" Probably not. These type of shows are kind of like the Pamela Anderson roast approach to football analysis -- fun to watch regardless of content, just don't plan on applying anything you learned there.

PaulOttCarruth Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Fox Sports Net had one last year that was horrible. I think Erik Kramer and some other ex-player was on it (Warren Moon?). Not sure if they're running it again. I don't understand why these networks think fantasy owners would want to listen to advice of a former player vs. someone who's has made fantasy football their profession.

Tboogs Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Everyone want to get in on the action.... I find them to be quite amusing...."now if you are looking for a sleeper take a look at Trent Green out of KC" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mac Bears Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 giving me their top 10 really helps me out, lol 938976[/snapback] Yeah I was watching Sportcenter the other day and they gave a little top ten thing on there. Amman Green was in their top ten. I'm hoping that all the competition in my leagues are soaking it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These type of shows are kind of like the Pamela Anderson roast approach to football analysis -- fun to watch regardless of content, just don't plan on applying anything you learned there. 938835[/snapback] Probably exactly what you just said. If anyone had a few brains they would do a real show, but doubt if it'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Well, CBS will probably do the guru thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I thought I heard Brown and Bradshaw say something about it during the Pats/Saints game the other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) I'm quite content that most Fantasy Football shows are little more than fluff pieces. It's going to suck when a legitmate Fantasy Football show comes along and actually starts listing true Sleepers. Then the quarter to half of some league managers, who don't put the time in and do their homework, will be able to lay around and press the remote button to know just as much as those of us who do put forth the effort.

Ziachild007 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I think what you have to take in to consideration is there are probably more peolpe who do not have fantasy football as one of their main hobbies but still play with co-workers, family, or local friends for fun, than those of us who consider it a serious hobby. These kind of people are more likely to listen to a former player who they recognize such as Warren Moon, than to the people who do it for a living simply because they do not know who the respected authorities in fantasy circles are. These are more likely the types pf people that these fantasy shows have as their target audience, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
