I played "fantasy" baseball in the 80's pre Internet when it was called Rotisserie baseball after the book . You watched late night sport center to see what your players did. Then you went to the newsstand and bought the final edition of the Post in the morning as it would have the west coast box scores in it too.
The weekly results/stats were faxed to the league prez who then mailed them to you, faxes were still rare and expensive then. It was a blast! Of course we here in DC had no home team then so no problem......
I played fantasy football in 2009 for one year only and never again. It's a different ball game when you have a home team and a fantasy team to route for. I drove myself a little nuts but did win the league. It was only a six team league of co workers but I was loaded! Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, DeSean Jackson, Vernon Davis and Antonio Gates! Favre and Schaub as QB.
This new one week model of fantasy they now promote is a big money maker and much more like straight gambling than the before with skill now making less of a difference. As it "gratifies" every week potentially it will take over as the number one style of "fantasy",probably already has.
Now that I have a home baseball and football team no more "fantasy".
