Nothing has changed the world of fantasy sports like the explosion of computer and Internet technology, and I thank the geeks of the world who have made this possible, for otherwise the number of people wanting to read this column would be diminished from its already tiny number. It may be theorized that technology’s ability to change the fantasy landscape had reached its peak, but the latest edition of FanDraft software is challenging that.(click here to read the full article)
