About Us
RotoEvil Exists to:
A) Help you win your fantasy basketball league, and B) Edutain you in other ways.
If you’re a big hoops fan, our annual “Fantasy Basketball Draft Guide” is loaded with in-depth analysis, quality projections and ratings, and much more to prepare you for the upcoming NBA season. In 2008-09, nearly 2 out of every 3 people who used it won at least one fantasy league. And since statistics are just random numbers if you don’t know how to interpret them, we focus on breaking everything down for you.
“With a combination of numbers and insight, RotoEvil offers the kind of analysis fantasy players, and basketball fans, won’t find anywhere else.” ~Paul Forrester, SI.com
RotoEvil has been mentioned numerous times on ESPN’s TrueHoop and Yahoo’s Ball Don’t Lie. Its owner, Eric Wong, has been the featured fantasy writer for 82games.com, as well as a special contributor to SportsIllustrated.com. Over the past 5 years, Eric has won over $20,000 playing fantasy basketball, winning numerous high-stakes leagues and national contests. Now that his sound advice is available to the public, many readers and customers have also begun dominating their leagues and profiting from fantasy sports.
If you appreciate the NBA but don’t care about fantasy stats, you’ll still find plenty of interesting hoops content here, as well as topics ranging from honeys to movies to music. Education + Entertainment = Edutainment. On the internet, there are endless ways to learn new things and amuse yourself, but only the highest quality websites manage to do both at the same time. With that goal in mind, we continue to grind, grow, and evolve…
Frequently Asked Questions:
What does the name “RotoEvil” mean, and who is this “Evil E” character?
Roto is short for Rotisserie, a widely used fantasy sports term. A man named Daniel Okrent invented “Rotisserie League Baseball” in 1980, naming the league after the NYC restaurant where he and his friends used to frequent. Okrent is actually better known for being named the 1st ever public editor of The New York Times, but being the modern founder of fantasy sports as we know it is a pretty sweet claim to fame as well. Evil is short for Evil E, a nickname that was bestowed upon Eric after arriving in college and has stuck ever since. Feel free to address him as Eric or Evil E, or “Evil” or just plain “E.” While most people that know him will tell you he truly has a GOOD soul, he isn’t afraid of telling it like it is, which can ruffle feathers from time to time.
Do you also provide fantasy football and/or fantasy baseball analysis?
For those wondering, Eric used to dominate football and baseball leagues as well, but he stopped caring about those sports several years ago.
When will your 2009-2010 Fantasy Draft Guide be available?
Our estimated release date is October 1st, 2009, and of course, updates will be provided throughout all of October. Check back later for more info.
What are the different sections of the site?
As you can expect, the “RotoEvil” section is all about basketball. The “See No Evil” section includes all things visual, such as movies, art, and lovely ladies. The “Hear No Evil” section focuses on music, while the “Speak No Evil” section encompasses a variety of miscellaneous thoughts and ideas.
What happened to all of the non-basketball stuff?
During the NBA season, we don’t have as much time as we’d like to focus on other things, but RotoEvil will continue to create non-basketball content. Over the summer, we’ll publish a couple of long overdue music and movie projects.
Do you write about college basketball?
From time to time we write about college hoops, focusing on the top NBA prospects in particular. Fantasy basketball for the college game is an intriguing idea, so if that’s something that you’re interested in, please let us know.
What is the Fantasy Players Network?
RotoEvil is a member of the Fantasy Players Network, which includes a wide range of high-quality sites covering all of the major sports. In addition to partnering with USA Today, some of the major basketball sites affiliated with the FPN include: Hoopshype, Draft Express, Hoopsworld, and of course, RotoEvil.
Are you available for advertising, partnerships, and/or guest appearances?
Yes, if you are interested in some kind of advertising deal or creative partnership, we’d love to hear from you. Eric has been a featured guest on BlogTalkRadio’s RotoRadio show, and if you sweet talk him, he could make an appearance on your show as well. Please send us an email with some of the specifics.
