I can’t speak for you, but it’s amazing the profound affect Daily Fantasy has had on my weekly sports viewing. I’ve been a sports nut my whole life so watching baseball on a nightly basis was going to happen with or without the daily fantasy sports game. The same can’t be said for Thursday golf. I can’t remember the last golf tournament, (especially non-major) that I took time out of my day to check scores on my smartphone and tune in to the Golf Channel to follow the action.

Wilson has tons of experience at the wide receiver spot, so with that the tools and the system he is in, I would expect great things from him this year. Read More

I was pretty pumped to hear that Draftstreet, Daily Joust, and 365 Fantasy Sports have all decided to give college football a chance in daily fantasy.

I really hope to see these sites use some of their marketing dollars to reach out to college football fans because I know for a fact many of them have no clue about daily fantasy, but would crazy about the concept of building teams and playing for some real cash.
