100th Post

Have been away for a minute, just haven’t had anything relevant to post. But it’s almost playoff time, so want to check in. Keeper football is going well, 8-4 with 3rd seed locked up and a chance to move up if I win or one of the other 9-3 guys lose. It’s not a likely [...]

When Does Trading Affect the Rest of the League? And Should You Care?

The trade deadline in my keeper football league has came and went, so there have been a few trades over the last few days (this trade season has been extremely stagnant) as owners scramble to upgrade or shore up their rosters as we head into the last 6 weeks of the regular season. As mentioned [...]

With Atrocious Teams Abounding in the NFL, Viable Options are Becoming Limited in Fantasy Football

It’s been a while, Happy Halloween Everyone!!! I have been super busy, working a lot, the school year being in full swing now, and working on my book, so haven’t been writing as much as I would like. I am 4-3 in my keeper football league, after a bonehead maneuver (more on that later) and [...]

Tony Romo

This is the Romo we are going to see most of the year. With that deep rushing attack the Cowboys are going to feature the run more, so Romo won’t be a top 5 QB and the great games (like vs TB) will be the outlier, not the norm. I dropped him with great trepidation [...]

Fantasy Football Week 3

After an anemic week 1 showing, my fantasy football team came alive in week 2, highlighted by a mind-blowing effort by Chris “Flash” Johnson, which I am sure you know about if you follow football, fantasy or otherwise. I read on CBS Fantasy Sports he’s the “sit of the week” but no way that’s going [...]

Fantasy Football Draft Recap

My twitter was acting up the Sunday during the draft, so I couldn’t tweet the draft like I wanted to, so here is the synopsis. Andy traded DeAngelo Williams to move up with Levon for Antonio Gates and the 3rd pick in the re-draft overall, which equates to a 5th rd pick. But Stat King [...]

Cutler’s departure’s impact on Marshall?

I know we are on the cusp of baseball season starting, but all this Jay Cutler cry baby nonsense trade talk has me wondering if I should keep Brandon Marshall in my keeper football league. He should be suspended as a “repeat” offender in violation for the NFL conduct policy during the beginning of the [...]

Fantasy Draft Location

I wonder what’s the strangest places for drafting is. I have done it at friends’ homes. I have done it at a sports bar and/or restaurant. I have done it in someone’s backyard. I have drafted on the phone, via conference call. Of course, with the mainstream sites like cbsportsline.com, yahoo.com, ESPN.com, etc installing the [...]

Re: Football Keepers

Per an earlier column in November, I had to decide who I wanted to keep going into next season. After raising the banner, I definitely feel a lot of pressure has been lifted. Once again, here is my quandary: I can only keep 5 of the following (plus 1 defensive player, which will be Tampa [...]

Fantasy Football MVP

Peyton Manning just won the NFL MVP award for the 3rd time. Congratulations. I never liked him, but man, no denying that he is definitely on the short list of candidates for best quarterbacks ever. Fantasy wise, he definitely scares me every time I am up against him. Now onto the topic of fantasy football [...]
