Wow, fantasy football season about to begin? That sure came up quick. If you have already joined leagues on ESPN or are planning to, the ESPN Fantasy Football app is your best friend, especially now that it has been updated for the 2012 season. With this sucker on your phone, you really don’t even need to visit the web interface for your league, as it is about as fully featured as you’ll find. The massive ad at the bottom is a bit much, but the app is free.

How many leagues have you joined/created already? Did you realize that the first preseason game was last night?

And in case you were wondering, we will be doing another elimination group.

ESPN Fantasy Football App Updated for 2012 Season is a post from: Droid Life

As you can probably tell after almost 2 years, we are huge sports fans and love to give away prizes to readers every chance we get.  So just as we did last year, we are launching another NFL Eliminator style challenge, but are upping the grand prize.  What on Earth could you possibly win this year?  How does a brand new phone of your choice sound?  We would attempt to pick a specific device, but by the time the NFL regular season wraps up in January, we will likely have a new batch of phones that blow the current models out of the water.  So when the time comes that we have a winner and all others are eliminated, we will let you choose what phone you want (sans iPhone of course) up to $600 in value.

Everyone ready to win a brand new phone?  Here we go…  

Join the group here:  Droid Life Eliminator

Simple rules for those new to eliminator chalenges:

1.  Join the league up above.  Create an entry for yourself.  Get ready to pick winners.
2.  Since this is an eliminator challenge, you only have to pick 1 winner each week.
3.  Remember though, that you only get to use a team one time and cannot pick them to win again.
4.  If you choose correctly each week, you continue to advance.
5.  If you choose incorrectly, you are out.  There are no mulligans in football or this league.
6.  If that didn’t make sense, check out the full “How to Play” rules here.
7.  If we run into another tiebreaker like last year, we will decide based on these rules.

We’ll try to remind folks to make their picks each week, but cannot guarantee that we’ll remember.  If we do though, it will be on Twitter, so be sure to follow us there.

Good luck everyone!  First game is Thursday, but I would stay far from it if I were you.

Contest: Enter the Annual Droid Life Football Eliminator Challenge, Win a FREE Phone is a post from: Droid Life

It’s that time of year again – the time to grab a case of Natty Ice, some nacho cheese dip with Fritos, and cruise over to Big Willie’s garage to get down with your fantasy football draft.  Or if you live in 2011, you could just register online, invite all of your friends via email and sit in your recliner with your own case of cheap beer and cheese dip and get down without having to move an inch.

Once you finish, you’ll want to swing by the Android Market to pick up this year’s ESPN Fantasy Football app that for whatever reason, is now free.  That’s right, after sneaking in at the semi-ridiculous price of $4.99 or so last year, you can now track all of your league domination for nothing.

And I would say that this also means that I should start setting up our pick’em contest for this year.  Stay tuned for those details.

ESPN’s Fantasy Football 2011 App Lands on the Market for FREE is a post from: Droid Life

Any huge football fans here? The NFL has just pumped out their fantasy football application to the Android Market, and so far, it does not look half bad. Last year, some people said it was pretty awful, but a quick peek at the Market comments shows that their developers might have done it right this year. Especially since it is free. Go grab it and let us know what you think.

Aren’t we all glad there is no lockout happening?

Cheers Tom!
