Starting in 1997, I played an increasing number of different fantasy sports games on the ESPN web site. I actually won a baseball and a basketball league in 2001. I decided in August of last year that I was spending too much time on too many different games and too many teams in each game and quit cold turkey.

Over the last year, I found that I enjoy the football and basketball season a lot more if I have a group of players that I am following so I decided to put my toe back in the water. I participated in a live draft for a NFL fantasy team, Sacto Rare White Tigers, on Monday.
