As my wife's birthday approaches, I find myself grappling with the same predicament every year: Should I take her out to dinner or watch the football game? While I hold deep affection for my wife, her birthday consistently coincides with the Thursday night game that kicks off the season. This recurring situation leaves me with three tough choices to consider every single year.

1. Opt to stay at home and watch the game. Although ordering pizza might be the most tempting choice, it's likely the best one.

2. Choose to take her out for a delightful dinner at Chili's, and kindly request a booth with a view of the television.

3. Opt for a more upscale dining experience while ensuring that I remain discreetly connected to my phone.

That is just my decision for dinner. The hardest part is deciding what to get her,

1. Safe gift -flowers, chocolates, and a gift card.

2. Boom or bust gift- a treadmill or a vacuum. She might love it, or she might be offended.

3. The biggest upside- gift a purse, shoes, that “special someone” outfit from Elf.

As my wife's special day approaches, I realize I should dedicate time to planning something memorable. Yet, here I am crafting a fantasy football draft guide—equally significant in its own right.

 

Below, you'll discover my 10-round fantasy football guide. I present three options in each round: The Safest pick, Boom/Bust, and the Highest Upside. While my focus should shift towards organizing a celebration for my wife, my current attention is drawn to this football guide—a testament to the intriguing clash of priorities in life.
