Fantasy Focus: The 2010 Board
Updated: January 11, 2011, 11:50 AM ET
It's the third year of the Fantasy Focus Baseball Board. Naturally, the first question you would ask yourself is who will attempt to weasel their way out of more bets this year? The keeper of the board would say it's probably going to be Matthew, but we've got a full season to find out.
Between the Baseball and Football podcasts, Nate is currently up 2-1-1 in the overall Board standings. Can Matthew pull even this season?
