ON Networks Presents The 5-Minute Drill, the Only Fantasy Football Show for the iPhone

AUSTIN, Texas (BusinessWire EON) August 15, 2007 -- The 5-Minute Drill is the first and only fantasy football video series available on any iPhone, iPod, Apple TV and computer. The high-definition shows can also be seen on www.onnetworks.com and http://subscribers.footballguys.com/podcast/5md.php

For nearly 15 million fantasy football fanatics and newcomers alike, The 5-Minute Drill - with Footballguys hosts Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom - provides lightening-speed analysis and tips to help fans make their weekly decisions, including how to maneuver the draft, trades and waivers to keep their teams in championship contention. PC Magazine recently called the Footballguys "the most in-depth fantasy football site on the Web."

"You can't watch every game, so we do it for you," says Bloom, who co-hosts the Footballguys' "The Audible" podcast with Lammey. "Every week, The 5-Minute Drill will make sure you know about the most important developments that could affect your fantasy team."

The 5-Minute Drill kicks off August 15, with three weekly draft specials dedicated to an overview of the year's best running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks just in time for the draft. New episodes will air every Wednesday, giving fans the most relevant tips to make their plays for the weekend, including a look at the five most newsworthy players in each of the RB, WR and QB positions, and a fast-and-dirty "No Huddle" segment with last-minute thoughts for the upcoming line-up.

"Fans are looking for more ways to follow and participate in the sports they love," says Jen Grogono, co-founder and vice president of content at ON Networks. "We're here to deliver on-demand shows that are informative and entertaining - and that includes giving fantasy football fans the information they need, when and where they want it."

A Look At UK Soccer
The FA Premier League Partnership, also known as UK soccer, was first founded in 1992 and is a league that is reserved for the top UK soccer clubs in the English system.
