You really think the fantasty stats thing has "gone too far"? I think not. I just saw a recent interview with Aaron Rodgers where he was saying fantasy football the single most positive thing that's happend to the NFL in recent memory. More fans are familiar with more players and now have the opportunity to interact with the NFL via their fantasy teams. This just seems like a natural progression.
