We pride ourselves in the work and effort we put into making our projections and weekly picks. We are of the firm understanding that an expert should not only be educated on the game of football it’s strategies, and concepts, but also a fundamental understanding of how the NFL impacts the fantasy game itself. We then back up our data with strong play in expert leagues that we make completely viewable to our listeners, so you can see not only how accurate our information is, but that understand the information we are providing and using it effectly. 2007-2010, Todd “The True Guru” Farino has put all his leagues for full discloser on his site www.fantasyfootballsearch.com . In four years, Todd competed in 27 leagues in front of the world, and made the playoffs in 25. We are now bringing this function over to Fantasy Football Tonight and challenge all experts to give full discloser on the leagues they compete in and show if they can back up what they say.
