Who Was Funniest Fantasy Writer in 2008?
All fantasy writers try to impart knowledge to their readers (or else they need to find something else to write about). Nearly as many, though, also try to make people laugh.
This is probably harder to do most of the time than fantasy analysis is. After all, the numbers are out there for anyone to look at and manipulate.
How important is it to be funny? Well, of the six humor trophies awarded in the four previous years of the FSWA honors (seperate awards were given in football and baseball in 2006 and 2006), Matthew Berry is the only repeat winner. Last I checked, he’s doing pretty well.
This year will provide a first-time champ of joviality, as Jeremy Fischer of Fantasy Football Trader, Lenny Pappano of Draft Sharks and Geoff Stein of Mock Draft Central vie for the award.
The FSWA prizes will be handed out next Tuesday, on the first day of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association’s winter business conference.
