How do you keep the spirit of being a commissioner alive?
As you all know, it’s a thankless job. Hard to get new rules passed even though you have done the research, burnout from doing it forever, never winning due to commissioner’s curse, and a myriad of other reasons.
I’m in a 15-year league with a many of my best friends, but I know the league would disband if I didn’t commission it. But that shouldn’t be the only reason I’m doing it, and that’s where I feel like I’m at.
I find myself having a lot less fun playing fantasy football, caring less about making the league better, compiling my league’s stats, dreading getting everything ready for our draft, etc. I pride myself on putting out a great product, but my drive is waning. The NFL wanting to increase the season doesn’t make me anymore excited either.
How do you commissioners keep your fire burning?
