Today I picked up on this article by Matt Waldman discussing the pros of using twitter for an edge in fantasy football. My twitter feed is currently a muddled mix of fantasy goodness — and glad for a few tips on how to make the experience better. My key takeaways were that I should

• use more lists;
• use a better client; and
• use the facacta search button

I am also aiming to improve my engagements with the people I interact with on twitter. There is a great podcast out there by Matt Harmon called Backyard Banter, and it is all about how fantasy football analysts gained their foothold in the industry. Often, guests offer the advice to start a blog — and that is why I am here.

Just don’t expect any insightful analysis — I will leave that to the experts.

I have been playing Fantasy Football for 15 years. Started playing with a bunch of fraternity brothers in college — most of whom I am still in leagues with today. I enjoy the game but love the bragging rights amongst my friends.

This year, I discovered “fantasy football twitter” in an effort to gain an edge on my competition. It amazes me how much knowledge of the industry is on twitter — thorough and deep analysis of players, strategies, and etc. It is a utopia and I am glad to have stumbled across it.

I am going to use this blog to post what I learn, harrowing stories of domination and defeat, or any overall non-sense. Look forward to seeing what comes of it.
