Update: CBS hasn't noticed a fall off in their fantasy games due to free games on ESPN. People who left came back.

Update: Jeff Ma wonders how you make a game both simple and compelling.

Update: Andy Andres just referred to fantasy friends, the people who you talk to about fantasy sports. This is different than imaginary friends, who wear i when they play sports.

Update: None of the panelists have seen any falloff from the various sports scandals.

Update: How do you forecast players in a changing drug environment? There's a big debate going on at BaseballHQ as to how to do this, or even if you can do this.

Update: I asked Jeff how you make a game simple but compelling. He says you need a game that allows players to make a lot of decisions without forcing them to make a lot of decisions.

Update: Jeff Ma suggests if you want to start a new company, use something like Facebook.

Update: Fantasy players love Juan Pierre because he steals a lot of bases.
