Rotoworld has had over 1 billion page views this year. The growth of fantasy sports is amazing.

they have contract info for players that’s readily accessible. Go there, type in the player name, and get the info quickly.
It’s handy.

Anybody like any gins above Bombay Sapphire?

Hendrick’s Gin!

Bombay Sapphire runs about $25/750ml bottle and Hendrick’s is about $33/750ml (at least in NC with stupid ABC stores and State taxes).

Funny to see the 3rd highest sports website is ESPNcricinfo.com. ESPN has a cricket website to appeal to India, which apparently is really into insects.

Yeah, my first year at UT was ’86. Started playing fantasy football and what was then called rotisserie baseball at that time. It wasn’t a big deal back then.

I think that’s a decent guess. Rotoworld is ranked somewhere near 3000 on alexa. TheBigLead is around 19,000

I have enjoyed listening to some sports journalists/pundits/broadcasters (especially those that played the game they cover) do on-air plugs for Fantasy sports sites. You know most of those guys hate that stuff, but now that it’s a gigantic business, they can’t openly crap all over it.

Once they clipped/watermarked Gangnam Style and put it up on YouTube, I’m sure it jumped up a few million.

Just watched a YouTube vid of a dude singing, playing guitar, and playing the bass line with his feet (some sort of pedals thing). I haven’t even perfected rubbing the tummy/patting the head yet.

It is better than when McIntyre attributed comments made by Dirt to me. This happened about two or three years ago over a six month period. I had no idea why he kept getting angry at me. McIntyre still doesn’t respond to phone calls or love letters from me.
