Randy Moss returned to the Minnesota Vikings yesterday as the latest victim of the Patriot Way, the “get out while we can still get draft picks for you” way. After all, there is no “pay” in Patriot…err, wait, that doesn’t seem right. While there is no “I” in team, there are two in Belichick. Above all,…… Continue reading What Randy Moss trade to Minnesota means for fantasy owners, a collection of thoughts from around the Web

Don’t sleep on Huggy, 7 more sleepers
In less than 48 hours, real, NFL football returns. Oh, how I have missed you. I’m sure that you have your fantasy football team in tip-top shape, ready to go for the season, but before you call it the total package, I have some names for your watch list. I’m doing this in place of…… Continue reading Don’t sleep on Huggy, 7 more sleepers
Friends don’t let friends draft Ben Tate
It happens in almost every draft. It’s the magazine curse. Some league member — let’s call him Pete — is convinced that Ben Tate is going to be the next superstar after they read a profile of him that was written in June. Pete is excited. Pete gets busy with other things until draft day.…… Continue reading Friends don’t let friends draft Ben Tate
Everybody’s got a Wes Welker
http://youtu.be/yioJTLumWlc He’s quick. He’s nimble. He’s the envy of every team in the NFL, which is why every team in the NFL has got to get their hands on one. Wes Welker is no longer just one NFL wide receiver recovering from a knee injury using Playboy-endorsed rehabbing techniques. No, he is more than one…… Continue reading Everybody’s got a Wes Welker
Foolish Thoughts: Marc Bulger and Sunday Night Sadness
Baseball stole our Sunday Night Football. How is that fair? Give it back, World Series. I demand it. I’m fine with baseball as long as I don’t have to sit through an entire game. In my opinion, it should be played in highlight form, jumping to the major parts and leaving out all the rest.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Marc Bulger and Sunday Night Sadness
Foolish Thoughts: Eagles pigeon-holed, Titans Patrionized and Saints crush Giants
When things get back to normal, they also have to get weird. In the same week that Drew Brees blows apart the Giants like they read their defensive playbook to him as a bedtime story, Tom Brady returns to dominance in a frozen tundra that kept the Titans quarterbacks, both of them, for throwing for…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Eagles pigeon-holed, Titans Patrionized and Saints crush Giants
Foolish Thoughts: Terrible throwbacks and games to throw back
The NFL should really give all the bad teams the same bye week. Just wait until all the worst teams have shown what they are made of, take the bottom half of the league and give them a week off to heal their wounds. Hey, we could even give the Rams a whole season off.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Terrible throwbacks and games to throw back
Foolish Thoughts: Darren McFadden is dead to me, make the Brett Favre stop and other tales of horror
Darren McFadden is the biggest fantasy football tease in America. If Keith Olbermann were still doing his “Worst Person in the NFL” segment, it would be Run DMC. McFadden is the flirt that no one ever dates, and the bane of many a fantasy football team. Draft him his rookie season? Oh, yeah, about that…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Darren McFadden is dead to me, make the Brett Favre stop and other tales of horror
Foolish Thoughts: Wherefore art thou Patriots?
These Patriots are clearly not the same team that we expected to see back on the field with Brady’s return. When New England traded Richard Seymour to the Oakland Raiders, it proved one thing: Bill Belichick will do anything for a first round draft pick. Draft picks are like crack to him. Belichick cannot refuse.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Wherefore art thou Patriots?
Foolish Thoughts: They aren’t who we thought they were
http://youtu.be/cDAq5tyfk9E Oh, Week 1, you cruel, cruel mistress. Just when we think we have it all figured out, the perfect team, the perfect season, you bring us back to reality. Yes, this week we had football — real NFL football. Football that counted! But we also saw how the offseason, that tricky devil that fills…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: They aren’t who we thought they were
