It's difficult to make arguments for playing in leagues on sites other than
Yahoo. Yahoo is free, has an enormous user base, and it has a very good user interface and highly usable site. By our metrics, there is no comparison. |

If you're going to venture into the smaller websites to find a league, then
this is the site to use. As far as website and interface go, we believe that it is superior to any other option out there. It's flexible and easy to use.
The only disadvantage is that the number of users is fairly small. Still, a great site. |
| CBS Sportsline |

CBS Sportsline is the only other site which really compares to Yahoo's when
it comes to free leagues on big sites. It has a very strong user base and good features. We don't like the website as much as Yahoo's, but this is still
a very reasonable choice as a location for your league. |
| ESPN |

ESPN does offer its fantasy football game for free, so it is in a virtual tie with
CBS, but it is still similar to CBS and inferior to Yahoo in most respects. Much of the content on ESPN is still for a fee, so if you use this
option then you will find much of the website still locked out to you. |
| NFL.com |

NFL.com has a pretty decent fantasy football league option. There's not a lot
of other products on this site to keep you hear, but they have a decent number of people who use their site. |
