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 [...]
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 [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week Six NFL Power Rankings
(I’m right behind you, little brother.) We learn something new every week. And quite frankly, as entertaining and enlightening as it has become, I’m almost sick of saying it. It’s like we’re back in the second grade. Everything is new, evolving, bright, and shining. The simplest of things can send us into awe these days, [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 16): Vick OK’ed to practice, Pats’ Mayo out with sprained MCL, Tomlinson a game-day decision, and more
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.

Fantasy Football Tier Rankings: Quarterbacks
Fantasy football rankings can only do so much. When you’re in the heated battle of a live draft, it is sometimes difficult to find a glaring difference between, say, Aaron Rodgers and Philip Rivers. You could even make that argument for the top three quarterbacks in the league; Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees. [...]
Fantasy Football Preview: AFC Quarterbacks
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 [...]
Who will take the reins from Manning and Brady?
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?
Ranking the NFL’s Head Coaches: The Bottom 16
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.
