The top ten picks of a Fantasy Football draft is fairly self-explanatory, no matter the format or scoring settings. It's simply, really. If you have a league the has two quarterbacks starting, getting Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, or Tom Brady with your top pick isn't a bad move. If your league has three running backs starting, you would be doing yourself a favor to get the best three running backs available—and so on and so forth. But what few people realize, is that ...Read More

Free agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress should be eligible to play in 2009. On Monday, June 15, his weapons-possession case was adjourned until September 23. Burress, who shot himself in the thigh with an unlicensed gun at a nightclub last November, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and could face a minimum of three and a half years in prison if convicted. His attorney, Benjamin Brafman, believes a plea agreement is unlikely. Now, you're probably thinking, "Matt, his case ...Read More

It's June, which means all of those premature NFL power rankings and fantasy football rankings are no longer, well, quite as premature. While everyone (including myself) is discussing LeBron James and his handshake phobia, the Magic and the Lakers, or Bruno's fall into Eminem's lap, I've decided to take that free fall dive into the loving arms of fantasy football. And yes, the fantasy realm loves me back. However, let's pace ourselves. After all, it is in fact the first month of summer ...Read More

It's inarguable. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are, without question, the best two quarterbacks in the NFL. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. They are 1 and 1a. Which order? That's up to you. However, seeing all the hoopla surrounding Brady's return to Patriots' OTAs got me thinking. When will their reign end?

With the exception of a few moves left to be made (for wide receivers, for example), NFL teams have completed the bulk of their offseason moves. Which five teams should head into the summer feeling good about what they've done so far in the offseason? 1. Dallas Cowboys It may not seem like much, but promoting Roy Williams (receiver) and releasing Terrell Owens is going to be a big deal. Owens, as good as he was, has probably started to decline, ...Read More

Every year experts discuss their reasoning for their Super Bowl favorite, or they are forced into providing an excuse for a certain team not making the playoffs. Far too often are quarterbacks placed under the microscope, injury-riddled offensive lines torn apart, or prima donna wide receivers bashed in online blogs. When do the coaches go under fire? While it'd be foolish to think they never are under scrutiny, assuming they're held responsible even half the time would be, well, incorrect. Example: What is the reason ...Read More

With every draft that comes and goes, we're reminded both of the stars that emerge out of it, as well as the over-hyped duds that never establish themselves. For every sack-machine or touchdown king, there is a Dan Wilkinson or Curtis Enis. The trick is, who are these guys, and how can NFL general managers stay away from them? While it's much too late for the NFL decision-makers to catch the signs now, it's up to The Red Zone Report ...Read More

Am I the only one who finds a little amusement in the fact that the Denver Broncos have approached the Cleveland Browns about a trade for Brady Quinn? The fact that Quinn has even been on the trade block (and Cleveland's open lusting for USC's Mark Sanchez) is rather curious in itself, and something to be discussed in another post, but that the Broncos are an interested party is both curious and humorous, given what‘s happened over the last few months. ...Read More

While everyone else might be wondering what the St. Louis Rams are going to do with the #2 pick, where Mark Sanchez is going to go, what trades are going to happen on Saturday, and many other supposedly important questions relating to the 2009 NFL Draft, my head’s on one much more pertinent topic. If Matt Millen is anywhere on the premises for tomorrow’s draft, do the Detroit Lions have a restraining order in place to keep him from ...Read More
