FSB Daily 6/1: Greco on Sirius, Fantasy WSOP, Fools and Their Trades
A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.
- Paul Greco of Fantasy Pros 911 announced recently via his Facebook page that he’ll be co-hosting a show from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays on Sirius 125. The show is the third fantasy broadcast to join the satellite channel, which is still listed as “Sports Play-by-Play 1″ on Sirius’ website. RotoWire Fantasy Sports Today and The Football (Soccer) Show are the only programs currently in the lineup. Fanball recently announced a weekday time slot on the channel.
- I have to say, I have never understood the draw to watching the World Series of Poker on ESPN. Now, playing fantasy WSOP — which is apparently becoming pretty big, particularly among the poker pros — that I can get behind.
- About a third of the way down Bill Simmons’ ‘Memorial Day Mega-Mailbag,’ a reader proposes a new fantasy baseball tool that NEEDS to be developed: the April Fool’s trade offer. This long-overdue feature would allow you to send a fake trade offer to that dude who always claims to be trying to help you by taking that slugger off your hands after he went 0-for-3 once. When he tries to accept the offer, a message tells him he’s been had. If MyFantasyLeague.com did baseball, this would already exist.
