Those who are familiar with the show know that, throughout the program, the staff asks questions related to the day s top stories, ranging from trivia to predictions. There is a new game gaining popularity among die-hard sports fans called Fantasy Sports. One acts like the manager of a franchise, drafts his or her players, and competes against other team owners throughout the real-life sports season. This used to be great fun but a little difficult because of the amount of paperwork and time involved organizing a league. Now ESPN s website offers membership to a Fantasy league for a small price.
Members are from all over the world and compete on-line against each other for lots of prizes.
The staff and commentators at ESPN almost become part of the family to an intense sports fan. One might actually dream of meeting these people and talking sports hours on end. On the website, there is a schedule listing which sportscaster will be on-line and what time to log on to participate. At times, it seems as if we can not obtain enough knowledge that is sometimes used only to impress other fanatics. But it is an obsession, and the Internet is slowly becoming a force that feeds our addiction.
