Brady, Patriots Gobble Up Lions on Thanksgiving

By ⋅ November 25, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Dave Rayner booted a 44-yard field goal, giving the Detroit Lions a 17-10 halftime lead, and images of three weeks ago when the Browns stunned the Patriots began to appear. Were the Patriots unable to beat an overachieving team on the road? Does Tom Brady have the grit and determination to pull his team through [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 9

By ⋅ November 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

This week, I’m going to attempt to put the “fast” in “Fantasy Fast Forward.” Why? Because as I’m typing this, I’m just a few short hours away from jetting off to Las Vegas, and like any other guy I know, I’m a procrastinator and haven’t packed a darn thing yet. So instead of racking up [...]

Now that Randy Moss has played a game in a Vikings’ uniform, its pretty clear that him bring traded meant little for his owners in fantasy. However, that does not mean that the trade will not have an effect on other fantasy owners, with Deion Branch still available in most leagues. Week 6 Pickups Here [...]

With Week 1 of the NFL in the books, you and your fantasy team are in one of two situations. Situation #1: you won your first week’s match-up and you’ve got visions of fantasy football glory running through your head, all the way to your league’s championship.

NFC North Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ August 15, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Our fourth divisional fantasy preview takes us to the NFC North, a division that features heated rivalries and is filled with top notch fantasy talent. Last season, the Vikings earned the top spot in this foursome, coming ever-so-close to a Super Bowl appearance, instead losing in overtime of the NFC title game at the hands [...]

High Five/Low Five – Week 14

By ⋅ December 12, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Deck the halls, hang the mistletoe, and pour me some egg nog…it’s fantasy playoff time! If your league’s playoffs don’t start this week, they’ll likely start next week, so hopefully you’re still in “fantasy football addiction mode” and not in “wait til next year” mode. Last week, I got right down to business with a [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 3

Is it just me, or does it seem like every NFL player is made of fragile porcelain? A week hasn’t gone by yet where we haven’t seen a major injury go down. Yes, football players get injured all the time, but over the last three weeks, players are suffering injuries that are causing them to [...]

Why Have So Many NFL Coaches Been Fired?

By ⋅ January 12, 2009 ⋅ One comment

We have entered the part of the offseason where NFL teams sends a few grown men to apply for unemployment, while simultaneously employing a similar number of men in a new role. What I’m referring to is when the teams fire their head coaches (and/or coordinators). It is an annual, unavoidable occurrence. So with that, [...]

A Letter to Matt Millen

By ⋅ January 5, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Dear Matt, I am writing to you because you have managed to do something remarkable. You took a once semi-proud franchise and ran them into the ground. You took an enthusiastic fan base and made them more concerned about the Pistons and Red Wings than the Lions, in a country where that is very hard [...]

If you have a team that is under .500, then you are going to need a small miracle to make the playoffs. If you feel you are in good position, then I say it is time to look at the many weeks ahead and look at all the matchups your players will be facing. Preparing [...]
