“I used to write everything down and do all the scoring (for his local league) by hand. Now it’s all online. It’s just good, clean fun.”
“I’ll have maybe two teams this season,” said Millian, the secretary for Zullo’s league. “I’m not as in-depth as (Zullo) is. I’ve been doing this for about 12 years now, and I’ve even won two Fantasy Super Bowls.”
Former defensive lineman Tony Siragusa, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, was milling about the hall, chatting with fans and posing for pictures.
“The Goose” had just enjoyed a couple of brats at the outside tailgating area.
“Those brats were real good,” Siragusa smiled. “I’m having a great time, really.”
Siragusa said he plays fantasy football, but that “it’s a lot of hard work. I won one (league) I played in a couple years ago. It’s become such a craze.”
Former NFL stars including Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Joe Theismann, Lawrence Taylor and Phil Simms were scheduled to appear at the Fest. Kelly was seen playing with the lingerie girls early Saturday afternoon, but he left the building by 1 p.m.
Eagles players Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy were scheduled in the autograph area late Saturday afternoon.
Across the exhibition hall, Haddonfield’s John Hensen, a renowned fantasy expert, held court with his partner Matt Camp. The two became friends at Rowan College and in 1995 launched the Fantasy Guru website.
Hansen has been a consultant to ESPN, and had a fantasy football show on Comcast SportsNet for seven years. He also appears daily on SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
“I started with a little TV show in Atlantic City,” Hansen said. “Then we launched the site, ESPN contacted me and it just kind of snowballed from there.”
Fantasy footballers looking for advice can go to the Guru website after paying a yearly subscription price of $50. The Guru guys also publish a magazine.
“Once a subscriber joins with us, they get it all, from what players to draft, who not to, injury reports, everything,” Hansen said. “We even have apps for your phone.”
