From Offworld: "In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, John Madden--the former NFL Hall of Famer who is the namesake for one of EA's consistently best-selling video games series--admits that he plays Madden NFL but isn't good at it."

Insuring your fantasy football team used to mean grabbing the backups of your stars just in case your starters went down due to injury or criminal activity. FantasySportsInsurance.com takes this to a literal level and actually lets you take out insurance policies on your best fantasy players. The Wall Street Journal recently took a closer look at this business:
“Before the first weekend of the NFL season, the fantasy owner selects the player he wishes to insure — let’s say it’s Peyton Manning of Indianapolis. He then enters his league entry fee ($250)… FSI then determines the cost of the policy based on those numbers… In this case, insuring Mr. Manning for a 15-game fantasy season would cost $29.87 [and] an owner who loses Mr. Manning to injury for 10 of his 15 fantasy games would recoup the entire $265 he spent on his fantasy team from FSI.”
FSI will insure owners with league fees up to $1000. And while I would imagine only the most hard-core fantasy ballers would use a service like this it definitely illustrates how big fantasy sports have become.
