Chargers Release LaDainian Tomlinson: Where’s He Headed?
After a long, brilliant career in San Diego, where LaDainian Tomlinson wrote the Chargers rushing record book in a fashion that may never be duplicated, the future Hall of Famer was finally released.

NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 8th): Jim Mora done in Seattle, Eric Mangini staying in Cleveland, and more
Jim Mora Done in Seattle Mora lasted just one season in Seattle, as he guided the disappointing Seahawks to a 5-11 record and third place finish in the weak NFC West. With tons of issue in Seattle on both sides of the ball, and Seattle already axing former GM Tim Ruskell, Mora had a 50-50 [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 20th): Mike Holmgren turns down Seattle offer, Matt Ryan and Michael Turner questionable for Sunday, and more
Mike Holmgren Officially Turns Down Seattle Seahawks This wasn’t a surprise. Holmgren, formerly the head coach in Seattle, has been rumored to be very interested in the Cleveland Browns job, which entails more responsibility, and would have him working directly under the owner. Holmgren may be done with coaching, and now he wants a seat [...]
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 Quick Hits (Nov. 27th): Big Ben questionable for Sunday, Cedric Benson’s status still uncertain, and more
Big Ben Considering Sitting Out Sunday’s Game Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is contemplating sitting out Pittsburgh’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, despite being cleared to play and practicing all week. Roethlisberger is just taking the necessary precautions, and considering the bad luck Brian Westbrook and Clinton Portis are having this year with head injuries, he’s [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 12: Ryan Grant to Feast on Detroit Lions
We had a great showing last week, giving you the right calls more often than not, while posting an 11-4 record for Week 11. We suggested that you start Eli Manning and Ricky Williams, two plays that paid off big time, while a few of our sit calls, Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco, and Jay Cutler [...]
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 [...]
Week Six Start/Sit Review: Don’t Kill the Messenger
After some back and forth picks sandwiched in between unpredictable players, we finally got on track here at TRZR, having a break-out week in which our player picks for last week’s Start/Sit column gave you a record of 12-3. Starts: 4-1 Sits: 5-0 Sleepers: 3-2 Read on to see who the three duds were, why [...]
NFL Fantasy Football Start & Sit Week 6: Shockey to break out against old team?
(Wait til’ you see this kid under the lights.) Last week’s Start/Sit column brought you a mediocre 7-8 record out of five starts, five sits, and five sleepers. But week six offers much more promise. Take a look for yourself and see if you don’t find yourself in agreement. As always, mind your bye week [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 10th) Eli Manning still questionable, Jerricho Cotchery not a lock for Monday Night, and more
(Cotchery’s hamstring could keep him out.) Eli Manning Participates in Saturday Practice This just means he would probably play if he absolutely had to. But since the rush attack is operating smoothly, the defense is competing at an elite level, and they’re facing the Oakland Raiders, there isn’t much sense in rushing Manning back. Still, [...]
