    Get The Total Fantasy Football Experience

    Hist_paul_brown
    I’m a fantasy football junkie. I can’t help it. The NFL is the penultimate fantasy sports
    event for me, and this year I’ve found myself in no less than five fantasy
    football leagues (in addition to my fantasy Barclays Premiership league, my
    fantasy NASCAR league, and the tail end of my fantasy baseball league).  To say I’m a huge fan of fantasy sports in
    general is an understatement.

    I’ve played fantasy football with the same core group of
    guys for four years or so now (at least in my main league), and we’ve recently
    made the transition to a keeper league. Of course, since we’ve been using the free and mediocre Yahoo Fantasy
    Sports, we had to depend on the good fortune of our commissioner to not only
    find our old league in Yahoo’s database but also to remember who everyone
    wanted to keep for our keeper league (we keep up to two people in exchange for
    first or second round draft picks).

    Now, Yahoo is fine for a casual group with nothing on the line
    save pride (though the Fox Sports fantasy football league is much better as it
    provided free real-time stats and scoring, but nobody listens to me when I make
    recommendations). But if you want to get
    involved in a money league, or take your fantasy league to the next level, I
    couldn’t possibly recommend anything other than RealTime Fantasy Sports fantasy football. It’s one of the best fantasy management
    systems out there.

    Every fantasy league runs into problems, and RealTime Sports
    solves them all. Commissioner approved
    trades prevents the, uh, dumber players from being fleeced by the smarter
    players. Blind bidding for free agents, wavier
    wire pick-ups, contracts, decimal point live scoring, online drafts, live chat
    rooms, drafting of individual defensive players, and the key… the ability to
    set all the rules yourself. No mandatory
    scoring, no two choices, nothing but complete control over your league with the
    ability to change scoring and rules on the fly.

    That’s the whole point of fantasy sports. You get to play GM, commissioner, owner,
    coach, scout, and draftnic. Your brain
    (and the performance of your virtual team) dictates your performance as you
    compete against friends and strangers. You
    can run things your way and nobody can stop you.
