Buyout Season: 5 Newly Free Agents That Could Join Celtics

The Celtics’ acquisitions during buyout season have been a mixed bag in recent years. On one hand, P.J. Brown, Sam Cassel and Stephon Marbury all contributed during long playoff runs. On the other hand, Miki Moore, Troy Murphy and Carlos Arroyo struggled to get on the court in their brief stints with the club. With [...]

NFL Power Rankings through Week 10

All is well in the world after the Patriots won Sunday night. My friend who happens to be a Jets fan might disagree (just a hunch based on the number of expletive-ridden texts he sent me over the course of the second half), but as far as I’m concerned, I have never had a more [...]

The Fall of Chris Johnson

Before the season, those that drafted Chris Johnson probably had dreams of playing for their fantasy championship. Unfortunately, the former 2,000 yard runner has been more of a nightmare thus far. Johnson has been one of the most coveted fantasy players of the past two years. After breaking out with a 2,006 yard rushing season [...]

NFL Power Rankings through Week 8

Week 8 brought the trend of Tebowing to an end (I hope), gave us one less team without a win, caused me to scold Chris Johnson, and led to losses by three of my top ten teams. (I’ll get over the Patriots loss eventually hopefully please don’t talk about it.) Plus, I bring you the [...]

Chris Johnson: Worth the Risk?

What a difference a year makes. Last year Chris Johnson was the golden boy of every fantasy draft, number one on almost everyone’s board. Whoever was able to land him first was ecstatic, knowing they were going to have a guy who would score at least 15 points per game, with the potential for much [...]

Celtics Back on Track in Win Over Clippers

The Clippers tried to get the better of the Celtics in L.A. once more, but with a big 3rd quarter, the Celtics beat the Clippers 99-92. Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic made their Celtics debuts, and had fairly decent ones at that. Krstic got two offensive rebounds (of his six and Boston’s 14) and the [...]

New-Look Celtics Shut Out of Final Six Minutes; Lose in Denver

When asked about the many trades the Boston Celtics made right before Thursday’s 3 pm trade deadline, many of the players said they were shocked. Thursday night in Denver, they played like it, too. The Boston Celtics did not score in the final six minutes of the fourth quarter, allowing the Denver Nuggets to go [...]

Chris Johnson Signs 10-Day Contract With Celtics

After the Celtics made three trades at the deadline, dealing Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson to the Thunder, Semih Erden and Luke Harangody to the Cavs, and the injured Marquis Daniels to the Kings. They were left with just eight players against the Denver Nuggets for a game Thursday night. As a result, Danny Ainge [...]

Why Randy Won’t Be Handy

At first glance, Randy Moss going to the Titans seems like a good outcome for the wayward wide receiver. Tennessee is 5-3, half a game out of both the wildcard and the AFC South, with two games left against the Colts. They have a good coach in Jeff Fisher, who makes smart decisions on the [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 2

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. Situation #2: you’ve got Kevin Kolb and Ryan [...]

AFC South Fantasy Preview

The next stop on the fantasy preview train brings us to the AFC South. This division has some of the best top shelf talent of them all, featuring one of the top 3 fantasy QBs in Peyton Manning, two of the top 4 fantasy RBs in Chris Johnson and Maurice Jones-Drew, two of the top [...]

Pierce’s Buzzer-Beater Has Celtics Thinking Sweep

Paul Pierce scored 32 points, including a buzzer-beating 21-foot jumper, helping the Boston Celtics defeat the Miami Heat 100-98 at America Airlines Arena in Miami on Friday night. Through the first three quarters of the game, it was a familiar re-run episode of Celtics vs. Heat. Boston’s “Big Three” and Rajon Rondo, all in double-figures, [...]

Patriots Close to Signing TE Crumpler

Multiple league sources have reported that veteran tight end Alge Crumpler has informed the Tennessee Titans (his former employer) that he has agreed to terms with the New England Patriots. Crumpler, 32, is expected to ink an official deal with the Patriots later this week. The Patriots released free agent Benjamin Watson, who signed with [...]

TGIF: Fantasy Football Draft, 2010

With the conclusion of the 2009 season, it is time to start looking ahead to the future. Although it may be too early to accurately project what the first round of the draft will be next season, it is still fun to think about. I have gotten into the habit of making my prediction for [...]

Be a Titans Fan For a Day!

Let’s be frank.  The New England Patriots had their chance to stop the Colts from making a run at its record 21 straight regular season wins.  They blew it.  Since then, The Colts struggled against the Ravens and, thanks to Ed Reed’s stupidity, squeaked away with a win.  Then they appeared to be getting blown [...]
