Comcast and Electronic Arts Team to Kick Off 2004-2005 Fantasy Football Season

Comcast, the nation's number one broadband provider, has teamed with Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS), the number one interactive entertainment company, to become the exclusive distributor of EA SPORTS(TM) Fantasy Football. In time for the 2004-2005 NFL season, EA SPORTS Fantasy Football presented by Comcast High-Speed Internet is now available to Comcast's 6 million High-Speed Internet customers via Comcast.net, the nation's #1 broadband portal*.

EA SPORTS Fantasy Football powered by STATS, Inc. and presented by Comcast offers the ultimate in control with easy-to-use tools and hundreds of customization options; live scoring, plus exclusive news, player updates, rankings, and injury reports; and exclusive prizes from EA SPORTS. Fantasy Football and the Power of 100% Pure Broadband(TM) Collide EA SPORTS Fantasy Football presented by Comcast High-Speed Internet goes beyond the traditional Fantasy Football experience. That's because Comcast has packaged the service with some of its own built-for-broadband applications and services, such as Comcast Video Mail and its online Sports Channel. For example, Comcast Video Mail - a unique service that enables Comcast customers to send video messages to any valid email address - promises to take the fantasy football "trash-talking" experience to the next level. (Note: "trash talking" is one of the most popular aspects of the fantasy sports experience. This specialized form of communication is often used for boasting and bragging; teasing league members about lackluster trades; helping to throw off competitive game plans; and generally entertaining, as league members try to one-up each other to see who can leave the funniest message.)

Meanwhile, players can get the latest information to include in their messages on Comcast's new online Sports Channel, which complements the EA SPORTS information with additional updates of scores, player interviews and reports about players' favorite teams. Trash-Talking Meets Video at Comcast.net Every Monday morning, the world's 15 million fantasy sports enthusiasts flock to their message boards, where the traditional weekly friendly bashing among league members take place. With Comcast Video Mail, Comcast is enabling its customers to take advantage of the emotional power and visual impact of face-to-face communication - and get a leg up on their "trash-talking" competition. Players can record their funniest, most arrogant and boisterous messages and then post live links to them on their message boards, which their friends can then view at their convenience (if they so dare). Comcast.net's Sports Channel - The Ultimate Guidebook Comcast's Online Sports Channel features best-in-class sports content, coupled with built-for-broadband applications, to deliver pertinent information, customized the way users want. The Scoreboard provides users with a listing of in-progress scores and daily schedules, while The Assistant allows users to track the scores from their favorite teams. The Sports Fan, Comcast's innovative broadband multimedia player for sports news updates and video highlights, completes the package, enabling users to quickly search for the information they need for that unforgettable post or Video Mail to the message board.
