Thread: ESPN Fantasy games

Not talking about the big ones, but the games like:
Streak for the Cash
Stock Car Challenge
Baseball Challenge
College Football Pick'em
College Football Showdown
Premier Fantasy
and so on..

Does anyone play these? Just curious as been signing up for all the new college ones, and thinking it would be interesting to have a group for the folks around here that also play. It would really have much to win other then to brag (unless you are near the top overall in the game, not group). But being interesting just to see who is better at picking sports, or college games, baseball players, and so forth =P

The college football challenge is interesting, you pick players (I forget how many, but I think it was like 2 QBs, 2 RB, 2-3 WR, a TE, a team kickers, and team defense) each week and get points for how they do. No salary cap on it.

Streak is just a pain in the ass, fun but you usually go in with such false hope of ever winning it xD.

Not sure about that one, they changed it this year it seems though (you can pick a player every game of the season if you want). Right now I've got an all-conference, Big 10, and Pac-12 entry set-up.

The Premier League fantasy should be fun as well, even if you know nothing about the EPL (and use it as an excuse to watch EPL games =P)
