Fantasy Football, Not Just For Fun

For the last four years or so, I have played fantasy football with some good friends of mine back home in Wisconsin. It is always a fun time, although my team is usually just average, and I have also missed the last two drafts because of school. Anyone who plays fantasy sports knows that the drafts are half the fun. Most years I only play in one league a season so I do not get too obsessed with it, but this semester I am required to be in a league for one of my classes. That's right, I am actually running a fantasy football team for a class project! Of course, it is much more than that; we are basically building an entire franchise (logo, stadium, game revenue, economic impact analysis, etc.) around our team and then "selling" it to an investor at the end of the season/semester. Now comes the shameless plug. The team a friend and I are running is called the St. Louis Spirit, and in order to make it more realistic and hopefully gain an advantage over the other franchises when it comes time to sell, I have set up a twitter and Google site for it. Twitter is here, the website here. Check 'em out, follow us if you like (I certainly don't expect you to turn device updates on for a fictional team), and enjoy the football season! Go Pack! Go Favre!
