- Fantasy sports news outlet FantasyAlarm.com announced it has acquired Fighting Chance Fantasy, a content outlet. The two will be merged into a single brand under the Fantasy Alarm banner.

- This gaming writer opines that fantasy sports should be considered gaming. One question: Does it really matter? Do those of you who operate fantasy games consider it “gaming”?

- Sara Holladay, better known as the FF Librarian, will be back in the Buffalo Wild Wings Fantasy Football League, competing against the 11 other bloggers and/or fantasy folks revealed in this press release. Holladay won a trip to the Super Bowl for her 2009 title.
