December Chumpservations, Vol. 1: Congress vs. the BCS, running the option in the NFL, comparing fanhood and Kentucky’s John Wall
Separation of sports and state Guess what! We’re not having a national championship game this year. Sorry Texas and Alabama fans. As the nation’s top two ranked teams, you will be playing a football game in January but it won’t be for a title. At least it won’t be recognized as such by Congress. As [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 12 Review
We had a horrible week with our Start/Sit column in Week 12, and not to make excuses, but injuries to Matt Ryan and Michael Turner (again) played a helping hand in it. While we finished with a less then desirable 5-10 record on the week (counting sleeper picks), we still vouched for Week 12 fantasy [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 11: Eli Manning to Take Flight Against Falcons
We had great success in Week 10, making the right call on Brett Favre, Ricky Williams, and nudging you in the right direction on sitting Matt Ryan and Matt Cassel. We also picked some fine sleeper picks, as Matthew Stafford and Josh Freeman dropped in respectable efforts, and Jamaal Charles solidified himself as Kansas City’s [...]
NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 10: Back to the Brett Favre Magic
We had a productive Start/Sit column last week, as we took advantage of some “can’t miss” match-ups and suggested some solid starts out of Alex Smith and Ryan Grant, while made quality sleeper predictions by recommending you keep an eye on both Vince Young and Josh Freeman. Every week brings forth another collection of favorable [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Week 8 Power Rankings
(The idle Broncos lose their top spot) The unofficial “best team in the league”, the Denver Broncos, sat out week seven’s exciting action, and despite their solid play through a 6-0 record, they won’t be able to hold onto their top spot. If they weren’t already the team to beat in the NFL, the New [...]
Week Five Start/Sit Review: Don’t Kill the Messenger
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 these picks or suggested sits [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 7th) Braylon Edwards a Jet, Michael Crabtree a 49er and more
Braylon Edwards Traded to New York Jets The Browns ridded of the under-performing Edwards for Chansi Stuckey and two draft picks. This immediately causes caution for Derek Anderson’s value, but should make Mohamed Massaquoi’s value soar. Edwards, on the other hand, should develop into a fine down-field weapon for Mark Sanchez, but you should give [...]
Fantasy Football: Week Three Risers and Fallers
(Coffee will benefit from Gore’s absence.) It took one carry to change Glen Coffee’s fortunes, sending him from solid back-up to fantasy riser status. Read on for analysis on Coffee and other risers, as well as some players who are dropping in value, and are strong candidates to also be dropped from your team. Risers [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 28): Ankle to sideline 49ers’ Gore?, which Chad will start at QB in Miami?, McNabb back for Eagles after bye, and more
Frank Gore Expected Out For “at least” Two Weeks NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora is reporting that Gore will miss about two weeks with what seems to be a high ankle sprain. There are conflicting reports, but the fact that Gore only had one carry in a very close and heated battle with the Vikings, [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 23): Cowboys’ Barber hopes to play Monday night, Seahawks not sweating on Hasselbeck, Pats’ Welker still sitting out, and more
Marion Barber Still Hoping to Play Under the Lights Despite reports stating that Barber will be shut down for at least the next 1-2 weeks, Barber himself is expressing his desire to push through the pain and play against the Panthers. This might just show the rest of the league how bad Carolina’s run defense [...]
