Last year was the first time I had played fantasy football in a number of years, and I forgot how much I enjoyed it.

There’s something about the numbers, the matchups, the waiver wire, and tweaking lineups that scratches a very specific numbers-oriented part of my brain.

So this year, I’m thinking about putting together a fantasy football league with some clients, friends, and local vendors.

There would be no entry fee. I’ll put up the prizes:

• First place: $100 • Second place: $50 • Third place: $25

Mostly, it’s an excuse to have some fun, talk a little trash, and stay connected throughout the season.

Right now, I’m just seeing who might be interested. If you’d want to play, reply to this email and say, “I’m in.”
