Profiting off the NFL is a dream come true
By CANDACE BUCKNER
The Kansas City Star

When envisioning a self-made entrepreneur who has earned a small fortune from an NFL-inspired dot-com, you wouldn't picture a guy like Eddie Frias.

He's a 37-year-old Northern California dude who sports a tongue ring, wears his dark hair down to his waist and posts pictures of Hooters girls and half-dressed "models" all over his MySpace page. He couldn't be less corporate America if he tried, and yet he's the founder of the successful www.commishkit.com, an online company that sells fantasy football draft boards directly to players and huge media companies alike.

The way the fantasy football business has changed his Everyday Man existence makes Frias burst into random fits of laughter, as if he can hear cha-ching playing inside his head. You'd be cracking up too if this make-believe game helped you realize a fortune.

Frias quit his delivery services job and now he's his own boss, working 18 hours a day inside his Daly City loft. With his new money, he plans to buy his first home soon.

Frias is far from being a millionaire, but he lives so well, aunts and uncles are convinced he's running an illegal gambling operation.

… Starting out six years ago, Frias sold only 178 boards, but

"Now I sell that in a day," Frias said through his chuckles. "I can live off this every year now. Fantasy football has just blown up. I can't believe it. It's gotten so big."

Frias is tight-lipped about his payoff but can reveal that the company made over six figures last year.

Cha-ching!

And if guys like Frias — who hasn't stepped inside an NFL stadium in more than a decade — can move up the tax bracket from this game, just about anyone can.

The NFL is that popular. So is fantasy football. And the beauty of it is that just about any product affiliated with it has major bankable potential.

"Fantasy football has become such a big business, there's just incredible usage online," said Chris Russo, the CEO of Fantasy Sports Ventures. "It really is a tremendous audience for all kinds of businesses."

If Russo's opinion doesn't move you, then consider that he left his job inside the NFL offices to jump on the fantasy bandwagon. Research done by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) shows that 19.4 million people are playing the games, and football attracts roughly half of that population. Advertisers love this demographic, mostly men with a lot of time on their hands and more money in their bank account, so they pay big bucks to plaster their brands on these Web sites.

Russo, who introduced the game to nfl.com in 2000, may be the exception with his NFL pedigree, but the fantasy football world doesn't discriminate.

"I had no idea when I was going to the International College of Travel in San Francisco that I would be president and CEO of a fantasy sports company," Jeff Coruccini said.

Before Coruccini and two buddies thought about creating a Web site that would predict the best starting lineups for fantasy football players, he was building search algorithms for airline companies. But his concept, www.fantasyfootballstarters.com, became so popular that Coruccini ditched his day job and now uses that college degree to advise fantasy players about the best week to start Larry Johnson or LaDainian Tomlinson.

Like Frias, Coruccini took a different approach to the fantasy game. Not everybody has to run a pay-for-play site to be successful. That said, this business isn't for everybody. Especially those with instant million-dollar dreams.

"You see a lot of companies come in and they think that they can make a quick buck," Coruccini said. "Everybody thinks 'I'm going to be the next YouTube in fantasy sports.' But you have to run it like a business. It takes time."

Frias needed several years before his idea took off, but the wait was worth it. Once a forklift driver, Frias' big aspirations never quite matched his blue-collar reality.

Ten years ago he was given tickets to the VIP section at Candlestick Park to watch the San Francisco 49ers. So he went right after work, still wearing his flannel jacket and baseball hat. Frias scanned the room and saw a treasure chest of free beer and millionaires being served hot dogs on silver trays.

"I saw how the better halves live," Frias said. "We were treated like royalty that night. I said, 'I gotta do this. I gotta live this life.'"

He's not quite there, but he's living more comfortably than ever before. Thanks to a game about fantasy.

"I love this business," Frias said. "(It helps) people live their dream."
