Fantasy Football comes to AT&T's U-verse

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 9th 2008 at 4:59PM

Pardon us for asking when we know the answer, but are you ready for some football? With the Brett Favre saga saturating the NFL headlines, it's a sigh of relief to read something unrelated to the newest New York Jet. AT&T U-verse users who find themselves absorbed in their fantasy football league will be utterly elated to find that Yahoo! Sports' Fantasy Football is now available directly in the U-bar. The interactive application enables users to "conveniently track their fantasy football team and receive customized information on their favorite NFL teams directly on their U-verse TV," though it won't make piecing together a winning team any easier.

I found this a few days ago while poking around, but while it is convenient, it only works if you use your @att.net username for Fantasy Football, which, I would assume, most people don't use on a regular basis if they just signed up for U-Verse.

It would be nice if you could tie a different account to your U-Verse account in order to get those updates on your TV.

there is a setting on your Yahoo! Fantasy Football team management page to invite a "co-manager". Just go to the "Edit Team Information" page and put in your att.net account to be a co-manager.
