Some of the best news these days in terms of fantasy football recently came out.
The National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC) will continue under the new ownership of Greg Ambrosius.
So what happened? In a nut shell NFFC was bought awhile back by Liberty Sports Interactive. Run under the name Fanball, they decided not to continue the NFCs in 2011. Greg Ambrosius the mastermind behind NFFC (and NFBC for Baseball, http://www.nfbc.stats.com/) took matters in his own hand and bought the NFFC and NFBC back from them. He has now teamed up with his long-time partner in FF Tom Kessenich to provide the NFFC, NFBC and the future NFBBC (Fantasy Basketball). And STATS has been brought in to run the backend software for the leagues. STATS ran it for the first six years. STATS may have an ownership stake in the NFFC as well I know Greg and Tom are now with STATS in some capacity. But Greg, Tom and STATS make a good team.
Greg and Tom are good people and STATS seemed to me to be better organized then the software Liberty used last year.
So great to hear that NFFC is alive and well and I wish them all the luck this season.
NFFC is mentioned prominently in Fantasy Football Guidebook and Fantasy Football Tips while NFBC is almost exclusively mentioned in Fantasy Baseball for Beginners.
Greg and Tom are good stewards of the fantasy game.
Greg is a recent inductee into the Fantasy Sports Writers Association (FSWA-of which I am a member) Hall of Fame
