I guess if I am going to berate the fantasy losers of the NFL draft, I might as well commend the winners. These guys saw their fantasy value get a boost with the 2008 rookie class. Jay Cutler. Denver Broncos. New blocker in Ryan Clady and a new receiver in Eddie Royal. If you count…… Continue reading Fantasy Winners of 2008 NFL Draft

Fantasy Losers of the 2008 NFL Draft
My apartment management decided that I was so excited about the NFL draft this weekend that they needed to shut off the hot water this morning to calm me down. That’s okay though. I’m not bitter. I’ll just take those lemons and… …and who am I kidding? I’m going to throw them at the door…… Continue reading Fantasy Losers of the 2008 NFL Draft

Why the Pro Bowl (Kinda) Matters
Many sports writers are bashing the Pro Bowl this year because it is a meaningless game. Truth be told, to many players, it probably is.

The defense is always…… Continue reading Why the Pro Bowl (Kinda) Matters
The Denver Trifecta for 2008: Cutler, Marshall and Scheffler
Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler are already back to work on getting their game together for 2008.
