Millions of fantasy football users are in the dark this opening Sunday of the NFL season since ESPN’s fantasy site and app decided on the most opportune moment to completely shit the bed.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, the entire ESPN fantasy football site has crashed.
We are aware of the current technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience & are working to resolve the issue ASAP.

ESPN Fantasy Football site crashing, so here I am tallying points on graph paper over candlelight, just like my father's father before him.

Last year according to the New York Post, almost 75 million people planned to play fantasy football so I’m assuming that number pretty much stayed true once the 2015 season came to an end. Of that number it was anticipated ESPN would garner the most fantasy users with 54 percent of the share.
Again, assuming those numbers haven’t changed too much, there’s a ton of fantasy football owners pissed off today.
