Bengals (-5.5) over BROWNS The Bengals beat the Packers and Steelers in back-to-back games. The Browns finally benched Ms. Quinn, but Derek Anderson somehow managed to play worse in his second half debut. I have to imagine it’s tough for anybody to like the Browns in this one. Lions (+10) over BEARS The first step…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money – Week 4

Shameless Plugging: Surprising Receivers and Disappointing Starts
While imagining the possibilities of Vince Young returning to his starting job — Hey, it could happen… Maybe? In special packages? — I contributed to a few other articles around the Web that I just wanted to share. While a little outdated after Laurent Robinson’s injury this week, I participated in the Fourth & 1…… Continue reading Shameless Plugging: Surprising Receivers and Disappointing Starts
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: You complete me, 2009 kickoff and site enhancements
The Hall of Fame game was everything I thought it would be last night — a little bit of football surrounded by a media frenzy of interviews.

A Six-pack of Quarterbacks to Remember in 2009 for Dynasty Teams, Keepers and Sleepers
As the NFL draft approaches, we all get a little antsy for football season to start. We start salivating over the latest and greatest rookie talent and their the flashy 40-yard dash times, and we forget about all the players from last year’s draft, the ones we talked up to our buddies every Saturday watching…… Continue reading A Six-pack of Quarterbacks to Remember in 2009 for Dynasty Teams, Keepers and Sleepers
Week 17 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: Championship Edition?
First of all, why are you guys still having your championship in Week 17? That’s like playing a game of chess for hours only to bring in toddlers to play out the final three moves. Why would you do that? And where did you get chess-playing toddlers? This week, I absolutely love everyone involved with…… Continue reading Week 17 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: Championship Edition?
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
On the Wire: Week 17 Pickups and Players Still Playing
Is it true? Do I really have to mention David Carr this week? Somehow, he managed to find his way onto a team that is so set for the playoffs that they don’t mind starting him. Punch me in the kidney. If you’re still playing this week in Week 17, there’s not much I can…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 17 Pickups and Players Still Playing
