60 Minutes Sports On Showtime To Air Tonight

[Greg Ambrosius]

As many of you know, camera crews from 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime were in Las Vegas Sept. 5-7 for our NFFC drafts as part of a special feature on the growth of fantasy football that they are producing. That camera crew even attended our NFL Viewing Party at the Bellagio and they interviewed several of our paticipants at that time. That piece will now air on Wednesday, Oct. 2nd at 10 pm ET.

The piece centers around Matthew Berry's book "A Fantasy Life", which features stories about unique fantasy players and their winning experiences. As you can see from the trailer, Matthew sets the tone for the growth of the industry and there are several live shots from various high-stakes events throughout the country, including the NFFC at the Bellagio Las Vegas. 60 Minutes Sports took several shots of the NFFC Diamond League in Las Vegas that you can see on the trailer and they even interviewed four of our Diamond League participants in our suite: Glenn Schroter, Rob Silver, Peter Berall and Kevin Payne. A film crew also followed Chad Schroeder to his drafts that weekend and I believe he will be highlighted as well in this piece.

Anyway, here's the trailer to tonight's show:

DVR it tonight and let us know what you think. It's good for the entire fantasy sports industry to get this type of publicity. Let's hope it's a positive showing.

Real people should not do a show about fantasy people....

They should've given you a budget, a cameraman and a decent reporter ... would have been 100x better.
