2025 PSDG: The Value of a Good Commissioner (Preview)
Chris Rito 8/1/2025
A few years ago, you may remember that we saw an on-camera kerfuffle in 2022 between baseball pros Tommy Pham and Joc Pederson about their clubhouse fantasy football league. Tensions ride high and emotions crest wildly while playing this game, especially when significant money is on the line for the wagering - and the average MLB player has way more expendable cash for wagering than do most of you reading this article, I am sure! Here is what took place, as best as has been reported and agreed upon by all parties:
The league was set up among the players and Mike Trout was selected to be the commissioner. He did not really want to be the commissioner, and basically did nothing all season.

"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."
