Now women can have fantasy games too.
Lest any of you femi nazis out there think I'm a male chauvinist pig (and really, how could that ever be a legitimate thought), this blog is about a game that ESPN magazine (an enlightened periodical, if there ever was one) called, "A Fantasy League for Females."
According to a story by Sara Glassman of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the league is an alternative for Fantasy Football or Fantasy Baseball, games that men find amusing. The league is called Us Weekly fantasy and revolves around picking celebrities and getting or losing points for how they appear in print. You win points for a cover shot and good photographs inside the magazine. You lose points if you show up in a photo of the ill-dressed as determined by the Fashion Police section. It was Bill Simmons of ESPN Magazine who came up with the idea to give his wife an idea of why men are so hep on sports fantasy leagues. Does this sound like fun to you? Posted by Steve E.

It sounds fun, and it is! Actually, it's being done on a bigger scale at tabfl.com with four magazines rather than just Us Weekly. There are three games in the works - one of them is up and running now (you guess who will be on the cover next week), and another will begin in September where you pick your fantasy cast of celebs and score points based on where they appear in the magazine. Check out the tabloid fantasy league at TABFL.com
