Fantasy Football News page is back online

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

The fantasy football news aggregation page is back up after being down for over a day.  There had been some problems on Twitter’s end last week that caused the Twitter feed to be disabled, but everything is running smoothly now.

The top two posts from Fantasy Football Chatter right now are articles from 12-step drop on revised QB rankings with Favre back in the mix, and a great summary from Fantasy Football Fools on Broncos, Bills, Bears and Bowe.

New Site: Fantasy Football Chatter

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Today I’m excited to announce the launch of a new website, Fantasy Football Chatter.  It’s a place to talk about the latest news in fantasy football.

What makes this site unique is that it is easy to follow what’s happening with individual players.  If you want to see what’s new with Brett Favre, you can check out his page here:

Or if you want to browse the news for all Arizona Cardinals, you can easily do that too.

The site encourages voting on individual posts so that the most interesting content bubbles up to the home page.

The site is in it’s early stages and still has room for improvement. Feel free to leave feedback on the about page there.

Fantasy Football Chatter was developed by Fantasy Football Calculator, and it has received help and feedback from some dedicated fantasy football bloggers.  There is a list of contributors on the about page, and I’m thankful for their help.

I post on Fantasy Football Chatter under the name “bernie_kosar,” since I’m a Browns fan.  Now it’s your turn to check it out and see what’s going on in fantasy football.  Create an account and start sharing!

See you there.
