Welcome to 24Seven Fantasy!

What's up, guys?  

First of all, my name is Andrew Smith, I have no *real* fantasy credentials, other than having played this game for a decade with an extreme passion and devotion.  I know there are a ton of fantasy blogs out there, with guys who are far more respected and known than me, so this blog is going to be a little different than the others.  For us true fantasy fans, there is no down time, no sleep, no leisure time.  Fantasy is our job, in fact, for many of us, we put a lot more energy and time into fantasy than our actual jobs.  So, what I'm doing is offering fantasy players a blog that will update more frequently than any other.  Seeing as how I devote 7-8 hours a day on fantasy, I don't think that's unattainable by any stretch of the imagination.  

Now, as for how I envision it working - I want to get as many people involved with the writing, analysis, commentary, etc... as possible.  I'm a member of one of the most competitive fantasy leagues in the world (in my opinion).  Not made up of credentialed experts, but true fans of the game who pride themselves on their knowledge and passion for the sport.  The league, called HP ALLSTARZ (hometown reference), has been in existence for 10 years.  It's primarily made up of college kids (with a few exceptions), whose undying passion for fantasy can best be evidenced by the fact that we continue to hold a live draft every year, despite being spread out from Massachusetts to Hawaii.  In summation, it's a serious league, and you better know what you're doing or you'll be embarrassed.  Hopefully, I can get a number of members from HP ALLSTARZ to contribute to this blog, as their passion and knowledge would be a great addition.

Anyways, glad you're on board.  And stick around.  You won't regret it.
