Be a Titans Fan For a Day!

By ⋅ December 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Rajon Rondo Wants to Race Chris Johnson

By ⋅ December 2, 2009 ⋅ 7 comments

It seems that Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo wants to start a new tradition in December besides singing carols, roasting chestnuts, and playing Christmas Day games: challenging star athletes to 40-yard foot-races for cash. Last December, it was Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter who set world record after world record at the 2008 Summer [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 12

By ⋅ December 1, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

In one of my leagues, I have lost two straight weeks. Normally, I wouldn’t dwell on it, but in both losses, I have lost only because I made a last minute roster move. Every Sunday, I make a frantic re-arrangement of my roster before the first kickoff. Two weeks ago, if I had played WR [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 10

By ⋅ November 17, 2009 ⋅ One comment

All week long I was told that Ladell Betts was questionable for Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, and even if he did play, he would be in a committee. So, I benched him. Instead, he rushed for 114 yds and a TD. If I had played him, I would have won my matchup. Oh, [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 8

By ⋅ November 3, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

I think it is time that we made it official. Next season, nobody should draft LaDainian Tomlinson in the first round. I know, I know, he used to be a great back and was fantasy football’s most dominant player. I myself never had the pleasure of having LT on any of my football teams, and [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 5

By ⋅ October 13, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I just watched “Little Giants” on television the other day. I also watched Monday Night Football last night and saw the semi-resurgence of Jets WR Braylon Edwards. It just made me think that Edwards is like the Little Giants WR “Hot Hands” Hanon, the WR who constantly dropped passes. Maybe Edwards learned to catch the [...]

High Five/Low Five – Week 3

By ⋅ September 26, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Yikes! After an opening week where yours truly was clicking on all cylinders, Week 2 went over like a fart in church. Let me quickly review my picks from last week, a set of players that can only be termed as “a major flop.” High Five Picks (Week 2 Results) Leon Washington: Just 58 rushing [...]

Week 3: Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em

By ⋅ September 24, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

Twitter is a wonderful thing. I mean, who doesn’t want to know what everyone is thinking at all times? How else would I know that Rodney Harrison thinks the Patriots are going to have trouble covering Tony Gonzalez this weekend? Or that Jonathan Stewart ate some chunky soup last night and likes the new Jay-Z [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 2

By ⋅ September 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

When it comes to drafting, I think I need to rethink my WR strategy. In my two leagues, both of my WR groups suck. This includes Denver’s Eddie Royal on both squads. I really do think that I would be better off just streaming receivers each week much like some people do with defenses and [...]

What the NFL Kickoff Special Taught Us

By ⋅ September 12, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

You have to hand it to the NFL; they know how to put on a show. The NFL Kickoff Special had it all: fireworks, huge musical acts, and a hard fought, old-fashioned game of football. The Steelers and Titans duked it out in what was a battle of the defenses. There were four Titans sacks, [...]

High Five/Low Five – Week 1

By ⋅ September 9, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. We’ve braved the brutal cold of winter. We’ve weathered the wet spring and early summer. And now that September is upon us, we find ourselves on the eve of yet another NFL season. And for you fantasy football freaks, this week marks the first of many where you’ll find [...]

TGIF: What Do You Do With the 5th Pick in 2009?

By ⋅ August 28, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

This question has been pondered by scholars and other great literary minds since…well, when player rankings came out a few months ago. Picture this scenario: you are “rewarded” with a top-5 pick in a fantasy football draft. Unfortunately, this is 2009 and you have the fifth overall pick. Let’s face it, you were banking on landing [...]

TGIF: Fun With Fantasy Football’s First Round

By ⋅ July 24, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s be honest for a moment. Trying to prep for a fantasy football draft is borderline useless. It is without question the most unpredictable of all the fantasy games (well, the major ones anyway…who cares about fantasy NASCAR?). Thanks to its small number of games and high risk of injury, attempting to project player stats [...]

Fantasy Football Focus: The Starting 11 – Top Dawgs

By ⋅ July 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been said that first impressions go a long way. You get introduced to someone for the first time and you accidentally spit on them when greeting them, they are going to remember that forever. Go on a job interview with a glob of hair gel hanging from your ear, a la Ben Stiller in [...]
