It's that season - everyone is getting their last minute fantasy football drafts in and getting ready for kickoff. Yahoo! is lending a helping hand with their Fantasy Football '09 app. If you are in a Yahoo! league, this is one app you don't want to be without. It gives you the ability to manage your roster, check live scores, add/drop players and check stats. This can give you that little edge by always being able to manage your team and check in no matter where you are. Yahoo! Fantasy Football '09 is totally free and you can grab it from BlackBerry App World.

Yahoo! Fantasy Football '09 Now Available for BlackBerry
any app 4 storm 2
and app 4 storm 2
This app does not support the storm. I was excited to use it, but now I'm just disappointed.

The m.yahoo.com/fantasy works fine. A lot better than just going to the regular page through your browser (where you had to scroll down through all the ads and it took FOREVER to get to your team, especially if you played in multiple leagues and/or sports).
But that is NOT the app. Click on the App World link above and you can see screenshots. The picture they show looks different and I think it will show StatTracker differently. They only have support for 3 BlackBerry devices so far, which sucks.
I can't believe that they didn't give this app support for the storm. I emailed them about it and I suggest all of you do as well. Maybe if they see how many of us need it for the Storm they'll change their mind....oh how nice it would be!!!
I mean, how do you put players in your lineups and put players on the bench? I know I am not a retard!
whats with skipping the storm on supported devices.
top notch bogusness
And Blackberry wonders why the IPHONE is so popular.
has anyone found a workaround for this? it's worthless if i can't login. I have a proper yahoo ID, i can login through the webpage, but not through the app.
I can't login either. I changed my password as suggested by another commenter above but it didn't matter.
Ok all you Storm lovers, here is an easy way to get this app. Go to WWW.EDLIndustries.com and download the Yahoo Fantasy Football Launcher. then just log in and it will work fine on the phone.
Where do I go once I go to WWW.EDLIndustries.com? I am a novice when it comes to doing some of these things on the Blackberry.
Thanks so much! It worked perfectly. To find it, just go to sports and scroll down to "other sports".
IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't let me DL it. Not supported device or carrier. :(
The STORM is not able to get yahoo FF??? Time to change to the iphone!!! F blackberry!
i cant seem to find it, am I looking in the wrong spot?
I tried to download it says that it doesn't work for my phone and service. I only have the most popular BB ever in the Curve and I have the largest network in Verizon! How lame!!!
Works very well. Is the App just a shortcut to the website or is it different all together? If its a short cut I'll just save the App memory and use the website.
Just go to the website
http://m.yahoo.com/fantasy
Just go to the website
http://m.yahoo.com/fantasy
SF Punkers suggestion above works and well enough that the app isn't really important.
What has two thumbs and mobile fantasy football access?
Not storm compatable!!
bohoooo :(
I installed App World just to download this app for my Storm. Epic Fail...
I was seriously pissed since it wasn't made for the Storm, but really just go to http://m.yahoo.com/fantasy and it will take you to a page that tells you it's unavailable, but just below that message is a Sign In option, so just sign on and it will bring up the page and it looks just like the app. I made a change to my lineup just fine! Bookmark that ish!
i have a curve and storm and it doesn't support either
I have an Tmobile 8900 connected over Wifi (with UMA showing) and the app says that the network is unavailable. If I disable Wifi/UMA, the app works. Anyone know a fix for this?
why is this app not for the storm? seems odd
Just go to Yahoo.com on you browser and click on Fantasy Football. Once you are logged in you can view your league, edit your lineup and add/drop players. It may not look as "pretty" as the app, but it doesn't take up any of your memory.
It goes without saying that no Storm support is ridiculous. I was SOOO excited when I first saw on CB that there was an app as the two leagues I am in are on Yahoo. I will be emailing Yahoo also to ask them why there isn't a Storm version.
Where is the 8300 Love at. This stinks
Storm > http://m.yahoo.com/fantasy > logged in with my rocketmail account, went right to my league and made a roster change ... no problem. What advantage would there be having yet another clunky app installed on my Storm?
Of course no storm support, which really sucks... I emailed yahoo to find out why and when it might be coming out for storm.... no answer yet !!!!
Just sayin
I just went to into m.yahoo.com/fantasy and it is working just fine.. I logged in w/"myusername@yahoo.com" not just "myusername"
I see all my leagues. I am able to edit line-ups.. I see match-ups in my head-to-head leagues
Apparently, this app gives no love at all to the Storm.
