I know this is a fantasy football blog, but you can’t play the pretend game without its football core. And the sport– through the media and other outlets – has this bizarre debate being talked about to near exhaustion: Just who is the NFL’s best offensive rookie? The debate differs completely when analyzed from a […]
When you start a new job, nobody really expects you to know everything about the company and your daily tasks during your first week. You get to work, meet new people, get acclimated to processes and slowly immerse yourself in your new environment. As the weeks go by, expectations change. You slowly begin to understand […]
The moment happens all the time. It’s usually at the end of the set of the early games, where all kinds of teams are coming back or putting up some massive yardage totals in garbage time. It’s the moment; the moment your team gains 30 fantasy points in a matter of seconds. It’s that moment […]
You’ve developed a relationship with plenty of NFL players over the years through fantasy football. Deny it all you want, but I can guarantee you there’s someone on your team, right now, that you’d take a bullet for. You drafted Jamaal Charles in 2009. And since then, you’ve had dinners together, saw a couple of […]
Every Autumn Sunday is a roller coaster. You strap in (on your couch), slowly ascend up the opening hill (watch pre-game shows and go on Twitter for start/sit opinions) and then once you hit the apex of the hill (1:00PM EST), you start. It’s go time. If you follow me on Twitter, you know I […]

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 […]
The word “neat” is one of the best descriptors in the entire English dictionary. “Hey, neat shirt, Thomas.” Am I being a sarcastic prick, or am I just an incredibly innocent individual trying to tell Thomas that his clothing is aesthetically enjoyable? Transfer this way of thinking to my weekly “Really Neat or Take a […]
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, […]
Last year, the Colts were Manning-less. For the first time since 1998, the Colts played a game, followed by an entire season, without number 18 behind center. And we sure saw just how important Peyton Manning was to that team. That team now looks completely different. Manning is out of town, Garcon is too, they’ve […]
