I'm on board about the biz opportunity because it's such an engaged, passionate audience with a high willingness to pay for online content. Almost a desire to pay. Though the market is mature, I see opportunity in the research area, as well, and possibly in a different angle on the games. <br><br>I love your mention of game theory. Actually pitched an online strategy game that was premised on game theory with a friend, but was always more intrigued with its application as a fantasy sports decision tool to help get the edge on the competition. If done well, would someone pay for it - I have no doubt. Your other points are well taken, its social, its engaging, and the demand is high. Fantasy sports is a great play for a linear content provider because they can move viewers from the TV to online to mobile draw more viewers through viral interest and generate revenue not suceptible to advertising risk.

I think there are a few predicitors that get left out....not sure how to monetize those, but love to talk about it sometime. Good luck w/ the season. Watch for Pierre Thomas as a sleeper ;).
