You get no love for being a league commissioner. It’s a thankless job, but the good ones have the respect of their league even when they aren’t in agreement. And the very best ones have dirt on every member of the league. That comes in handy when there’s drama, when league members turn into assholes…or…… Continue reading The League S02E08: “The Tie” is No Way to Retire as League Commissioner

On the Waiver Wire: Brian Westbrook LIVES, Week 13 Pickups, and a Massive Collection of Advice to Get Your Team Right for the Fantasy Football Playoffs
I hate handcuffing.

The backups are rarely as good or as big a part of the offense as…… Continue reading On the Waiver Wire: Brian Westbrook LIVES, Week 13 Pickups, and a Massive Collection of Advice to Get Your Team Right for the Fantasy Football Playoffs
Believe it or not, Peyton Hillis is the Juggernaut and More Scoring Leaders from Week 12
I believe it was Andrew Garda who started the #Juggernaut campaign for the Peyton Hillis’ nickname. Once again, it held true this week as Hillis ran over the Panthers for three touchdowns in brutal fashion. Nothing stops that guy. Nothing. The proof of how great a nickname this is for Hillis is in the Wikipedia:…… Continue reading Believe it or not, Peyton Hillis is the Juggernaut and More Scoring Leaders from Week 12

Believe it or not, Scoring Leaders for Week 11: If you don’t have multiples, you’re just not trying hard enough
Your fantasy studs only scored once? Well, that’s just child’s play. The real studs scored twice or more on Sunday, and they should easily do the same a time or two before the fantasy football playoffs are over. Start ’em if you got ’em. Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers: 275 passing yards and 3 TDs, 55…… Continue reading Believe it or not, Scoring Leaders for Week 11: If you don’t have multiples, you’re just not trying hard enough

On the Waiver Wire: Week 10 Pickups and Shots in the Dark
I gave away a victory this weekend, and I blame Antonio Gates. With my tight end, Marcedes Lewis on a bye, I was forced to go to the waiver wire. At first, I tried to grab hot free agent Jacob Tamme, but I was outbid (FAAB league). Next, I tried for Visanthe Shiancoe but missed…… Continue reading On the Waiver Wire: Week 10 Pickups and Shots in the Dark
