Playing Probability: A Mid-Season Late-Round Quarterback Report

3rd of November, 2012

I wrote The Late Round Quarterback because I wanted to share a secret. It started last October. I needed a little spark to my every day work, so I opened up a Word document and just started writing. Chapter headlines turned to actual content, and the white space in my document became crammed with tables […]

Reaction Monday: Matthew Stafford Defies Logic.

30th of October, 2012

Raise your hand if you benched Matthew Stafford this week. Don’t worry, my hand is raised too. Before you destroy me for even owning Stafford, I got him in a late-round last year in a keeper league. I kept him for $4 of my $200 auction budget this season. Now that that’s out of the […]

Value: Why Do We Lose Sight After the Season Starts?

27th of October, 2012

There’s a purpose, or objective, associated with everything you do. You go to the gas station. Why? Because you need gas. Your car won’t run without it. You slip in your Madden disc for some gaming. Why? Because you want the enjoyment of seeing your beloved Browns actually win a game. Everything you do, there’s […]

Week 7 By the Numbers

24th of October, 2012

Arian Foster is out of this world. We’re all talking about Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees and what they’ve done over the last few weeks, but where’s the Arian love? He’s scored a touchdown in every game except for one. He’s already got 9 on the ground, which is 4 more than any other running […]

Reaction Monday: Fandom and Fantasy Football

22nd of October, 2012

I’ve let it be known that I’m a Steelers fan. Getting that snippet of information out of the way was important so that, while you read my columns, you know there may be a slight subconscious Steelers’ bias. I really don’t believe I favor the black and gold in my fantasy analysis though. You can […]

Week 6 By the Numbers

16th of October, 2012

I love when crazy things happen in the NFL. You know, like two weeks ago when Brian Hartline went off. That‘s the kind of performance that makes me come back to the NFL and fantasy football. Those kind of games that make us scratch our heads, and sometimes, question humanity…I love them. They’re what make […]

Reaction Monday: Shonn Greene is a Seoulja.

15th of October, 2012

They just want to be like us. Lighter skin, Levi Jeans, McDonalds and American first names are all something South Koreans are fond of. They like the typical American pop music. And hamburgers – they love hamburgers. They just want to be like us. Yet, they’re missing one big piece of American culture. You see, […]

Week 4 By the Numbers

3rd of October, 2012

I couldn’t help but smile as Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Drew Brees all put up statistically favorable numbers in Week 4. It gives those early-round quarterbackers hope. They think to themselves, “Hey, Colton (this is Colton’s head talking, by the way). You did a good job drafting Aaron Rodgers fourth overall. Go get yourself […]

Reaction Monday: Brian Hartline did what?

1st of October, 2012

I didn’t realize what Brian Hartline’s stat line looked like until he caught an 80-yard touchdown from Ryan Tannehill in the 4th quarter. And even after the touchdown occurred, I still didn’t believe it. How could Brian Hartline catch 12 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown against one of 2012’s best defenses? Better yet, […]

Current Exchange Rates: Week 4

28th of September, 2012

This past weekend was simply crazy. You know scoring was not going as expected when 2 of the top-5 scoring quarterbacks for the week included Christian Ponder and Jake Locker. All across the board there were several studs who put up dud numbers, while the typical pedestrian players bursted out for big days. It happens. […]
