The Magic Formula – Fantasy Football

Co-host of one of the most entertaining and most informative fantasy football podcasts, Jamey Eisenberg (@jameyeisenberg) from CBS Sports stops in to provide some last-minute fantasy football advice as the season gets ready to kick off. This is a jam-packed episode, culminating with Jamey talking golf Swing, Swing, Swings. And of course, the final book winner is announced as well! (Congratulations Dan Schmelzer!)

Not that John Tuvey (@jtuvey) needs any help in the credibility department -- see his work at USA Today and The Huddle, and of course the "Fantasy Football Weekly" podcast with Paul Charchian -- but when a man tells you he just finished drafting for the 24th and 25th seasons in two leagues, you KNOW he's got some great knowledge to share. During this show, John talks about some strategies for in-season roster management and helps you get ready to start your march to the championship.

Last week's show was such a smashing success that I decided to invite yet another Lady of Fantasy Football to spend some time with me. Welcome Liz Loza (@TheFFGirl) from The Fantasy Football Girl website as she talks about draft strategy, names to target in 2013 and why the meat in the sandwich is the most important part. It is a great hour, I hope you enjoy it!

Joining me for this historic, dare I say epic? - no let's not get too carried away...for this historic 25TH episode of The Magic Formula is the Red Ryder herself, Jules McLean (@FFFInfo) from Fantasy Freakin' Football.

Jules talked with me about some strategy ideas which will help any player, high-stakes or not, and why you need to know about Dash the Blind Cat before this season begins.
