    DirecTV Launching Fantasy Football Channel
    I could have sworn they had something like this two years ago but got rid of it last year, but my recollections are not what they used to be.

      They had a way to follow each player's stats, but there really wasn't a channel dedicated to it.

      I like fantasy sports, the fact it's easy to filter money in and out, but it seems to be a lot more work involved in it over gambling. And I'm one lazy bastard.

        Actually there is good correlation between being a good fantasy player and a good bettor.

          I think if you're good at fantasy it can help you with gambling.

          Being a good gambler doesn't help you in fantasy, IMO.

            This would be awesome as i hope the ticker now can be just scores and i don't have to read the crap that goes with each game just for these fantasy goofs.

              Yes I agree and that is why I said fantasy first.

                Fantasy football is at its all time peak in popularity. Wonder if it will die down like poker did

                  There's already a Sirius XM fantasy channel. Round the clock football though will be tough

                    Gambling much easier

                    The giant hit the nail on the

                    Of course much more fantasy players in sports though

                    It's why these places do fairly well

                      It will. May take a little longer though since NFL is peak right now and don't see it dying down anytime soon.

                      I'll give it about 20 years.

                              I weigh less than that and have a wife and kids. And I will most likely be watching.

                                Daily fantasy games are basically legalized gambling. I started playing fantasy sports about 20 years ago. It's not going anywhere anytime soon.

                                  Fantasy games are for the wanna-be's in life.

                                      rake too high and much more work than sports betting

                                      well it was good to get in on ground level

                                      if you want in now you better think of a new way

                                      but better idea is just to invent something else in life
