Fantasy FiOS

|
FiOS ESPN1On Monday I read that Verizon was adding a few new features for FiOS users, and Monday night I learned that Richmond was among the first line of testers. Yippy. So I signed up for the ESPN Fantasy Football widget and can say I'm quite impressed. I haven't been able to watch it during an actual game yet, but it is pretty cool that I can check my leagues scores, get player stats, and see some of the latest info.

As I type this, however, I wonder if it is redundant. Most of the time I'm watching TV with my laptop in my lap (I'm doing it right now). But I also spent some time checking stats in bed last night after my wife went to sleep, so that was useful.


Monday Night Madness

espnFF.jpgWe had our fantasy football draft last night... a 3.5 hour process to kick off a season of trash talking, betting, and attentive football watching. I haven't been into fantasy sports since high school, and things have changed a lot. I used to have a leg up because I knew where to find digital box scores and how to write a few simple equations in excel. Now everything is online from strategy guides to stats that are configured to your league's specific scoring system. My edge is gone... but the Waco Wackos will dominate.

It is an interesting branding exercise though. ESPN's version is sponsored by GMC, and beyond that, there are very few ads. I do, however, keep noticing an add about yellow teeth at the bottom of the screen. First my PS3 tells me I'm fat, and now my laptop is telling me my teeth are yellow. eeehhhhh.
