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, [...]
They aren’t supposed to be here. This was supposed to be Brett Favre’s return to the big game. They have played spoiler to one of the games all time greats. And you know what? No one cares. The New Orleans Saints have become America’s team. After the devastation that Hurricane Katrina caused, the city of [...]
With all the talk about the Jets-Colts games focusing on history, the NFC Championship is all about firsts. For all the times the Superdome has hosted a Super Bowl, a record seven and counting, this will be the first Conference Championship game. It will also be the first time Brett Favre will play in the [...]
Deck the halls, hang the mistletoe, and pour me some egg nog…it’s fantasy playoff time! If your league’s playoffs don’t start this week, they’ll likely start next week, so hopefully you’re still in “fantasy football addiction mode” and not in “wait til next year” mode. Last week, I got right down to business with a [...]
Every Wednesday, I will talk about potential fantasy football sleepers for each matchup taking place. I will go game-by-game and pick out one or two players who can most likely be found in your league’s free agent pool and explain why they can be of use to you that week. Week 14 is the start [...]
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 [...]
Saints quarterback Drew Brees made sure the Patriots didn’t capitalize on their second opportunity to knock off an undefeated team this season. The New Orleans gunslinger threw for 371 yards and five touchdowns en route to a 38-17 beat-down of the Patriots on Monday Night Football. Brees and company sent the “Brady Bunch” limping back [...]
New England has seen the best this season. They have played more undefeated teams then any other team thus far. Once more, the Patriots will look to topple a perfect team and give them the first loss of the season. However, this is not your average squad. The New Orleans Saints are one of the [...]
We’re getting down to the nitty gritty in the final weeks of the fantasy regular season. I myself have only three weeks left before the playoffs start and I am searching desperately for whatever edge I can get. In honor of this important time of the season, I am going to shake things up a [...]
Anybody else affected by the release of Chiefs RB Larry Johnson? Yeah, neither am I. Johnson only had two good seasons (’05 and ’06). He was a flash in the pan, not a reliable stud for years and years. Frankly, if you drafted him still thinking he could rush for 1,700 yds and 17 TD’s, [...]
