I agree that being an active fantasy sports player makes you smarter and more engaged - it pays to know what's going on in the league if you wan to win. Let me know when you relaunch your page and I'll check it out. I'm 7-4 and on track for the playoffs, barring any major injuries.

I couldn't have agreed more. Fantasy football is 100% a social experience. It's about the discussions, the trash talking, analysis, and interaction with your friends. It's long been a social phenomenon without the the right social network. Fantasy sports is making sports fans smarter and louder than ever, yet they still exist as a faceless and homeless online community. My partners and I are hard at work trying to fill that void with our project: Fantasysportsmatrix.com. In the near future, we will be releasing a revamped front page and user avatars. With that said, how are your fantasy football teams doing this year? =) Great post Charles. I couldn't have agreed more. Fantasy football is 100% a social experience.
