NFL Power Rankings through Week 7

By ⋅ October 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Week 7 may be over, but there is a lot to digest. London was forced to confront their very notion of “football,” Tim Tebow took over as a starting quarterback, and Carson Palmer came out of retirement (at least technically) for the Oakland Raiders. As I do each week, I’ll assess each team’s performance and [...]

Don’t Rush to Pick Up Carson Palmer

By ⋅ October 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After an abbreviated “retirement,” Carson Palmer was traded to the Oakland Raiders Tuesday. This news not only shook up the NFL world, but also created a rush to pick up the once elite quarterback. Palmer was one of the most added players in the league this week. His ownership rose 29 percent according to ESPN [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 13

By ⋅ December 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Welcome to Week 13 of the NFL season. By this point, you and your fantasy team fall into one of three categories… you either A) have clinched a playoff spot and are sitting pretty, just waiting for the fun to begin, B) have fallen out of contention and have turned your focus to Christmas shopping, [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 11

By ⋅ November 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After giving myself a bye week last week, “Fantasy Fast Forward” is back in action to help you down the stretch and get you into your fantasy league’s playoffs. It’s crunch time, but if you’re still reading about fantasy football, that means you must be still alive for a coveted playoff spot. And heck, if [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 8

By ⋅ October 30, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I’m not a man who’s afraid of commitment. Heck, I’m engaged (please, hold your applause)… if that’s not proof enough that I’m not a commitment-phobe, then I don’t know what is. But I’m starting to question my decision-making abilities when it comes to who, or what, I commit to. (Disclaimer to keep me out of [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 3

By ⋅ September 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-0. So are the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears, for that matter. The Minnesota Vikings are 0-2. So are the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers, all three predicted to be 2010 playoff teams. So what does that all mean, really? Are the Bucs and Chiefs bound [...]

The Couch Potato Report: NFL, PGA, MLB, VMAs, and More Fun with Acronyms

For weeks, writing this article was a challenge. The summer months brought little in the ways of big sporting events, making it difficult to hype up a lackluster docket of weekend TV each and every Friday. But now… problem solved. The NFL kicks off its 2010 season this weekend, and I for one am here [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 1

By ⋅ September 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We all love summertime. The mercury in the thermometer peaks, and so does the number of scantily clad women at the beach. But personally, I’m very happy to see the summer come to a close. Not because I want to see the lovely beach bunnies layer up for colder weather ahead, but because with the [...]

AFC North Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ August 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Into the second week of August we go, where NFL teams will all finally see action this coming weekend to open their preseason slate of meaningless games. We got our first taste of football season with Sunday night’s Hall of Fame game, which featured the Dallas Cowboys topping the AFC North’s defending divisional champs, the [...]

High Five/Low Five: Week 12

By ⋅ November 28, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

And life goes on. We’ve eaten our turkey. We’ve rooted on our local high school football team. We’ve enjoyed time with our family. Ok, exchange the word “enjoyed” with “endured” in most cases. And we’ve now woken up from our tryptophan-induced slumber. There’s nothing left to do but to focus on what’s left on our [...]

Week 9: Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em

By ⋅ November 6, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, Steven Jackson, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, Bernard Berrian, Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery, Visanthe Shiancoe, Dustin Keller. What do these players all have in common? They are all on their byes this week. Why do you care? Well, you don’t really, but consider this – out of all the players on a [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 7

By ⋅ October 28, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Me and SoB’s Chris had quite a fantasy football weekend. The two of us ended up squaring off against each other in two different leagues, including the SoB football league. We even had a mutual player in Dallas WR Miles Austin. You would think that it would be hard for either of us to root [...]

Week 6: Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em

By ⋅ October 16, 2009 ⋅ 14 comments

Breaking up is the hardest thing to do. I just pulled out that cliché because it holds true in both real life and fantasy football. Over the years, I have learned that you do not win fantasy football leagues by holding onto big names waiting for them to start producing for you. I have found [...]

Would the Real Steve Smith Please Stand Up?

By ⋅ October 8, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

It’s pretty funny how much everyone overreacts to a couple weeks of football. For example, I’ve been hearing a lot of debate this week about which Steve Smith is the better play for the rest of the season. Is this a serious question? Steve Smith (NYG) has been great this year but I am here [...]

High Five/Low Five – Week 4

By ⋅ October 3, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s put it to you in terms you guys can understand. I’ve been watching a lot of NESN lately. Between the end of the Sox season and the beginning of the Bruins’ year, NESN has been my best friend the last few weeks. So related to that, I’ve drawn comparisons from my weekly fantasy picks [...]
