Fantasy Sports

At Yahoo's (YHOO) shareholder meeting, I mentioned the curious lack of attention given to Yahoo's wonderful fantasy sports franchise. Today, I noticed an article listing Yahoo as the top online destination for fantasy sports. It looks like Yahoo has only recently begun focusing on increasing revenue from its fantasy sports platform. Better late than never:

Also, ESPN's Bill Simmons wrote an article about how fantasy sports have finally moved into the mainstream, to the point where if you're not involved, you're considered unusual:
