Week 12 Pickups: Grumble, grumble, disappoint

It’s been a rough two weeks. In what I would call my “main league” I’ve watched what I felt was a playoff contender fall apart in the last three weeks, and those losses are going to cost me a chance to compete in the playoffs this year. It’s really more painful to be so close…and…… Continue reading Week 12 Pickups: Grumble, grumble, disappoint

Rashad Jennings is the new MJD in Week 8 Pickups

It’s horrible to watch your stud running back go down with an injury. It’s especially horrible when you don’t own his backup. But it’s incredibly joyful for all of us surfing the waiver wire. After DeMarco Murray went down last week and opened the door for two potential running back pickups Felix Jones and Phillip…… Continue reading Rashad Jennings is the new MJD in Week 8 Pickups

This Kevin Smith is not Too Fat to Fly in Week 12 Pickups

I can’t be certain that I covered all of this week’s best waiver wire grabs because, to be honest, after Adrian Peterson went down and rode out of the stadium on a cart, I went into shock and then into a hysterical state from which I am only now emerging.

The big names are Tim Tebow and Jackie Battle this week, but it’s really all about Tebow. He was a stud when he got the chance to start last season.

Feel free to ask…… Continue reading Tim Tebowing is half the Battle in the Week 6 Pickups

Foolish Thoughts: Magical phone refresh voodoo makes Vernon Davis score touchdowns

I got stuck watching the New England Patriots abuse the Tampa Bay Buccaneers across the pond in London during the early games. I thought we sent this game overseas so that no one here would have to watch it?

Hair Model Mock Draft 2009: Tweaking the System

There was actually a mock draft that I participated in last week besides the one that I let the ESPN autodraft bot destroy by filling the bench with quarterbacks.

Random ESPN Mock Draft: Results May Vary

Last week, in the process of participating in a mock draft with several other fantasy football writers from the Interwebs, I got stuck inside of a random ESPN draft outside of the one we were using for the official mock draft.
