I have enjoyed playing fantasy sports for many years - the first year I played any was 2001. I have played pretty much every sport - baseball, hockey, basketball, football, golf, nascar, etc
Yesterday was my fantasy baseball draft. I usually play through Yahoo and CBS Sports, but Yahoo has been cutting back on their fantasy sport offerings, so I have been playing less there and more in other places.
I have actually found that playing fantasy sports is a good way to stay in touch with people, as life takes my friends and I many directions and it is hard to maintain contact sometimes. Also, it give me more reasons to watch and follow sports, which is something I enjoy, but would probably not do as much of if I was not playing.
I usually end up losing money playing fantasy sports, as there are many others who play who are more dedicated and know more than I do. I play for fun and and for the camaraderie with my friends. I also usually pick players from my favorite teams, as it give me more incentive to follow their season and cheer for both my favorite team and fantasy team.
Do you play fantasy sports? Which is your favorite to play?
Take care,
Brian
