II Foreword from Peter Jennings
I began playing fantasy football with friends when I was 13,and it quickly became one of my strongest passions. I played intensely throughmy high school days and into college, pursuing the game as a hobby while supportingmyself as a full-time poker player. As a college student, I really knew Ididnt want to go down the corporate road, so I was focused on finding a way tomake a living playing poker. It was through some of my poker buddies that I wasintroduced to daily fantasy sports.
