The Season: Between the Hash Marks – Show 2

By Michael Kaus, Fantasy Football Cafe Regular

Welcome to The Season: Between the Hash Marks, hosted by Mike Kaus. We’ve all heard of reality television, but this show is fantasy reality radio. Join host Mike on his quest for fantasy football glory as he gives you an inside look into two ultra-competitive fantasy leagues. The history, the rivalries, the ups, the downs, the sweet victories, and the bitter defeats.

The show focuses on two different leagues. The first is one we can all relate to: our local money league with our best friends. These are the guys that we really want to crush every week, and then rub it in their faces year round. The second is a high-stakes fantasy football league with a grand prize of $100,000. The competition couldn’t be more intense, and you’re welcome to come along for the ride.
