As I mentioned earlier, I am part of the age group that hates change. However I really like fantasy sports, especially baseball. I never play for money because I never win when I gamble (former math teacher here!). But running a fantasy baseball team keeps you involved through the season. You need to adjust your roster every day, drop non-productive players and try to find players who are ready to breakout. I love the numbers part of fantasy sports, but it is still fun even if you don’t obsess about every stat (like me).

I personally like Yahoo Fantasy Sports because it is easy to use and there is a minimum of trash talk. I am in a head-to-head league this year for the first time. Head-to-head is awesome in fantasy football, so I have high hopes. Stand by for many, many updates.
I also want to plug USA Today Sports Weekly. It used to be amazing, but gradually their baseball coverage has shrunk. Still the best regular source of baseball news, although I am forced to read it online because it is an 8 hour drive for me to pick up a paper copy! Also be sure to follow Bob Nightengale on Twitter, if only for the nutjobs that criticize every post he makes.
