Does this fit in the gaming forum really?  Anyway, wow, this is strange.  I thought you were going to say there was a fantasy football videogame (which would not surprise me in the least), but I did not expect this at all.  Pretty funny actually.

Yeah I read an article about this in the NYT yesterday. I was wondering exactly how it worked. I was thinking that it would probably be the most boring fantasy "whatever" that is out there.

You pick 16 congress critters to be your "team". You gain points when they push a law through. Thats about it.

Of course, its a BS way to score things. Football and sports you always want to score. These are laws, though. Some laws are bad and should not go through. You don't get points when your congress people vote No on a shitty bit of legislation. This gives people a bad interpretation of how congress should work.
