I am in one league this season in Fantasy Football Pro.

This football season has been less victorious then last year when I was third in the Vindication League over all. I was competing with 2 less teams back then too. I got my start on the Fantasy football craze with the Vindication League 2008.

New To 2009 I have started a few other collective efforts to better understand and thoroughly enjoy Yahoo! Fantasy Sport

s. The idea of fantasy league with dream teams I think is a kind of a mis-nomer in that many people (that have never played Fantasy sports). They think that it means you can pick any players  you want even though other people are sure to pick them too. Le Bron James is a good example of a player who would be on every body’s team, but that is not how fantasy leagues work, only one team can have a single player at a time.

I started one league this season.

I started Jon’s Fantasy Basketball 2009 this year, which is not really a specialty of mine because my history of basketball has been plagued with an in-ability to dribble effectively and a lack of understanding of the game in many areas. Fantasy provides a way to look numerically at the entire league and pull any player you see available and bring them on board your roster (if you deem it necessary to replace an injured player/poor performing player).

My brother in-law really liked the drafting process of Yahoo! Basketball. We actually did two simultaneous applications on the same computer when we started our league this season. Each guy has a minute and a half to pick a player before their time is up and the Flash application goes to the next team in the Que to give them a shot at a player in the league. The first three weeks of Fantasy basketball have yielded these results:

Week 1 Dragons(6) Tennessee All Stars (3)

Week 2 Dragons(4) Jdan Ballers (4)

Week 3 Dragons(7) Cheesheads (2)

I am in one group this season.

I started a Pro Football Pick em group this season too, I kind of like the idea of picking each team that I think will win in the NFL each week in competition with a group of other guys. When you compete many things are fun especially if the scoring is fair and the stats are accurate. Dragons (my team) is in this group with a record of 95-49, and 754 confidence points after week 10 in the season. I earned the following points for the past 10 weeks:

91 71 106 78 78 65 62 70 59 74

Catch you guys later,

Jon
