Foolish Thoughts on Week 15: I’m all out of love, so lost without you

It was hard to bring my thoughts together between fits of extreme sobbing after watching all the football games in a very serious, totally masculine way this weekend. Yes, I lost at Nick’s hands this week, one game away from the championship … in a game where I was “projected” to win by 50 points.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 15: I’m all out of love, so lost without you

Congrats, fools. If you’re still following pickups at this point in the season, you made the playoffs.

On the Wire: Week 14 Pickups and Playoff Late Bloomers from Week 13

Now, don’t go quitting the waiver wire on me because you are in the playoffs.

Foolish Thoughts on Week 12: What happened to my weekend

As you might have guessed, my weekend didn’t quite go as planned. You see, I got a new day job in Dallas — and no, it’s not as backup quarterback for the Cowboys despite the fact that Brad Johnson didn’t put up much of a fight. If you’d rather skip the story and get straight…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 12: What happened to my weekend

On the Wire: Week 12 Pickups and Waiver Wire Remains from Week 11

By now, you’re probably headed in one of two directions with your team: prepping for the playoffs or moping in a puddle of your own tears.

Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

There’s a lot of hotness this week, and many players not on a bye might have their best performance of the season for you.

Cedric Benson — let that sink in…… Continue reading Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

A Fool and His Money in Week 8

Editor’s Note: This week might be the lowest point in the life de Chadam. I’m pretty sure I walked in on him and Terrell Owens having a group cry. He’s really gone off the deep end.

It’s very likely that you have already tried to snag some of these guys.
