Dream Sports Latest News- * * New Rules * *

[Jim H / Dream Sports]

Thanks to all of you that responded back about the new NFL schedule and how
it affects Fantasy Football.

The overall response was that the new changes (see below) were a good thing. 
Many wanted to implement them now, but enough of you said next season, and 
that's what we will do.
