FSB Daily 8/21: Sprint, HollyStock, MWR Fantasy Sports

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.

- Sprint users can download the free Sprint Football Live app for their smart phones, which includes fantasy team management capabilities.

- HollyStock is the latest new game to apply a fantasy-type model to the world of celebrity gossip. Although the concept might first come across as stock market style, making or losing money based on the whims of other players, the system actually purports to track 200 celebrity news sites daily to tabulate each subject’s actual fantasy-celebrity value.

- It’s a good time to be (or own) Chris Johnson, whether your sport is football or baseball.

- If you think it’s tough to choose between running backs at the top of your fantasy football draft, imagine a league that combines all four “major” American sports and throws into the mix LeBron James, Albert Pujols and whoever the heck plays hockey these days.

- Current and former members of the U.S. Armed Services are eligible to play free fantasy football against their brethren via MWRfantasysports.com, a partnership with RapidDraft.
