of the grief you give her on a daily basis. But you can be nice for this one day out of the year, right? Just go put her egg salad sandwich back in the break room fridge before she knows it's gone and you'll be well on your way to observing this cherished holiday.
Tuesday, September 7th: Defeat The Commish Rosters Due
If you're going to defeat me, you'll need to make sure you get your final roster submitted by 5:00 PM PDT. Once you're done combing through every fantasy analysis site on the Googlewebs, head on over and submit your roster. As I mentioned before, I'll post all of the rosters I have received on Wednesday, September 1st and you'll have one chance to make edits to your roster, if you wish.
Thursday, September 9th: NFL Season Begins
Here we go! The NFL season kicks off with Dallas at Tampa Bay at 5:20 PM MST. There's no turning back now.
Sunday, September 19th: Talk Like A Pirate Day
Aaaaaarrrrrgh, ye wee land lubbers! It be time to quit crackin' Jenny's tea cup and git to managin' yer - OK, this is just ridiculous. Who thinks of this crap? It turns out that if talking like a pirate is your jam, you apparently have an entire day to showcase your craft. That's cool, no judgement. I just don't want to know about any of your other bizarre hobbies or I'll have you dancin' the hempen jig.
Good luck this season!
