Fantasy football, baseball, basketball, even fantasy sumo wrestling- The world of fantasy sports is huge, and growing. As the Senior Fantasy Sports Analyst for ESPN, Matthew Berry is on the front lines. In Fantasy Life, he celebrates every aspect of the fantasy sports world. Brilliant trash talk. Unbelievable trophies. Insane draft day locations. Shake-your-head-in-disbelief punishments. Ingenious attempts at cheating. And surprisingly uplifting stories that remind us why we play these games in the first place. Between tales of love and hate, birth and death, tattoos and furry animal costumes, the White House Situation Room and a 126-poind golden pelican, Matthew chronicles his journey from a fourteen-year-old fantasy player to the face of fantasy sports for the largest sports media company in the world.
