These guys are an absolute riot on radio! #ScoutArmy listeners started lining up on twitter to claim their listener # when these two teamed up and started hosting late night on Sirius XM Fantasy. Here is a brief descrption of two of the most entertaining personalities in all of fantasy sports. First Tommy G: There are plenty of so-called experts in Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS). Armchair gurus from websites that often can barely survive once football season is over. But how many of these experts are putting their own money on the table? And not just $20 or $30 per week? How many are putting thousands on the lines and reaping huge rewards across all the DFS sites? How many of these “experts” are actually successful at a high-level? As you’ve probably already heard, Tommy G is one of them. He’s the real deal. No other site has an expert of this caliber discussing advanced strategies, making calls and naming players for your benefit. Dr. Roto is the heart & soul of SCOUT Fantasy. He’s also the host of SCOUT Fantasy TV. He has won a SCOUT Fantasy Online Championship league in each of the last two years & he even took down the entire field of over 1000 players during his own Beat Dr. Roto contest in 2014.

This is the first time that a fantasy show has been THE national over-the-air broadcast on a major radio network, let alone the leading radio network in the country. This is a significant achievement for not only ESPN Fantasy, but for the industry as a whole to have created an audience so voracious for a specific kind of content that integrating fantasy into a show is simply not enough anymore: Fantasy IS the content of the show.

One could easily make the argument that no one, single radio show has had more impact on the day-to-day success of its listeners in fantasy sports than the “RotoGrinders” show on Sirius XM. The show is slotted from 6-7 ET, which is the most important final hour before roster locks for most contests. Since DFS is a game built on being more informed than your competition, last-second news is critical for success. Not only does the RotoGrinders show inform listeners of late roster scratches, inactives, starting lineups and weather impacts, but it also helps decipher that information into understandable terms for consumers who are too busy to monitor this info due to his or her afternoon commute, job and other distractions.
