The most ridiculous/awesome sports story of the year has been the fantasy football beef between two MLB players – Joc Pederson and Tommy Pham – that led to Pham being suspended three games for slapping Pederson.
That’s seriously a thing that happened, which is amazing.
Pham even took it to another level this week when he said that Mike Trout was “the worst commissioner in fantasy sports” for allowing what happened in their league to happen.
I mean, what a world we are living in!
On Friday I had the chance to talk with Rams star WR Cooper Kupp, who is also a fantasy football God, for USA Today Sports’ weekly show Sports Seriously and I had to ask him what he thought of this whole ridiculous/awesome story.
Here’s that conversation:
Cooper Kupp weighs in on the fantasy football beef.
"I certainly can't relate to that but I'm sure there's actually an embarrassingly large number of people that actually do relate to that, people get passionate about their fantasy football." pic.twitter.com/mqftfxAnpI

That’s well said by the reigning Super Bowl MVP..
And calm down, fantasy football players. Especially if you’re a MLB player. It’s just fantasy football!
