My initial reaction to Mike Shanahan being fired as head coach of the Denver Broncos was shock. However, as an avid fantasy football player and an Oakland Raiders fan, my glee over Shanahan being let go couldn’t be submersed for long. This guy and his disdain for fantasy football, always leaving fantasy owners guessing who [...]
I am definitely relieved that I no longer play in leagues that count week 17 so there’s no more wondering about whether to sit or start certain guys, especially if they are superstars (i.e. Peyton Manning). I don’t have a big disdain for having the championship decided in week 17 like many fantasy owners because [...]
It has taken me almost the whole week to write this post mostly because I have been swarmed with baseball signings (highlighted by Mark Teixeira) and the holiday season. The other reason is that I am still incredulous I that I won the league this year. I have had two players overperforming their draft status [...]
I am a little surprised that Randy Johnson didn’t go to a contender, but it makes sense since no one is going to give his 45 year old arm more than a one year deal at a fraction of what he used to make, plus he’s familiar with the NL West and would love to [...]
Yes, that was a long dinner break. It was so long that I am finishing the post(s) tonight. I actually fell asleep and just got home not too long ago. Moving right along, CC should be amongst the first pitchers taken, most likely first or second, with him and 2008 NL Cy Young winner Tim [...]
First of all, hope everyone and their family is having a fantastic holiday season. I know I am having a pretty solid holiday season, with many things to be thankful for and have gotten some really sweet gifts. Of course, a substantial part of what I received (at least for the readers’ purposes) is finally [...]
The Angels have always been my favorite American League team (The Cincinnati Reds are my favorite baseball team period), so the 2002 World Championship team really managed to capture my imagination with its relentless hustle and infectious joy. Guys like Tim “King Fish” Salmon, Darin Erstad, Garret Anderson, Troy Glaus, and Troy Percival have been [...]
Let me be the 1st to congratulate our gracious fantasy blog host in winning the Football Keeper League Championship. A herculean feat was accomplished; Goliaths with 12-1 and 11-2 records were slayed in the process. Hard work and wits. Well done!
I, like most fantasy baseball players, have always been enamored with pitchers of A.J. Burnett’s ilk when he was coming up as a youngster on the Florida Marlins (via the New York Mets farm system in the Al Leiter trade): big, strapping, with electrifying stuff to match, and all those strikeouts that came along with [...]
Every July I like taking a reprieve from the unforgiving Jersey Shore heat at the local supermarket or Barnes & Noble to peruse the magazine aisles for the annual fantasy football magazines. I am usually still in contention in my fantasy baseball keeper league, so it’s merely a formality to check out the mags instead [...]
