Meet the RandSackers
OK, I may have gone overboard but
without a real-life-let's-wager league, I've opted for the next best thing: A
handful of fantasy football
teams.
I'm going to try Yahoo's (which has always been pretty good), ESPN's (free this year) and the NFL's (also free this year). I'll try and focus on one team (probably the MacNN Yahoo league though it may not be my best team) and touch on the others and also how the three sites handle matters over time.
I decided to join an automatic league for the NFL since I don't want to be up at 5.30 am to make my selections. That team will draft on the eve of the league kickoff (though if I can find a different league that drafts at a time I'm awake on this side of the world, I'll swop)...

ESPN, team 1. Pretty well-balanced. I like the makeup of the team and also the little looks of the webpage (such as the helmets). Still, it's not as easy to figure out the menu as Yahoo's.
Ram-heavy, which I'll need to adjust but not a bad team. Could be good. Yahoo's layout is easy and pleasant.
This is the team I'm liking and will likely follow so we'll call them RandSackers 1.
