I know its a little last second but hey better late than never right? For those of you wondering why we haven’t posted much on this site as of late, its because the Foti Sports crew is hard at work on its latest venture which can be seen by visiting DailyFantasySports.org. For those of you that may be unaware of what exactly daily fantasy sports are allow me to explain it to you.

For starters you pick a new team every week (for football) or every day if you’re playing hockey, basketball, baseball etc. To pick that team you’re giving a budget which for daily fantasy football is $60,000. Then you have to select a team of players, all of whom have differing salaries, to fit under the budget and then play that team against your opponents for cold hard cash (or for free if you’d like). The following video sums it up nicely.

Now that you’re familiar with the game and how it works I bet you’re eager to jump into the action right? Well you’ve come to the right place because this week the fine folks at FanDuel and Daily Joust have given me the ability to invite all of you to their free rolls!

What is a free roll?
In case you’ve never heard of one before, a free roll is a contest wherein the contestants can win actual cash by playing but don’t have to put up any of their own money to compete. Its a win win situation for both the sites and the players, and its a great way to help you ease into these types of contests without risking any of your own money.

Alright just give me the damn links!

Woah woah, easy there killer. The links are below.

Have you ever wished that you could play fantasy sports every week with a new team? Missed your season long draft? Regardless of your reason, you can now play weekly fantasy sports for cash money at FanDuel. The concept here is rather simple and its something that I have grown to love over the past couple weeks. Essentially what your doing here is assembling a new fantasy football team to compete every Sunday. You are given a salary cap to assemble a team, which you can then enter into contests against 1, 4, or 9 other players on the web. The entry fees for the tournaments range from $5 up to $100 so their is certainly something for everyone to enjoy. Furthermore, FanDuel is also running a referral contest in which you will receive $10 for every player that you refer to their website! Assume you have a few sport fanatic friends on facebook you can easily earn yourself a few bucks just for referring a few people to the contest. To enter this contest and play weekly fantasy football, baseball, nhl, and nba contests simply click the banner at the top left of this blog post. Best of luck to you in the fantasy sports arena at FanDuel

The monotony of the Tiger Woods saga over the last few months has grown increasingly frustrating with each passing day. Media personnel are still camping out outside of his Florida home, and most recently outside the rehabilitation center where he is receiving treatment for a supposed sex addiction. I have refused to read any articles pertaining to Tiger Woods for about two weeks now, but this morning I stumbled upon the comments made by Tom Watson, one of the most respected men in golf. “Tiger has to take ownership of what he has done. He must get his personal life in order. And when he comes back he has to show some humility to the public I feel that he has not carried the same stature that other great players that have come along like Jack [Nicklaus], Arnold [Palmer], Byron Nelson, the Hogans”(Watson). Its not so much Watson’s comments that bother me, although I disagree, but it is however the media’s onslaught of questions regarding Tiger’s personal life to everyone but Tiger Woods.
I am outraged that I can still wake up each morning and find a new article pertaining to Tiger Woods personal life. The accident happened just a little over two months ago, how long before the daily updates perish? He was in an accident, he admitted to numerous transgressions, and is seeking help, what else do you want from the greatest golfer of all time? I’m not writing this to give my opinion on what Tiger should or shouldn’t have done, but simply to express my extreme displeasure with the media. Is it really necessary to ask every professional golfer their thoughts on Tiger Woods personal life? Tiger has the same right to privacy as you, me, or any other American citizen in this country. The PGA Tour is just as much to blame as the media. They continue to allow players to express their opinion on a very “personal” situation involving their greatest asset, Tiger Woods. I’m not saying the media shouldn’t be allowed to ask the question, but do we need EVERY golfer on the tours opinion 2 months after the incident. Someone needs to step in and say enough is enough.
The media has created such a negative image of Tiger Woods through the opinion of seemingly every sports figure in America that it will be virtually impossible for him to restore it. No matter how many tournaments Tiger will eventually win, or how many PGA records he shatters, he will always be remembered as the man who cheated on his wife in one of the biggest sex scandals of all time. Unfair? Absolutely! My biggest argument pertaining to the defamation of Tiger Woods as a human being and as a golfer is expressed in Mr. Watson’s comments yesterday. “I feel that he has not carried the same stature that other great players that have come along like Jack [Nicklaus], Arnold [Palmer].” Why now? Where was the constant barrage of negativity towards Woods on and off the course before the accident? I understand these incidents have triggered a lot of the negativity, but it just seems like there all taking their shots while Tiger remains in seclusion.
I am truly sick of everyone weighing in on Tiger other than Tiger. How long will it take before we associate Tiger Woods with the game of golf, and not sex, escorts, and rehab? Tiger is an exceptional athlete and in my opinion the greatest golfer of all time. He has many years of dominance ahead of him, and I truly believe Tiger Woods will be stronger than ever when he makes his return to the game of golf. I send out a warning to Tigers colleagues on the Tour who have yet to give their opinion on his personal life. Choose your words carefully, although we may not be able to see Tiger, he can see you, he can hear you, and he will certainly remember your face when he makes his return to the game of golf.
