Expert League Team Retrospective: Fantasy Website Drunken Pirate Slapfight Expert League
About a month ago, I completed an expert draft with several fantasy football analysts and bloggers. The draft took almost the entire month of July because it was conducted with a 10-hour timer for each pick on MyFantasyLeague.com for those of us with day jobs. Psh, day jobs. The results of this draft, although mentioned…… Continue reading Expert League Team Retrospective: Fantasy Website Drunken Pirate Slapfight Expert League

How to Draft (or Not Draft) the Houston Texans Running Backs
My first draft of this article was just “AVOID THE HOUSTON RUNNING BACKS AT ALL COSTS. The end.” While contemplating whether to put that in bold or change the text to some nice shade of red, I realized my very intelligent warning doesn’t help you much. Many people, through bad luck, absent-mindedness or sadistic desires,…… Continue reading How to Draft (or Not Draft) the Houston Texans Running Backs

It’s almost football season. Training camp battles are starting, Favre is reinstated and back as an active player (which means he is thinking about retiring) and coins are flipping in Chicago to decide who will throw the rock for 2008. Smell that fresh air? Behind that freshness, the little taint of grass and sweat is…… Continue reading Training Camp Uppers and Downers
The Incredible Depth at Running Back in 2008
