Recappin’ Dat Ass: Week 1

11th of September, 2013

Recappin’ Dat Ass is a weekly article that gives you a recap of some of the major stories in the NFL. In a vein attempt to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions in subsequent weeks, I will look at specific players and situations that are especially pressing for fantasy owners. […]

The Most Inconsistent Usable Players of 2012

29th of May, 2013

Consistency is defined as “The achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time.” Inconsistency, quite obviously, means the opposite. NFL players who never touch the ball throughout the season could be considered, given the definition, consistent. They’re just consistently bad, playing at a low level no matter the […]

Larry Fitzgerald a Top-5 Wideout? Not So Fast.

3rd of April, 2013

I’m a Pittsburgh Pirates fan. I know what it’s like to get excited about something simply because I want it to happen. I’m also a University of Pittsburgh graduate. Larry Fitzgerald is the best receiver to play for my alma mater, and he’s one of my personal favorite players in the NFL. I’m happy that […]

Really Neat or Take a Seat: Week 13

28th of November, 2012

There’s a story of a British man, Ashley Revell, who bet his entire life savings on a color. In April of 2004, Revell walked into the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and placed $135,300 on the color red at a vacant roulette table. A crowd gathered, cheering for Revell’s success. As the […]

Really Neat or Take a Seat: Week 12

21st of November, 2012

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 […]

Current Exchange Rates: Week 11

15th of November, 2012

It’s already Week 11 of the NFL season, and trade deadlines are fast approaching. Time to get those lineups as stacked as possible, and it’s time to start cashing in on that depth you have on your bench. With the final round of bye weeks coming it will become almost useless to have high quality […]

Week 9 By the Numbers

6th of November, 2012

Jamaal Charles owners walked away from Week 8 scratching their heads. It was a matchup that looked great on paper, but Oakland was able to hold the Chiefs’ running back to just 10 total yards.  Was it a sound performance by the Raiders, or just a poor game plan by the Chiefs coaching staff? I […]

Reaction Monday: The NFL Roller Coaster

5th of November, 2012

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 […]

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 […]

32 Teams in 32 Days: Oakland Raiders

26th of July, 2012

Mike Brown finally gave in. He traded Carson Palmer to Oakland. 2011 marked the year that the Carson Palmer era began in Oakland. It wasn’t the prettiest quarterback performance we’d ever seen. But to be fair, he didn’t have OTAs, a training camp, or a pre-season. So should we really conclude his value by looking […]
