Le’Veon Bell apologizes to fantasy football owners, promises big things

Fantasy football is really serious business for a lot of NFL fans.

Sure, some people take it way too seriously and let it control their lives and emotions for the entire season. Those people need to chill out a little bit.

A lot of owners who drafted Le’Veon Bell early in the first round last year weren’t too happy with the running back, as he opted to sit out the entire year, his last with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bell puts up huge numbers both rushing and receiving, so he’s fantasy gold. But not last year.

Now with the Jets, Bell took some time on Monday to apologize to those who drafted him last year and promised big things from him this year:

Good for Bell for having some fun with it. Jets fans sure are hoping that he can get back to being a stud this season.

Here’s my one fantasy tip for the season – if you get angry and are thinking of tweeting something hurtful about a player who gets injured or just doesn’t put up the numbers you wanted him to… just don’t. That’s a pretty childish thing to do and we should all be better than that.

Other than that, have some fun.
