About The Fantasy Football Nerd
There are 3 absolute truths in this world.
- None of us will live forever
- You will have to pay taxes
- There are smarter Fantasy Football experts out there than you
I can't promise you eternal life, nor can I help you escape your tax responsibilities. What I can help with is bringing all the best Fantasy Football expert advice into one place so that you have a better chance to be smarter than the "experts".
If Amazon is the best aggregator of products, FantasyFootballNerd.com aims to be the best aggregator of fantasy football advice. If you're like I was, you'll do your fantasy research on your computer with several tabs open (if your browser doesn't have tabs, upgrade your browser *** FireFox Recommended ***). I've spent countless hours switching between tabs trying to compare projections from the various experts. It's easy to forget what I read just 20 minutes ago. FantasyFootballNerd.com was born so that I could see all of this in one place. I figured as long as I've spent this much time creating it, I might as well share it. After all, my leagues are already filled so you won't be competing against me. I used a slimmed down version of FantasyFootballNerd last year for one of my drafts and it was very helpful (particularly in the later rounds!).
Technology projects have been born out of garages, basements, and college dorm rooms (ie, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Mark Zuckerberg). I don't work out of the garage (too cold in winter), the basement (not finished yet), or a dorm room (would love to go back to college!!!), but I do pound out code on the notebook while sitting on the couch (much more comfortable). Editor's Note: Yes, I know it's a tad early to start the comparisons to the folks listed above.
FantasyFootballNerd.com is completely free for all those who choose to use it. The site runs on the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) with a little AJAX thrown in for good measure. I have been pretty selective on the sites that I choose to include in my rankings. There are tons of sites out there that make me say "What are they thinking?". I look for qualitative reasoning behind rankings and suggestions. I also look at things like the Google PageRank and Alexa Rank of the sites providing data as part of my collective intelligence algorithms.
FantasyFootballNerd.com is still a baby - so I'm always interested in hearing what works and what doesn't. You've got a suggestion? Tell me. You absolutely hate something? Tell me. Have a question? Tell me. Ready to shower me with praise and money? Tell me and I'll give you a call! :-) I want to hear how FantasyFootballNerd.com works for you so shoot me an email at nerd@fantasyfootballnerd.com and give me your thoughts.
Have a great season!
