YouBeQB is a new Football game playing site that will snatch up even more time from fantasy sports junkies (see Screaming Sports and FleaFlicker for examples of some of the new thinking around fantasy sports).

Watch a game on TV and play along against other players by trying to predict the next play. Users can follow professional or college games. Points are awarded for each correct play called, as well as consecutive correct calls.

John Cook has the details on investors, which include HRJ Capital (partners include Hall of Fame football players Ronnie Lott and Joe Montana, and former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Harris Barton), Bob Whitsitt, Paul Abramowitz and Bill Savoy.
