Last month, I boldly wrote that Fantasy Ethos would churn put 65 posts in the month of March. Like most people's March Madness bracket, that plan went terribly astray. But, by no means, do I consider it a failure. Fantasy Ethos published a total of 36 articles in March, which is still nothing to laugh at, as it was 100% increase in production over the previous three months. In addition, traffic was up 90% compared to the previous month, and a 12% improvement over the previous three months. The biggest difference in terms of traffic was ... Read More

Fantasyland, the book, is by far one of the best books I have ever read about fantasy sports. It captures the spirit, the history, and the fun of fantasy baseball. Fantasyland the movie showcases the obsessiveness of one player that cannot help but make you cringe. The movie follows an average guy Jed Latkin as he competes in the 2008 AL Tout Wars and will stop at almost nothing to make his fantasy baseball team a better team. Latkin has an enthuasism for fantasy baseball that may just be unmatched. While a certain amount of this ... Read More

Last night, I sat through one of the longest fantasy baseball drafts of my life. 18 teams, 26 players per team, 468 players later, I am still feeling pretty numb. I am fairly certain that two retired players were drafted. There might even be one dead guy selected. I'm not sure; it is all just a blur. I'm pretty sure I got splinters from scraping the bottom of the barrel. At this point, I am just thanking my lucky stars that it was not an auction draft, which easily would have doubled the time. One guy ... Read More

Picklive just announced the closing of a seed round of funding from investors, including from Last.FM backer Stefan Glaenzer. Picklive is a London based start-up that is offering a mix between the nanogaming that LiveHiveSystems is offering and the daily fantasy games you can find at places like SnapDraft. I like Picklive's take on creating a real-time fantasy sports game. Instead of predicting the outcome of every pitch or play, in Picklive's system you compete against other players where each player selects three players, and teams score fantasy points according to their threesome's performance in that ...

The Sprint Cup. The Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Stanley Cup. And now, the SABR Trophy. Well, maybe that was a little bit more melodramatic than it should have been, but you get my point. There is something special about a competition when you are a competing for a trophy that is almost as synonymous as the sport you compete in. Tout Wars announced a partnership with the Society of American Baseball Researchers in which the annual trophy that the Tout compete for will now be known as the SABR Trophy. The first receipts of ... Read More

StatSheet's founder Robbie Allen announced that he is working on the development of automated sports content at StatSheet. He plans to publish all of this information in the form of blogs. This is definitely one of those ideas that is hard to swallow at first, but not completely crazy. Of course, if someone said that 20 years ago that hundreds of millions of people would engage in not stop writing online in the form of email, status updates, twittering, and blogging, most people would have laughed at you. But that is the world we live now. ... Read More
