Unlike me, you may not have been following all the NFL news since the offseason began. Sometimes people have lives. That’s okay — so I am told. In order for you to keep your edge and get in the right state of mind now that football is only a few months away, you just might…… Continue reading How about that Rundown: Things you should have known before the 2009 NFL Draft

10 Foolish Thoughts on Super Bowl XLIII
I had to wait until after the Pro Bowl to gather my thoughts about this year’s Super Bowl. Even though the Pro Bowl is full of overhyped drama and hated by many NFL fans, I love it. Outside of a video game, the Pro Bowl is the closest thing to two fantasy teams playing against each…… Continue reading 10 Foolish Thoughts on Super Bowl XLIII
Wild Card Weekend, Part 2: Sunday’s Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
After a day’s worth of exciting, close games, Sunday is all about defense. The Ravens, Dolphins, Eagles and Vikings have all made a habit of getting after the quarterback and stopping the run. In a playoff setting, I don’t think we see a lot of points today unless the Vikings or Eagles blow it open.…… Continue reading Wild Card Weekend, Part 2: Sunday’s Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
You’re obviously starting your studs at this point. For many of you, it’s the playoffs. For others, it’s the last week before the playoffs (and you should hate that your championship game is in Week 17, where anything goes). This week, whether you are in the playoffs are about to be, is a critical one.…… Continue reading Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Foolish Thoughts on Week 13: Tell me when it’s over
What was happened to the NFL this weekend? After the miserable Tennessee Titans clobbering of the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys butchering of the Seattle Seahawks, I thought at leas the Thursday Night Football matchup of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals might be mildly interesting. Of course, I thought it would be…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 13: Tell me when it’s over
Dude… Jay Cutler
I know the Week 10 performance might have been expected from all the praise Jay Cutler had as a fantasy quarterback to begin the season, but he did fade a bit in the last few weeks. To his credit, Cutler also created huge fantasy days for four other players with his outing — Eddie Royal,…… Continue reading Dude… Jay Cutler
A Fool and His Money in Week 10
No intro. No nonsense. This week, we’re all about the picks, now featuring “locks” of the week. Note: The ‘$’ will signify Nick’s “locks” of the week from this point forward while a ‘#’ will mark Chadam’s favorite bets. New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons Fools Take: FALCONS (+0) over Saints Nick says: I think…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 10
Dude… Steven Jackson
I usually try to stray from the obvious guys, but Jackson’s performance yesterday is too hard to ignore. Even rated as a top-five running back going into the season, Jackson had a lot of hate from fantasy analysts this preseason (including the Fools). He finally had his breakout day against…my Cowboys. *sigh* While he may…… Continue reading Dude… Steven Jackson
Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense
Who is the better Manning now? I think Peyton Manning put ex-lax in his brother’s Gatorade this week. It was time to shut up the critics. Peyton gets three touchdowns; Eli gets three picks. At least in fantasy, it looks like Peyton may have reclaimed his top spot on the Manning mantel for now. And…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense
Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
These sudden, mysterious and largely unreported injuries have got to stop. Last week, Carson Palmer was a late scratch. This week, the victim was Matt Schaub, who was hit by a virus the night before the game. I normally set lineups Saturday night and then let them run, but this sudden injury plague makes me…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
