Fantasy Football - Sports, Entertainment & Leisure Insurance

By Tom Boecker

It's that time of year again, fantasy football season! By now, you've already drafted your teams and are ready to go. Were you able to draft Adrian Peterson or Tom Brady in your fantasy draft? Millions and millions of Americans have joined the fantasy football craze and it's grown into a multi million dollar industry and, although, we may be in an economic slump, that hasn't stopped millions of Americans from throwing down $100, $1000 or even more to join their fantasy leagues. Forget paying rent or bills, nothing takes precedent over fantasy football and matching wits with your buddies! In fact, more and more people are more concerned about how their fantasy team does than their own favorite team. Forget if the Bears beat the Packers Sunday night, what's more important is how many yards and touchdowns will Jay Cutler throw?

We've, now, even seen fantasy football enter the insurance industry. Remember last year when Tom Brady was hurt in the first game of the year? Well, now, you can buy insurance on many of your key players so in the event they are injured, you may be able to get your entry fee back. How many millions of dollars did Tom Brady's injury cost fantasy players last year? Forget the health care debate, it's more important your fantasy team is insured than your family! Priorities!!!
