What? 20 views and no comments? I heard about this on Mike & Mike on ESPN radio this AM. Apparently it was done through Lucasfilm and with the original actors playing Darth Vader and Chewbacca. What a hoot!

That's awesome! Can't wait to send this to the guys at work (they're all FF fanatics).

Don’t know anything about football, so, I really don’t get it.

To explain a few points about Fantasy Football: You hold a draft of NFL players. The draft is typically 16 rounds. Each week you select 8 players to score points for your team, typically a QB, 2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 TE, 1 Kicker, and 1 Defense. (Different leagues may vary on the details.)
Players score points based on certain criteria, often points scored in NFL games and sometimes yards gained. Depending upon the scoring system, QB and RB and WR tend to far outvalue the other positions. Part of what makes it funny is that kickers (and defenses) in FF are considered to be mostly interchangible and not having much value. Kickers (and defenses) are usually grabbed near the end of the draft.
So here's Darth Vader picking a kicker in the 2nd round. And everyone laughs at him.
Does that help?
