Fantasy Football website question

    There's a new fantasy league starting at my job, and I've agreed to be commissioner. I know I'm asking for trouble, but the only other choice was our assignment desk guy, and honestly I'm not sure he even knows how to tie his own shoes correctly.

    So far the three hosting sites suggested to me are yahoo.com, cbssportsline.com and espn.com. I'm already in two leagues (my wife thinks I have a problem...she's probably right); one uses yahoo and the other cbs. They work well, but they also cost about $130. The espn.com site is free and has the same bells and whistles, but apparently it was a train wreck a few years ago. Does anyone on here know if espn.com has improved its site, or should I stay far, far away? In that case, any other suggestions/reccomendations?

    Yahoo has two versions, pay and free. Free version works very well.

    Yahoo's free version works well. ESPN's free version works well.
    I prefered the Yahoo free version to ESPN's because a couple of the features Yahoo provided for free ESPN would make you pay for.
    ESPN's is also too reliant on Flash technology for my tastes.

    I prefer Yahoo's free version. I used it for baseball and liked it and was equally satisfied with its football package.

    We used Fox Sports for a league last year. It wasn't bad at all.

    Yahoo.com all the way. It's been the easiest to navigate for me.

    We used fanball.com. I'm not the commish so I have no idea how much it costs. We just divide the cost by 10 and tack it onto the entry fee.

    We use statsworld.com and have since the league started a decade ago. Not a ton of bells and whistles, but a solid performer for us. Looks like about $70 per league, although I think we get a discount as returning clients.

    I am on Yahoo for all leagues. I think its the easiest and best one I have encountered.

    Yahoo is very good.

    ESPN's baseball was awful this year.

    I have TMQ stats for a baseball auction keeper league and it is the worst I have ever seen.
