If you have Aaron Rogers or Drew Brees on your fantasy football players right now, I probably don’t need to clarify that I am talking about American football and not soccer. It’s NFL season, and whether you are following your fantasy team or just catching up on how your favorite squad is doing, there are applications for that.
NFL ’11 – Here’s a simple app just for updating you with live scores. The program allows you to set alerts for specific plays and highlights in a game. You can also view the latest football news and video clips. This free app is available on Android and iOS devices.
CBS Sports Pro Football – With streaming play-by-plays, recaps and statistics on all 32 teams, this free iPad app is specifically tailored for your fantasy football league. There are message boards and customizable league updates to guide you through the season. There are similar apps available for other iOS devices as well as Androids and Blackberrys.
ESPN Fantasy Football 2011 – Manage multiple leagues and teams with just a few clicks and taps on your phone. It comes with real-time scoring, injury updates and other custom notifications for your Android and iOS devices. The app usually retails for $1.99 but is currently free for a limited amount of time.
Good luck with your fantasy team. But if you plan to catch up on your league’s progress during lecture, don’t forget to turn your device on silent.
