Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 12

By ⋅ November 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

So for those of you who had too much turkey and fell asleep for your annual Thanksgiving Day nap before you remembered to set your fantasy lineup for the week, I’m here to save the day. Ain’t that tryptophan a bitch sometimes!?! It’s Week 12, and while six teams have already put their games in [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 7

By ⋅ October 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Maybe I missed the memo, but it seems like it’s a requirement this week that every article written that has to do with the NFL, has to make mention of the “devastating” hits to the head from Week 6. So I’ll oblige… after all, who am I to buck authority? And maybe I’m just being [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 5

By ⋅ October 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

“Everything seems to have a way of evening out for me.” About 15 years ago now on “Seinfeld,” there was an episode when Jerry had everything evening out for him. He lost a comedy gig, then five minutes later he got another one instead. Elaine threw 20 bucks out the window from Jerry’s wallet, only [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 2

By ⋅ September 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

NFC South Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ August 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The NFC South is a story of two “haves” and two “have-nots.” The ultimate “have” are the reigning Super Bowl champs, the New Orleans Saints. From top to bottom, on both sides of the ball, the Saints are stacked with stars that will no doubt have New Orleans thinking repeat, all season long. From there, [...]

Welker Returns, Pats Roll Over Falcons 28-10

By ⋅ August 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I know these games don’t count. I know it’s just the preseason. But, football is football. It can be physical whether you’re playing two-hand touch or playing in the Super Bowl. That’s why Wes Welker playing on the second game of the preseason on Thursday night is so remarkable, just seven months after a major [...]

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 [...]

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 10: Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em

By ⋅ November 12, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Have you watched that new show on ABC called Flash Forward? For those who haven’t here’s a quick summary. The whole world blacked out for 137 seconds, during which, everyone saw a vision that took place six months in the future. I’m going to stop right there because that’s all I need for this introduction. [...]

High Five/Low Five: Week 9

By ⋅ November 7, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This week in sports, we saw the New York Yankees roll to their record 27th World Series championship. The Yanks, complete with their $200+ million payroll, dished out mucho dinero in the offseason, as they always do, and after nine seasons of failed investments, their purchases finally paid off. In the fantasy football world, now [...]

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 [...]

Week 8: Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em

By ⋅ October 30, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I am frustrated. I mentioned last week how owners should get creative when dealing with their bye weeks. I shared with you how I coped with a tough Week 4 by making two trades that value-wise weren’t in my favor, but allowed me to upgrade my starting lineup – or so I thought. Let’s look [...]

Matt Ryan: The Road from Chestnut Hill to Atlanta

By ⋅ September 25, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Saturday, April 26, 2008 marked the start of a profession, the start of a journey, and the start of a steady income for 99 college football players around the country. But, for Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, this date meant much more. Born and raised in the small city of Exton, PA., Ryan was a [...]

OMG! Tom Brady is HOTT, or Not, LOL

By ⋅ September 3, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

According to recent research, apparently from teenage girls across the country, Tom Brady is only the eighth best looking quarterback in the NFL. At least BC alum Matt Ryan tops the list, with a 99.82% symmetrical face, compared with 99.14% for Brady. But, does it really matter at all? Beauty is only skin deep, and [...]
