Halftime Hack
Very quickly:
I like Jimmy Kimmel and all. He’s a funny guy. But, and I don’t know if you were watching during halftime last night, I lost some respect for him after he talked down about fantasy football and those who play it. Seriously? Jimmy? Don’t you realize who your supporters are? I don’t count myself as a Kimmel supporter necessarily - I don’t watch his show, mainly because I don’t know when it’s on – but I did watch The Man Show now and again if I stumbled across it, and I believe that many of the beer chugging, women loving, cat-calling men who sat in the shows studio audience and watch on TV are football fans too. I also would bet that a large number (majority, even) play fantasy football. So yeah, go on and trash it and those who love it. Makes perfect sense to me.

I missed it. But isn't Kimmel tight with ESPN's Sports Guy? And doesn't Sports Guy really love his roto leagues? I don't get it. You're right, more than half of his target audience have got to be fantasy players. Du-dumb.
They are tight.. recall that Bill Simmons (Sports Guy) began writing for Kimmel on his show and also helped put together his jokes for - I think it was the AMA's. I was completely surprised.
