fantasy sports

has anyone ever thought of starting a fantasy sports gaming site? it's something i've been considering for a long time, but i wouldn't have the time / dedication to manually update the stats for every single player every day. is there a place where you can buy daily datafeeds of player stats? if i made a fantasy sports site, i'd probably code a fantasy baseball game first (since that's the only sport i really follow), and because it's about 6 months before the start of the next season, which would give me plenty of time to prepare for it.

i guess that means no one knows anything about this? :p

IMHO,daily datafeeds of every single player may be impossible,for there is usually one match a week.So trying to get the weekly datafeeds is reazonable,from the official site of each club that a certain player plays for.

there's one match per week in football, but baseball players usually play 5 - 6 games a week

noone updates the numbers by hand to a fantasy football league... one would need an army of monkeys to accomplish such a feat. I believe the NFL probably would give permission and access to thier databases, for a price.

I think that baseball would be more complicated though.
