The Playoffs
Where Legends are Forged

"Thank you... fantasy football draft, for letting me know that even in my fantasies, I am bad at sports."

"I think (fantasy football) has become something that needs to be looked at in terms of regulation. Effectively, it's day trading without any regulation at all. When you have insider information, which has apparently been the case, when you have people who use that information, use big data to try and take advantage of it, there has to be some regulation. If they can't regulate themselves, then the NFL needs to look at moving away from them a little bit, and there should be some regulation.."
— Jeb Bush

"Fantasy football is actually an amazing American pastime, because it takes the ultimate team sport, NFL and football, and turns it into the quest for individual achievement."
— Jeff Schaffer
