Here are FSB.com, we’re always interested to hear about pro athletes and other celebrities who play fantasy, especially when the person is really into it. Summer Sanders sure seems to qualify there.

TheFootballGirl.com recently ran an interview with the Olympic swimmer turned TV analyst and host in which Sanders revealed that she plays in three fantasy football leagues, including an “all-girls” league for which she serves as commissioner.

Is that three-year-old league competitive?

“Oh gosh, definitely,” Sanders told TFG’s Melissa Jacobs. “When I first started, I’ll admit some of the owners weren’t that active, but they’ve been replaced by a crop of women who are super into it.

“I’ll tell you, my 63 year old mother is in my league and she’s hilarious because she used to pick based on loyalty. She’s from Nebraska and you know how Nebraskans are so passionate about their football? Well, she’d pick players simply because they played there. But she’s become wiser now.”

It’s a fun interview worth reading, including the explanation of how she married both her husband and the Buffalo Bills.

Welcome aboard the fantasy wagon, Ms. Sanders. Glad to have you.
