They improvised off specific points. But we're definitely working with them to help them loosen up. Believe it or not, no prompter! They improvised off specific points.

People got obsessed in a way that is very comparable to D&D players. :) I like your graphics, and your hosts will be great but for now I can kind of tell they're reading off a prompter and the one looks a bit anxious about it. Not that I should criticize - I always looked like a puffy blotchy red deer in the headlights when I was on camera, which is why I stuck to camera work.

And Kathy, fantasy football _is_ kind of like D&D, but fantasy football players might kill me for admitting that. The key is that it plays to two instincts: 1) the need to be able to predict things correctly in sports (the "i knew it" complex so many sports gamblers love), and 2) the ability to prove that you're as smart as the guys running NFL teams. Here's how it works: a group of people (usually 10-16) take turns selecting actual NFL players for their roster. the real stats they acquire during football games will score you points, so the better a player does in real football, the better he does for your fantasy team. Each week, you "play" another person in your league, and if all your guys outscore his or hers, you win. Many of the players' stats will vary greatly from one year to the next, so the fun is in sifting through all the info and finding guys who will surprise and avoiding those who will disappoint. Again, like gambling. That's the gist of it. Oh, and btw, you came off super awesome in The Devil and Daniel Johnston. Too cool. Thanks again everyone!

If you get the chance to do what you want to do for a living, generally it's a good idea to take it. Congratulations!

On the clip. Is fantasy football like Dungeons and dragons? Or is it like a news show about football (that's what it seems like). But then why is it "fantasy"? Are you talking about Pretend teams? Well, congratulations anyhow! I watched your clip, but still have NO CLUE what you are talking about. On the clip. Is fantasy football like Dungeons and dragons?
