Adrian Peterson will re-define the way the running back position is played. Adrian Peterson Tribute Adrian Peterson: Rookie of the Year

Dropped Stock

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

I absolutely love everything that Darren McFadden has to bring to the NFL and for the past several weeks depending on which team he went to, I highly considered him a high second round or possibly a first round selection in any fantasy football draft this season. It doesn't mean ...

Shaun Alexander (Washed Up?)

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Before the beginning of last season I made reference to Shaun Alexander being a mid-late first round fantasy draft choice and ranked his as high as the fifth best fantasy option from the NFC. Needless to say, I was completely wrong and Alexander had his worst season since his rookie ...

NFL Free Agents (Quarterbacks)

Friday, February 29th, 2008

There's not whole lot to talk about when it comes to free-agent quarterbacks, but there are a couple who can and will make a difference during the 2008 season. The real NFL season starts March 1st as these free agents will one way or another find themselves in a new ...

It’s Never Quiet in the NFL

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Every year when the NFL season ends I usually go through some sort of denial, followed by disbelief, to understanding, then finally some sort of acceptance. When May or June rolls around I become impatient, restlessness, and finally I begin feeling a low-level excitement when August approaches. (I truly don't ...

NBA GAME OF THE NIGHT

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

There is no question that tonight will offer somewhat of a playoff atmosphere after the Suns disappointing and controversial Western Conference Semi-Finals loss to the Spurs last season. San Antonio suffered their first home loss to the Suns, so expect a similar atmosphere and the same type of emotion and ...

Embrace Greatness

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Unfortunately for us Brett Favre fans we don't get to see Favre add to his legacy by having a chance at beating the only team ever to reach 18 consecutive wins in a single season. In my opinion, the Packers/Patriots playing in Super Bowl XLII would be a better match-up, ...

Why the Eagles Suck

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Don't act shocked, the Iggles suck, they're only going to get worse, and if McNabb has just a smidgen of brains, he'll leave this season and find a new home. Too many organizations would love to have and appreciate a leader such as McNabb under center. However, he may be ...

Sports Betting Gone Bad

Monday, January 7th, 2008

I know in some of my previous posts I've mentioned that I don't bet on sports and I never plan to bet on sports again. It has been nine years (1999) since the last time I made a wager on a professional or any other type of sporting event and ...

Pressure Breaks Pipes

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Most people haven't agreed with me, but I truly believe yesterday's playoff games were great and the mere fact that fans would blame the results on poor officiating, poor player performances (Todd Collins/Ben Roethlisberger), and bad coaching decisions (Mike Tomlin) shows me that they have not a clue as to ...

All Is Not Lost

Friday, December 21st, 2007

It's the same thing every NFL season; we spend countless hours during the preseason perfecting a draft strategy, participating in Mock Drafts, then we read all sorts of literature on who's going to have a big season, breakout season, and/or sleeper season. However, half what we read is true, but ...

Championship Week 16: Wide Receivers

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Last week was a down week for most receivers, but not to worry this week considering most of the top receivers are either indoors or in warm weather states. Going for single-season records or smiling favorably at their match-ups. This is the one position that you must pay close attention ...

Championship Week: Week 16 Running Backs

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

As I’ve already stated in my weekly analysis of NFL Quarterbacks, “it will be somewhat difficult to field a starting lineup in Week 16 of the NFL”. However, fielding a decent lineup on paper won’t be too difficult, but fielding a decent lineup of players that will play the entire ...

Thursday NFL Wire Tap

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

With this being the last week of the season for most fantasy leagues and most likely fantasy football’s version of the Super Bowl it is imperative that you pay close attention to your waiver wire. Some of us need help at the quarterback position, it here! Some of us may ...

Final Ten NFL Keepers for 2008

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

In most of fantasy keeper leagues owners can carry up to three players into the following season. With that in mind, 10-12 owners could potentially keep up to 30-36 players. Are there 30 players in the NFL worth keeping going into the 2008 season? I think so, considering most are ...
