Fantasy Update

A few years ago my good friend (and then-known-as) Jason "Low Ridin' Muffins" Rollison introduced me to fantasy football, much to my initial disinterest. It didn't take long, but I had come to really enjoy the whole fantasy football thing. I followed the natural progression throughout fantasy sportsdom - moving to fantasy hockey, completely ignoring basketball and ending with fantasy baseball before repeating with football the following year.

I haven't enjoyed a game of "pretend" this much since I was five.

Now, I'm regularly involved in competitive leagues, often with the victor claiming some sort of cash prize. The more leagues I can get in, the more I learn about the game and the more I become addicted. Hell even my girlfriend is heavily involved in the whole fantasy sports thing. (Not to mention she won a fantasy championship in her first-ever effort - six months before I would ever taste a championship.... BAH!).

To get a leg up on all things "fantasy sports", I frequent a website called Rotoworld.com. I find it to be a collection of complete, up-to-date (sometimes up-to-the-minute) and, above all, accurate information relating to athletes. They pool information on athletes from local newspapers, sports channels (Fox, ESPN, local stations) and magazines (they even have their own). This site has rarely - if ever - let me down. So I pretty much live and die by a combination of Rotoworld, Brandon Funston and Matt Romig.

(Kicks self for giving away my best fantasy sources.)

To that end, life without Rotoworld would put a serious dent in my trifecta of fantasy opinion. While Funston and Romig tend to be acceptable sources of fantasy "poop", their updates are weekly at best. This brings me to my purpose for adding the little widgets at the bottom right of my blog. Sometimes, Websense (internet monitoring program) likes to block access to Rotoworld.com because it gets misclassified as "Games", though it offers nothing but information on its' site. This information, albeit, is intended to be used for fantasy sports games but the point I'm trying to make is news is not games (Although Fox seems to make sport out of most news --- and I mean no disrespect to the Daily Show or Colbert Report). So here they are, for those of us who get Websense'd into using my blog as a source of fantasy sports information, I feel your pain. Your cries do not fall upon deaf ears.

Rotoworld and Sex Panther 2.1

Seems like a match to me.
