local companies offer solid fantasy football sites
in-game substitution does sound like fantasy crack and would kill my buzz on sunday. shouldn't a rube just be enjoying the game at some point? seriously.
in the first paragraph they forgot the name of the company. i'm pretty sure it is fanball.com. a local company of which the owner?/rube/host has had a sunday show on kfan.com for 10+ years. btw, i will work for either company. cheap. please send offers to worm2 [at] witlessworm.com.

It comes as no real surprise, with the high level of football mania in town, that the Twin Cities is home to fantasy football companies. If you're looking for a new site or a first one for your fantasy football league and want to support one of the local guys, here are a couple of good options:
The main attraction here is the Commissioner league provider service. It rivals cbssportsline.com and espn.com as a top-of-the-line traditional fantasy league service. The site is easy to use and features all the gadgets you'll need (live scoring, injury flags, etc.) at a better price. Fanball also offers other games, some free, beside the Commissioner, including an upcoming game where you compete against their "experts."
Another bonus here is the Newsbreakers feature that provides a fantasy spin to a lot of the previous day's NFL news.
While GameDayCoach.com can host your traditional league, the hook here is something that wives and husbands of fantasy addicts don't want to hear: in-game substitutions. That's right, if you have eight hours of free time on Sundays, you can manipulate your fantasy lineup while the games are going on, replacing that injured running back or benching your QB (we told you not to take Joey Harrington!)
"We're betting people want to treat fantasy football like a video game," said Jason Ball, public relations director at GDC. "We think there's a market for a more interactive fantasy game."
There website offers a demo that is worth checking out ... as long as the fantasy-hater in your household isn't watching.
