I'm a little shocked that I don't see more fantasy sports apps out there for football, basketball and baseball.

Has anyone here tried any of the few that are out? Any opinions/suggestions?

Thanks!

Heh, we wanted to create one but when we looked at the cost of licensing for the stats data from a major provider, it nearly exceeded our annual revenue. :(
 
Y! Fan....if you're doing fantasy sports through yahoo. It's new so I haven't actually seen how it works yet, but it looks cool.

Really, that's crazy...couldn't you just have your app (say it's for a specific fantasy site like nfl.com) log into their website with the users's username and password, and just download all the relative information, and have the app display it as you see fit?

Or would you need the site's permission to do that?
