Does this still work? #1

Was just wondering if this still worked. Noticed it hasn't been updated since 2009.

I doubt it! I don't play fantasy football any more, but I would be shocked if ESPN hasn't updated their website since 2009.

(At the time, they didn't have an API or a mobile app, so this had to work by simulating a web login and scraping their HTML pages. This is a very fragile process, since it will break if they change their page even a little bit.)
