Friday, October 16, 2009Where’s the fanfare?Posted by Paul Singman at 4:07pmI am not a big fan of fanfare; generally speaking, it is simply something I don't need. However when I win a fantasy league, the morning after the season ends I expect to go to my league homepage and see in big, bold letters "Congratulations Paul, You Finished in First!" or something similar with virtual confetti and balloons flying everywhere. Maybe that is a little over the top, but I think at least some change to league homepages should occur. Right now the homepages to my Yahoo and CBS leagues this year look exactly the same as they did the day before the season ended and it leaves me with a very anticlimactic feeling. I was not in an ESPN league this year so I do not know how they handle the situation, but in general do you agree that some sort of fanfare should occur at the end of season? Paul has been managing fantasy baseball teams for many seasons and writing for THT Fantasy over the past three years. He is currently a student at UPenn welcomes readers' thoughts at his email here or in the comments below.

Totally agree. I’ve won my Yahoo keeper league three years in a row now and the homepage is so bland. Would it kill them to add a “Congrats, Eric!”? However, I won a Yahoo league back in 2003, and I remember them adding a congrats banner the day after the season, so I know they’ve done it before. Posted 10/17 at 03:03 PM

what’s even worse is that i’ve been running yahoo plus leagues for the last 3 years, and not once has the winner received the “prize”. Posted 10/19 at 02:23 PM

I agree. Having something like that would be nice.
Also, for the record, ESPN does have a congratulations box in the right column.
