And if your team loses, remember: you can always blame the sofa for not providing enough defensive coverage. Sniper punchline 1: If football had a sniper, he’d shoot the punchline just before the whistle. Sniper punchline 2: My fantasy team is so dramatic, it needs a halftime show for its own emotional support.
