Bill Belichick Signs on with Underdog Fantasy
Rose Bowl Selling Suites to Host Fantasy Drafts
Bill Belichick wasn’t an underdog frequently during his incredible coaching career with the Patriots. New England’s former coach and the owner of eight Super Bowl rings has decided to become an underdog in his post-coaching career. Belichick joins Underdog Fantasy, one of the top players in the market.
“This show is going to give fans a comprehensive look at the behind-the-scenes of the National Football League: what it’s like to coach, how to prepare, how to team build, exactly the way I would do it if I was coaching a team” Belichick said.
“I partnered with Underdog because it’s a sports company run by sports people, and they want sports to connect to the fans, and that’s what I want to do. Belichick joins Underdog Fantasy to find a connection where we are giving the fans what they’ve asked me for – perspective on decision-making that goes on within an organization and a breakdown of schematics and personnel within the game. Underdog wants to do that, so it’s a great marriage and a great fit.”
An Underdog exec was thrilled that Belichick joins Underdog Fantasy.
As a lifelong Pats fan, over the last 24 years I’ve analyzed, questioned and mostly celebrated every single decision Bill has made. He’s brought me many of the most joyful experiences of my life. Now, we get the opportunity to work with the greatest coach of all time. https://t.co/DhWcIbz3Qj

Aug. 31 Could Be Rosy Day for Fantasy Football Drafts
Fantasy Football is beyond a fad. It has become a must-play for sports bettors. You don’t have to be a football bettor, too, to get involved in the billion-dollar industry. Leagues pop up all over the country and the world. Drafts have turned into mega-events. And now, there is a chance to have your draft in a venue that has played host to Super Bowls.
Sam Framer of the LA Times reported on Wednesday the Rose Bowl is offering its suites to those in fantasy football leagues. You know, have your fantasy football draft in a Rose Bowl suite. How sweet is that?
Really clever idea. @RoseBowlLegacy is creating fantasy football experiences where you can buy a package that allows your league to hold its fantasy draft in a Rose Bowl suite. Cool way to use the historic stadium on idle days.
