Why you didn't win your fantasy football championship

* Waited too long to draft a quarterback (you were too busy loading up on #2 running backs)
* Drafted a quarterback too soon (why aren't you loading up on #2 running backs?)
* Lost a key game the one week you would have beat everyone else but your opponent
* Lost a key game the one week your opponent would have lost to everyone else but you
* Didn't make enough trades (you foolishly thought your team was solid when it was actually quite mediocre)
* Made too many trades (you foolishly thought your team was mediocre when it was actually quite solid)
* Didn't trust your gut about that one rookie and he turned into a 12-points-a-week superstar (who knew)
* Trusted your guy about that one rookie and he turned into a 0-points-a-week bust (who knew)
* Put too much emphasis on getting a good defense (defense wins championships)
* Didn't put nearly enough emphasis on getting a good defense (good defenses are a dime a dozen)
* Drank too much at the draft and made stupid, risky decisions (next year: Coke on ice)
* Didn't drink enough at the draft and made too-safe, conservative decisions (next year: whiskey in a flask)
* Put too much faith in the weekly fantasy website rankings (they're the experts)
* Put too little faith in the weekly fantasy website rankings (what the hell do they know?)
* Did way too much research before the draft and over-thought every move (look at my three-ring binder)
* Did too little research before the draft and used uneducated guesswork to make every move (look at my brand-new unopened fantasy magazine and my Sharpie pen)
