Jeff sits down and shares his story on how he got involved in fantasy sports. He was a teenager when he got started and genuinely believes this is what he was meant to do with his life. After 30-plus years of experience in the industry, there is a reason why he and his close friends are the best in the business and don’t get burned out like some of the other guys do.

Quotes:

 

“I believe a strong commission, a strong voice of the league is important. Everyone should vote on rules.”

 

“People will cheat. Commissioners have to be strong and they have to be aware.”

 

“Don’t act as if this knowledge — this 30 years of football, baseball, hockey — that there’s nothing you can take advantage of here.”
