It used to be called USA Today's Diamond Challenge and before that it was The Sporting News Diamond Challenge. It's a game that has 4,500+ players each year. Very good competition.

Why would Liberty Media/Fanball make an acquisition like the NFFC and Fantasy Sports Magazine, etc., and then close them all down within a year? Doesn't make sense. Or is this a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing? I'm confused...

Daren that is the real question in this entire debacle. The entire thing makes no sense and the only thing I can think of is that they (Liberty) took a profitable product previously run by small business (Greg) and ran it into the ground with high expenses (read: website, programming, and "executive salaries"). Corporate America strikes again!
