You can have your fantasy experts with their opinions and numbers. Give me a man with a clear direction and the ability to hold his liquor. This week we have John Sarmento aka RumfordJohnny of the world-renowned 2 Mugs fantasy site. He's not afraid to drop the occasional f-bomb, m-bomb, or q-bomb (he's that rangy). That's not the point. The point is he brings the fantasy knowledge in his own unique, from-the-hip and occasionally profane manner.

All fantasy writers name-dropped will get a link to their Twitter feed. We'll keep with the theme of my questions/comments in Titan blue and John's in black.

How did you get into fantasy football?

Got into fantasy football in the 90's (yes I'm old). Work league, on a flip chart, guys basement, bad beer. You get the picture.

What's the story behind 2 Mugs, the site and the podcast (coming soon: the breakfast cereal)?

2mugsff.com was born when Ryan Forbes and I met while writing for another fantasy football site. We thought the other site's direction wasn't where we wanted to go, so we opted to start our own site. The podcast was a natural progression. No cereal in the works. Beer on cereal isn't bad though. Best on Apple Jacks.

Who came up with the idea for the beer draft? I think I might leave my fantasy leagues to pursue beer leagues full-time.

Beer Draft was all Forbes' idea. He owns the all the residual rights to "Beer Draft" the Musical.

Where's your tattoo of Brady's face? Tell me about being a Pats fan before they were "cool".

No Brady tatts, not even a Pats logo. Just drunken regret tatts.

What can you tell me about your tiny yet fierce home state of Rhode Island?

Rhode Island is awesome, and the only thing bigger than our state pride is our state taxes. Fuck.

Tell me about your day job.

I work with adults with Autism. Can't say any more than that. H.I.P.P.A.

Do you have long-term goals with your fantasy football writing?

I hope to write a little more than just the answers to this interview...just a little.

How do you deal, as an in-demand fantasy expert, with all the league requests? Do you have a limit on leagues?

In years past, up to 15 leagues. Now that I have a mortgage? Six leagues max. I turn down offers daily. Some for fantasy leagues, some to dip myself in chocolate and rent myself out for parties...sorry @FantasyTaz!

Football or sex: which do you think of more?

I like sex in football equipment. A neck roll is pretty versatile.

Tell a story about a fantasy regret. Bad trade, bad draft pick, move you thought about making but did not, something on that realm.

Kevin Jones. Kevin Jones. Kevin Jones.

Tell a story about a fantasy win. Great trade that worked out.

Kevin Jones...that one year.

Where are you on the usual football Sunday? I assume there's a man cave. And I have to know if you have a designated first beer for the opening Pats game.

Pats gear, Red Zone Channel, scented candles. Guinness usually, because it has vitamins and fart producing properties.

Tell me about a hobby/interest outside of football.

Play the drums, I sketch a little. Mostly I like to do interviews via email attachments for shits and giggles.

Which fantasy writers are on your must-read list?

Chris Wesseling from Rotoworld.com, Chet Gresham & Mark St. Amant from Razzball.com, that Forbes kid from 2Mugsff.com, and IDPWithBee for all of my IDP needs. Basically anyone who didn't have to suck off a horse to get a network gig.

Better fantasy experience: Long-term league with friends or fantasy "expert" league?

Best league experience? Still seeking it, my man.

Tell me about any plugs that you'd like. Podcasts, sites that you write for, expert leagues, anything.

2mugsff.com, and 2mugs fantasy football podcast on Itunes.

Thanks to John, or Rummy, for answering my questions, sort of. Follow him on Twitter.
