I'm not sure enough NFFC folks realize this incredible story of one of our great NFFC champions. Rob Benetti won the NFFC Classic and our $100,000 grand prize in 2006 and he continues to play with us, but a few years after his big victory here he stepped away from his intense love of fantasy football to spend more time with his wife Sue and to follow his son's broadcasting career.

Jason Benetti has a remarkable story and he's one helluva play-by-play announcer now in his dream job with the Chicago White Sox. This is his second year with the White Sox and if you listen in you know what I mean by him being a hell of an announcer. He does a great job with Steve Stone when he appears on TV and he's solid on the radio. Rob must be VERY PROUD.

Here's a great writeup on Rob, Sue and Jason:

Congrats Rob. We're all proud of the Benetti's here at the NFFC.

I'm not just saying this to say it. I have the baseball package and bounce around to different broadcasts. Jason Benetti and Steve Stone are one of the best crews in the game. Very entertaining and informative. Two different personalities that play off each other extremely well. I'd put them with the Mets team as two of the top crews I prefer to listen to.
