Posted By Kevin Roberts On Tuesday, October 13th 2009. Under Fantasy Football Tags: Austin Collie, Braylon Edwards, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Eddie Royal, Indianapolis Colts, Jeremy Maclin, Jerricho Cotchery, kevin curtis, Kyle Orton, Miles Austin, New York Jets, Patrick Crayton, Peyton Manning, Philadelphia Eagles, Pierre Garcon, Roy Williams, Tony Romo

(Edwards should be owned in all leagues.) Week five was a huge week for receivers, as several formerly back-up receivers got a shot at major action and never looked back. After we saw guys like Mike Sims-Walker and Steve Smith step-up in huge ways last week, it was nice to see ... Continue Reading

After a couple so-so weeks with some hot hits and a few mishaps, we finally ran into a week full of bad start calls. For that I apologize. But, like always, before you "Kill the Messenger" and lose all hope in yours truly, take a step back and see why ... Continue Reading

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Tuesday, October 13th 2009. Under NCAA Football

I can't exactly say that I'm too pleased about the way that some of my picks turned out last week, but when all was said and done, I came out with a winning week after falling short last week. So hey, I'll take it. My college football picks ... Continue Reading

NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 13th) Miles Austin’s role to increase, Bulger starting again for Rams, and more

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Tuesday, October 13th 2009. Under Fantasy Football, NFL Tags: Braylon Edwards, Buffalo Bills, Calvin Johnson, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Dick Jauron, Jerricho Cotchery, Kyle Boller, Marc Bulger, mark sanchez, Miles Austin, New York Jets, Patrick Crayton, Roy Williams, St. Louis Rams

Dallas Says Miles Austin's Role Will Increase I sure hope so. Austin nearly topped Roy Williams' numbers for the season with 10 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns. It's evident now that Austin is ready to start, which means someone's role will be hacked into. Roy Williams should be healthy after ... Continue Reading

Under Fantasy Football Tags: Anthony Fasano, Braylon Edwards, Brian Hartline, Chad Henne, Davone Bess, Dustin Keller, Greg Camarillo, Jerricho Cotchery, Leon Washington, mark sanchez, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Ricky Williams, Ronnie Brown, Ted Ginn Jr., Thomas Jones

(Was last week a fluke for Sanchez and the Jets?) Monday Night Football brings the best out of most teams. Sadly, though, in recent history at least, it rarely does so for both teams competing on the same night. However, with one exceptional comeback win by the Jets back in the day ... Continue Reading

1. Tim Tebow, QB, Florida: I wasn't exactly for Tebow taking the field against LSU, but even though he didn't exactly have a monster game, he did more than enough and even showed a little of the Tebow that we're used to seeing. Last Week (13-3 W at LSU): 11-16, ... Continue Reading

The dangers of playing ‘favorite hands’ in poker

Posted By Chris Humpherys On Monday, October 12th 2009. Under Uncategorized Tags: Doyle Brunson, Poker

I was playing poker with the usual cast of characters the other night when someone said something aloud that I’m sure we’ve all heard at the poker table before. The guys I’ve been playing with lately are a pretty vocal group, particularly when it comes to the hands they play. ... Continue Reading

(Thumbs still up for Collins?) Titans Standing Behind Kerry Collins Head coach Jeff Fisher stated that the Titans are not moving on from Collins to Vince Young at the quarterback position, despite Young seeing garbage time in their loss to the Colts on Sunday night. The Titans are 5-0, however, and despite Collins ... Continue Reading

Dominant defense, not offense, fuels Florida victory

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Sunday, October 11th 2009. Under NCAA Football Tags: Brandon Spikes, Florida Gators, Jordan Jefferson, LSU Tigers, SEC, Tim Tebow, Urban Meyer

As much as I was against Urban Meyer sending Tim Tebow out against LSU, I nor anyone else was the least bit surprised that he started for #1 Florida. Nor was I surprised that he was in the game the entire way. Given the short and long term risks of ... Continue Reading
