You may or may not know this, but fantasy football was invented in Oakland. Well, technically it was invented in New York, but by a group from Oakland. It was the brainchild of former Raiders co-owner Bill ‘Wink’ Winkenbach on a trip to play the then New York Titans, now the New York Jets.
With the Raiders in New York to play the jets today, CBS put together a short video re-enacting how it all went down.
Ever wonder where and how fantasy football started? The answer may surprise you.
