"I'd like to apologize to all the fantasy football players out there. Sorry for taking the knee."
-- Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew.

Can you believe this?
Mark Sanchez called the play for which MJD is apologizing "An MVP Play"
Was his apology in jest?
I don't think so.

It just goes to show how big fantasy football is now. Players have to apologize if they do something which results in a higher likelihood of victory for the team, but diminishes their fantasy result.

BTW if you missed it, he had the opening to go into the end zone with a minute plus left. Instead he got to the one yard line and took a knee. His team wound down the clock, and kicked the winning field goal with no time left.

... And no, I didn't have him on my fantasy team
... and my fantasy team lost anyways.
