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. The fact is, LT and the Chargers were dancing around his age, declining play, and contract for the past two seasons. But [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 16 NFL Power Rankings
Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL. The team that was openly vocal about aiming for a 16-0 season, the New Orleans Saints, was handed it’s first loss in Week 15, while the team that was quiet and disciplined, the Indianapolis Colts, continued it’s march for perfection. While the top two spots remain [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 14th): Kevin Smith likely done for season, Jamarcus Russell back in starting line-up, and more
Kevin Smith Likely Out For Season With Torn ACL Early reports suggest Smith tore his ACL in Detroit’s loss the the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and that the second-year back is almost certainly done for the season. This could mean a change through free agency or the draft at the position, as Smith has been [...]
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 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 Trade Possibilities: Who Needs To Go
There is a lot of speculation surrounding several bottom-of-the-barrel teams, and for good reason. The Buffalo Bills are reportedly at least discussing trading Terrell Owens, their one-year free agent splash, while the Browns have had to fight-off rumors about parting ways with former franchise quarterback Brad Quinn, and star return man, Josh Cribbs. There are [...]
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 [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: Week 4 Start and Sit Review
(Coffee wasn’t loaded with fantasy caffeine, but he did the job.) After two straight weeks of tripping over my own suggestions, we finally saw some Start and Sit success in week four. If you check out the week four preview column, hopefully you took heed of some of the suggestions. After going 4-1 in the [...]
NFL Fantasy Game-Day Decision: Kevin Smith Starting, Wes Welker is Active, and more
(Barber should see less action than Tashard Choice.) Dwight Freeney Back For Colts, Bob Sanders Still Out This could mean that Julius Jones could still have a great fantasy day without Sanders around, but Freeney’s presence bot makes Seneca Wallace a shaky bye week fill-in, and also hurts Seattle’s overall pass offense. Indy has one [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 2nd) Marion Barber Expected to Play, “Fast Willie” Doubtful, and more
Josh Johnson is the news starting quarterback in Tampa Bay (for now), while Chad Henne takes over for the other Chad on IR (Pennington). This is old news, but still information you need to be aware of if you already aren’t, as both quarterbacks’ new roles do affect their offenses, in one way or another. [...]
