- The first thing that we all took away from this game is the injury to Rob Gronkowski. The injury definitely hurts as Gronk does a lot more for the offense than just catch passes and spike footballs. He is one of the more dominant blocking tight ends in the NFL today and his presence [...]
This year has been notable for many things in the NFL, one being the high number of rookie quarterbacks starting. This may have had something to do with the success of 2011 rookies Andy Dalton and Cam Newton, as each started every game last year. This year there have been five first-year quarterbacks who have [...]
Tuesday, I introduced my blueprint for the Patriots offseason…if they re-sign Wes Welker. The following looks at the what the Patriots should do if they cannot sign their best wide receiver. Scenario #2 – the Patriots let Wes Welker walk This scenario would not surprise me in the least. Welker vs. Samuel It would be a [...]
Who are the 2010 New England Patriots? Are they the team that got embarrassed by the 3-6 Cleveland Browns, or the team that shredded the 6-3 Pittsburgh Steelers? We’ll find out in Week 11 when Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts (6-3) come to Foxboro to challenge the Patriots (7-2) in yet another battle for [...]
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 [...]
(Let me start by saying that I am not happy the Colts beat the Jets, I had a great title for a Jets Super Bowl preview: Get Ready for some REX on the Beach… but I digress) We were here recently. Just three years ago, the Colts were up against a team everyone was calling [...]
What’s a better scenario then a Colts-Jets matchup for the AFC Championship game? Some would argue the Chargers would be a better team, or a Patriots-Colts showdown would be a perfect way to kick start a new decade of football, but honestly, there is not greater matchup then the one presented to us. This season [...]
Happy Holidays! Sure, that greeting could refer to Christmas, Chanukah, Boxing Day, Kwanza, Festivus, or whatever else you may be celebrating nowadays. But I’m thinking of a “football-ish” reason to celebrate…it’s Fantasy Football Championship weekend! Well, for most of us. If you’re in one of those loony leagues that use Week 17 as your championship [...]
In a lot of leagues, the playoffs have begun. This is because most leagues don’t play during week 17. I don’t see why. In the SoB league, we play all the way through to the end. This means that we are in our final week of our regular season. I think playing during week 17 [...]
You probably didn’t think fumbles could happen from the sidelines, did ya? Well Sunday night in Indianapolis, that’s exactly what happened. Coach Bill Belichick, the infallible one himself, figuratively fumbled the game away, opting to go for the first down on 4th-and-2, at their own 28 yard line. And just like that, a great effort [...]
New England Patriots (6-2) at Indianapolis Colts (8-0) Time: 8:30 p.m. EST Place: Indianapolis, Indiana TV: NBC Radio: 98.5 FM – The Sports Hub It is the most anticipated match-up of the regular season. No two teams have exemplified what it means to be a champion this decade more then the Indianapolis Colts and New [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Oh it feels so good to be back. The start of the NFL season also means the start of the “Fantasy Football Report”. Once again we will be bringing you a recap of some of the best players from the previous week as well as those who did not live up to expectations. Are you [...]
I am coming to you from a barely functioning keyboard that has a missing “A” key and every key on the left side stick because some Dr. Pepper got in there and everything is covered in a delicious dried up syrup. Add this to my hard drive crashing a few weeks ago and we can [...]