...you are not missing anything. This app is a certified POS
The last I checked the Curve 83xx is the best selling phone in the United States. Not having an app for this model is completely shortsighted. Screw you Yahoo!
I was unable to log in with my password that contained numbers, i changed my password on yahoo to only letters and it allowed me to log in. So you need to dummy down your passwords and be hackable in order for you to log in. Try it it worked for me.
I've got the Tour and the app works flawlessly!
It is amazing, exactly what I needed to manage my team.
I've had no issues at all.
If you've got a Storm maybe you should take this as a hint...get rid of it. I did and it was the best decision I've ever made.
You might be right. The iphone is looking better and better. 1 platform instead of 45 insures compatibility.
was looking forward to this....and then of course no love for us stuck on 4.5!
C'mon.....................
So Yahoo made the app for the iphone but not the Storm? Way to go Yahoo!
Cant get this to work for some reason, login info is correct but still says its wrong. Anyone have any ideas?
I can't figure it out either. I must be missing something or it's not available.
That's great that it is available, but does me no good for the Storm!!
bs, stinks, etc etc. Seriously, lame-o-rama.
"This application is not available on your device (Storm) or for your carrier (Verizon)." This sucks I was so friggin excited. I'd like to punch the developer in the face....grrrrr
Has anyone else tried this out on a 9630? It's possible that I'm just fantastically dim (it's been known to happen) but I can't for the life of me edit my roster. The edit roster screen doesn't offer any clear way to _do_ anything. The only option in the menu is just "Back to Team".
I click the trackball and then click start it takes you to the edit screen
I have the STorm it saying not compatible with Device.
Downloaded to my TMO 8900. Cannot login with my Yahoo ID or Yahoo email address. Keeps saying login failed.
once again, us storm owners get the shaft!
Beats me why there are 147 different leaks for all the other models except for the most popular in terms of ownership for BB's. I'm not being greedy here and asking for a leak of 5.0.... Just @ least 4.6 so we can join in on the fun of fantasy football.... Let's go RIM, let's go...
I keep getting network unavailable on my Tour when I use my sbcglobal.com yahoo email address. When I goto the website everything works fine.
no storm support, lame!
Get with it yahoo, this app is horrible!! Can't even sign on using my YMail account!!! useless app!!
its not hot a lot of these new apps are leaving the curve out cause it is only for OS 4.6 and upp!!!! show us 4.5 cats some love!!!!
It's not available for the 83xx?
Way to go, Yahoo.
Sheez, nothing like locking out users of the most popular BB device lines.
I'm reading that if you go to the webpage on your Curve 8330 you can still log on to your Yahoo FF account...everytime i try i get "Fantasy Football '09 is comming soon. Please check back on September 8th." WTF???
The app is not ready for prime time, I guess.
While you're venting here...send Yahoo a message here: http://feedback.help.yahoo.com/feedback.php?.src=YMOBGENERAL&.done=http:...
Just go buy the MYFANTASY TEAMS app for 3.99. It works with Yahoo only and it is fantastic! I have a Storm and didn't have any issues with getting it going. Simple and everything you need to get it on your phone! DO IT!!
Doesn't appear to work with any non Yahoo.com email address.
Come on yahoo - get with the program here.
Won't let me sign in w/ a Ymail.com user id.
This sucks!
double ditto
Here is the link to the page where you can get the fantasy football app. Good Luck.
http://mobile.yahoo.com/fantasy
I AM ANGRY
ditto
if u cant download this app, you can still go to yahoo on your browser and sign into your league and make changes that way. thats what i did last season. it even worked during the playoffs while i was in Nigeria and had no internet access.
hellz yea. this is gonna come in handy this season. i'm in 3 leagues, and this is gonna help me win them all...again
This will def come in handy on my Bold to keep up with all my teams. Thanks!
Garbaaaaage.................. looks like im stuck with myfantasy battery drain
This is the only website I use for my FF leagues.....and how do they NOT make a STORM supported application??? UUGGHH!!!!!
freakin storm!
Running 5.0.0.190 on the 8900. Obv, no App World. Anyone got a OTA link to this or a direct link to maybe yahoo or something. Much appreciated.
As usual.... No Storm Support yet...
So, I guess I need to find another option!
BUMMMMMMER!
