NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 13: Jay Cutler to Rebound Against Rams
We had a rough going in Week 12, missing on start calls for Matt Ryan (injury) and Jason Snelling (Michael Turner returned), while missing on all of our sleeper picks. We learned not to trust in Browns players, and that even though a quarterback (Tony Romo) is struggling and going up against a very solid [...]
2010 NFL Draft Prospect: Stanford’s Toby Gerhart
I know what you’re thinking. Anyone who knows anything about Pac-10 football knows Stanford’s Toby Gerhart. He’s not a gem. He’s a force to be reckoned with. Hell, anyone who knows college football knows Gerhart. But even though this may be fairly accurate, his name isn’t littered all over ESPN. He’s not on the covers [...]
NFL Trade Possibilities: Who Needs To Go

Michael Vick Taken Off Exempt List, Okay to Practice Jeff Garcia just cried. Now that the Eagles have Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb, Garcia, and an active Vick, decision will have to be made.

Don’t Kill The Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 1 Review
Forgive me for playing Nirvana’s “All Apologies” to the max level. But I can’t rid my shame. The guilt, dear God, the guilt. Actually, that’s a lie, but it’s not for a lack of sorrow that some of my predicted “starts” didn’t pan out. After all, I tend to follow the advice that I give [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 11): Steelers beat Titans but lose Polamalu, McFadden named Raiders’ starting RB, and more
Steelers Troy Polamalu Possibly Out With Sprained MCL Coach Mike Tomlin wouldn’t give a definite on the injury or how much time his star saftey would miss, but it’s not looking good. This isn’t good for Pittsburgh, though, as Polamalu was all over the field before the injury, while their pass defense saw a significant [...]
