Fantasy sports are a growing industry, fueled by the passion of sports fanatics from around the globe. Each fantasy sport web site has its own draw and unique advantages. According to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, the United States is home to over 27 million fantasy sports players. As fantasy sports communities become more popular new fantasy web sites, applications, drafting tools, social networks, podcasts and forums are popping up all over the Internet and the competition to create the ultimate fantasy sports experience is fierce. But why not? Just like in real sports, in fantasy sports winning matters!

Fantasy Football: The #1 Fantasy Sport

Fantasy football is by far the most popular fantasy sport online. In a report from EA Sports titled “Fantasy Football Myths Debunked” by EA Expert Keith Ruston, “It’s estimated 15-20 million people play fantasy football. Fantasy football is not just for nerds it’s for successful professionals, intelligent strategists and sports diehards. So, what are some of the most recent developments in fantasy football? Let’s take a look!

Stinkball.com: A New Twist on Fantasy Football

Stinkball.com offers fantasy football enthusiasts a different take on fantasy football contests. According to the contest rules in order to win you must pick players you believe will have the worst performances this season.

ESPN.com’s 2009 Facelift: Fantasy Football for the Individual

By now you have probably seen the recently redesigned ESPN.com. If not, go check it out. The web site navigation has been simplified and fantasy sports options have greatly expanded.  According to the January 9, 2009 article “The New ESPN.com: Is It All Fantasy?” by Jacob on FantasyFootballFools.com, “ESPN is trying to make it easier for visitors to get to what they need, want and crave from their sports coverage…I think ESPN is gunning to become more of a tool and direct resource for fantasy sports fans.” ESPN.com also offers a host of personalized features as part of the myESPN account. Site visitors’ preferences and settings will now follow them as they surf the site.  All in all, the new version of ESPN.com creates an easier and more satisfying experience for fantasy football players.

Fantasy Football Joins Forces with Facebook.com

Since the fall of 2008 fantasy football and Facebook have been in bed together. Facebook has achieved unprecedented success over the last year and is smart enough to know the value of getting in on a lucrative market like fantasy sports. So, now you can hang with your friends online and get your fantasy football game on too. Uniting the power of Facebook applications with fantasy football (and other fantasy sports) allows fantasy sports companies to identify where sports fanatics are gathered and bring the games to them. In a Washington Times article published on September 9, 2008, written by Tim Lemke, titled “Need a fantasy football fix? Facebook may be the new place to get it,” Mike Kerns, founder and CEO of Citizen Sports, states, “What we found, in our opinion, is that more and more people are going to [fewer] sites. The companies in the next generation that will stand to benefit are those that direct their information to where most people spend their time.”

In addition to a variety of new Facebook applications, Facebook.com is also joining forces with LeagueFinder to create a Facebook application to help fantasy football players find the perfect league. According to the article “Fantasy Sports Finds a Matchmaker” written by Wall Street Journal reporter Nando Di Fino on March 26, 2009, “Anyone with a Facebook account can access LeagueFinder. After revealing as much or as little as you’d like about the kind of league you want to join, and your matches appear immediately. LeagueFinder allows a fantasy player to choose difficulty level, league size, the entry fee and several other sorting characteristics.”

So, these are just a few of the changes in fantasy football that may affect you as the 2009 season begins. Always explore the new features and tools fantasy sports web sites of all kinds are offering. The majority have been created to enhance the fantasy player’s experience and to continue evolving fantasy games to the next level. Look to the future and you will catch a glimpse of what fantasy football can be.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 3, 2008

Seattle Seahawks tickets go on sale this week as the NFL’s jewel of the Pacific Northwest embarks on its 33rd season. Sporting the NFL’s second longest playoff appearance streak (2003- 2007) the Seahawks are aiming to get back to their form of the 2005 season when they represented the NFC playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers in SuperBowl XL. Winning the SuperBowl this year would be a fitting tribute to the Seahawks coach, Mike Holmgren, who is in his final year of coaching the club.

With additions like former Dallas Cowboy running back Julius Jones, and Atlanta Falcon’s T.J. Duckett, the Seattle Seahawks have bolstered their offence with two solid running backs to complement one of the best defences in the league led by the Seahawk’s all-pro linebacker Lofa Tatupu.

You won’t want to miss your chance to be the famed “12th man” cheering with the throngs at Qwest Field – the NFL’s loudest stadium! Whether you’re sitting on the

50-yard line or up in the ‘HawksNest’ you can be a part of the game while you enjoy the grandeur of the Seattle skyline and surrounding mountains that serve as the backdrop to picturesque Qwest Field.

It’s sure to be an intensely competitive season ahead with visits from the new and improved St. Louis Rams, San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals all leading up to a sure fire playoff teaser with the New England Patriots coming to Qwest Field on December 7.

So whether it’s the experience of attending a game at Qwest Field, cheering on the Seattle Seahawks to a 6th consecutive appearance in the playoffs, or to see visiting stars like Tom Brady, be sure to get your tickets soon, as the games are sure to sell-out quickly.

The pre-season begins on Saturday, August 16th with the Chicago Bears coming to play the Seattle Seahawks in a re-match their 2006 play-off match up. The home opener is on September 14th as the San Francisco 49ers make their way up the coast to take on the Seahawks.
