We will also be discussing an interview Ian Allen and I had with Hall of Fame Defensive End David ‘Deacon’ Jones. Deacon goes old-school on Ian and has the former NFL OT looking to put on some pads and line up across from the legend.

Finally, JC and I will look at the trends that have emerged in the three BTR Fantasy Sports Channel Leagues.

The First Annual Fantasy Sports Channel Analysis Draft presented by Blog Talk Radio and Fantasy Sharks Radio!

Teams will be tracked but unmanaged. What this means is that the rosters will be entered into a MyFantasyLeague.com web site and will be scored based on Best Possible Lineup each week. Records will be based on the All Play concept where every team plays every other team each week. Total Points will also be monitored. There will be no trading and no free agent pickups - the goal is to show who is the best preseason prognosticator - not who is the best in-season manager.

You can follow the progress of Fantasy Sharks Radio as we take on some of the top fantasy experts in the country. So who are these experts?

Rotowire.com – Jeff Erickson – Erickson is senior editor of RotoWire. He’s the only two-time winner of Baseball Writer of the Year from the Fantasy Sports Writers Assocation (2007 and 2008) and winner of the 2007 AL Tout Wars fantasy baseball title.

The Fantasy Exchange – Joe Everett – Everett is a 10-plus year veteran of fantasy football who has a reputation for being an impeccable prognosticator of both collegiate and professional football talent. He has worked for ExtremeFantasySports.com, Draft.com, as well as FootballJunker.com and is very experienced with a variety of scoring systems, auction league strategies, and styles of fantasy football play. Joe is currently writing for the IDPReport.com and TheFantasyExchange.com, a web site designed for the general fantasy football fan as well as the fans of the radio show.

Two Feet Inbounds – Greg Brosh – Greg Brosh has been working with FantasyPlanet.com since 2007, helping to develop the magazine along with Player News development and graphics.

NFL Draft Bible – Rick Serritella – Serritella is the founder of the NFL Draft Bible, powered by All Access Football. The NFL Draft Bible enters its ninth season of providing exclusive NFL Draft information and were the ones who broke the news that the Lions would select Matthew Stafford number one overall in this past year’s draft.

Sports Editor, Hugo Daily News – Brian Moore – Moore has owned a fantasy football site for 13 years now. He’s a member of PFWA, FSWA, and sports editor for the Hugo Daily News.

Roto Radio – Jonathon Phillips – Phillips is a senior writer at Rotoexperts.com, and last year’s winner the Columbus Dispatch national competition “Rate The Experts,” for which he was named Fantasy Football Expert of the Year. The prize was the key to the city of Columbus . The catch is it opens one door and he has to find it. Those tricky Ohio people. Actually he won a nice plaque, the cost of which was defrayed by eliminating the contest. You hear him every Sunday on Blogtalk Radio at 11AM as co-host of the Rotoexperts THINK TANK.

Fantasy Pros 911 – Tony Cincotta – John Arias will be sitting in for Mr. Cincotta who has a dance recital to attend today. This actually should help boost Cincotta’s reputation as a fantasy dynamo.

Fantasy Sports Group – John Carson – JC is the founder of the Fantasy Sports Group, a Capricorn and he HATES Penguins!

We also had one team picked by the MyFantasyLeague.com Auto Draft Wizard.

Since his freshman year in college, billboards may be the only form of media Chris Cause hasn�t been involved in. In 10 years as an actor, Chris has worked on big budget movies (Meet Joe Black, In Dreams, A Civil Action, Pearl Harbor), long running television series (General Hospital, Port Charles), commercials, stage, and the internet. In 2004, Chris was able to merge his media experience with his love for sports and traveled throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties as the sideline reporter for High School Football on KVMD-TV. The following season, he provided play-by-play for Golden West College football. Chris was able to take that experience and move to the sports anchor desk or KREX-TV, the CBS affiliate in Grand Junction, CO. After covering two Junior College World Series, Chris made the move to EA Sports and their landmark new project, GameShow, the video game industry�s first broadcast videogame. It is at EA that Chris became “The Sweet Nasty”. Oh, and where he met Wheelhouse co-host Mike Bower.

Chris is a lifelong Boston sports fan and he and his wife have a big beautiful baby boy and a black Lab, who no longer has any peace.

You know when you turn the radio tuner to sports talk radio and some over-voiced host and his former jock side kick wants to break down the match ups for tonight�s showdown and have callers on to yell at to make themselves feel better? Yeah - that�s not the Wheelhouse. If you want to figure out the best athlete to have your back in a bar fight? The worst three songs you want to hear when Charles Barkley gives you a lift home from the bar? Or the stories that make you go, “What?!?!!? Really?!?!?!” THAT�S the Wheelhouse. It�s the sports conversations at the backyard BBQ, in the stands at the game, or at the bar over a pitcher. It�s fantasy advice. It�s pop culture from a man�s point of view. It�s time to make sports entertaining again.

You can learn more about The Sweet Nasty and The Wheelhouse by tuning in Tuesday night, June 15th at 7:30 PM ET to the Fantasy Game Plan on Blog Talk Radio’s Fantasy Sports Channel.
