Fantasy Football- My guiltiest of all pleasures

Right around the beginning of every football season I always start to get the itch, the itch of wanting to know every single possible thing I can about the players in the NFL. I want to know where they grew up, where they played in college, what kind of player they are, what they ate for dinner on November 18, 1997.

For the last three years, I've finished in second place of every league. I don't know what it is, but I always do good enough to finish just a hair behind the winner. Basically, I never lose money, but I don't win anything so I did all that work and I have nothing to show for it- not even an empty bank account.

This year, I aim to change. I aim to be great. If I have to suffer through many hours of watching football, reading articles on football, thinking about football and playing football, then by god I'll do it... I'll take the pain. To show my dedication to the sport, this video shows it well...

Can this product make me a millionaire?

No, but it made me a couple hundred bucks.

So for my part-time job I am a sports equipment salesman and until a few months ago I never thought of it as much of a job... Until now.

Easton hockey has been kind enough to reward anyone who sells a pair of their EQ4 skates.

The reward?

20 bucks cold hard cash for each pair you sell. As of late, I have sold 6 pairs, which, with my poor math skills, comes to around 120 dollars of easy money.

Why has this made my job so much better? It's easy, I want to make more money and when there's a client giving us added incentive it only sweetens the deal. The sell comes easy because I will do anything to make that extra money. Plus, I know everything there is to know about the skates so that's a lesson I can take with me into my schooling.

KNOW YOUR PRODUCT.... It helps you sell anything to ANYONE.
