Your fantasy football season should now officially be over. We hope you all did better than expected, and if we were any help, even better. We took this week off get our act together for the playoffs and recover from 17 weeks of fantasy football coverage. It’s grueling … but also so very, very good.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 17: Studs, Cowardly Lions and Cowbell

A Fool and His Money in Week 17
It’s craziness in Week 17. Will the playoff teams even bother to start their studs? Will the backups be decent when they get in there? We can attempt to negotiate through the darkness of the last week of the season, but in reality, we’ll just be happy to be at .500 for the season with…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 17
Week 16 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: Championship Edition
At this point, you should be starting your studs. We stopped posting all the week-to-week start posts as a result, but I do have a few thoughts to throw out this week with many of you in championship or at least playoff matches. In the Cowboy game tonight, I like Tony Romo and the Cowboys…… Continue reading Week 16 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: Championship Edition
A Fool and His Money in Week 15
Jacob here. I guess it’s time for us to stop covering up the deep, dark secret we’ve been hiding for the last several weeks. You see, we killed Chadam. It’s not that he was doing a terrible job picking spreads each week … well, actually, he really was falling off there near the end, but,…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 15
A Fool and His Money in Week 12
We haven’t had a lot of fancy talk here at the top of “A Fool and His Money” these last few weeks, but that’s because, just like any NFL franchise, we focus during this part of the season. The games start to matter more, and we’re ready to get down to business. Let’s not waste…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 12
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?
A Fool and His Money in Week 5
Chadam and Nick had a rough weekend. Nick was swamped last week trying to put together a fantasy lineup that could stop my crushing force of a team in our shared fantasy football league. Unfortunately for Nick, it looks like his efforts were in vain. Chadam, on the other hand, spent the entire weekend crying…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 5
Dude… Ronnie Brown
You knew it was coming — the “Dude” mention, not the five touchdowns against the New England Patriots. Brown, who probably sat on your bench this week, gave owners a lovely surprise when he ran in four touchdowns with 113 yards rushing against a defense that hadn’t given up a single rushing touchdown this season,…… Continue reading Dude… Ronnie Brown
A Fool and His Money in Week 2
Well, my distrust in rookie QBs certainly worked out for me. I’m going back for more. No picks for the Falcons or Ravens this week either. I’ve also noted which bet is my favorite of the week, and coincidentally for Week 2, it’s the first one on the slate. Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 2
Training Camp Uppers and Downers
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
