The rumblings were true that the Cowboys wanted to start collecting Roy Williams-es on their roster. One is never enough. After today’s count, they have two, their injured safety of horse-collar tackle fame and the underperforming wideout that found himself lost in the Detroit offense this season. This trade is finally a positive story out…… Continue reading Dallas Cowboys trade for WR Roy Williams, Detroit Lions wave white flag

Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense
Who is the better Manning now? I think Peyton Manning put ex-lax in his brother’s Gatorade this week. It was time to shut up the critics. Peyton gets three touchdowns; Eli gets three picks. At least in fantasy, it looks like Peyton may have reclaimed his top spot on the Manning mantel for now. And…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense
Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
These sudden, mysterious and largely unreported injuries have got to stop. Last week, Carson Palmer was a late scratch. This week, the victim was Matt Schaub, who was hit by a virus the night before the game. I normally set lineups Saturday night and then let them run, but this sudden injury plague makes me…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
Foolish Thoughts on Week 4: Postgame reactions to the week that fantasy forgot
Where did that Carson Palmer injury come from on Sunday morning? I lucked out played against him this week, but I didn’t hear a word about it until I saw him putting up zero points heading into halftime. Enough with the quiet injuries already. I’m still shocked there was an Ocho Cinco sighting without Palmer…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 4: Postgame reactions to the week that fantasy forgot
Saving Your Season: How to replace that Tom Brady guy
Well, that just sucks. Thanks, Week 1. Today being Patriot Day just seems to be an even more depressing reminder of the losses in real life and our slightly much less important fantasy football losses. If you were one of the lucky fantasy footballers who lost Tom Brady this past weekend, I assume I just…… Continue reading Saving Your Season: How to replace that Tom Brady guy

Brandon Marshall now suspended only one game, lights fantasy skyrocket
If you haven’t drafted yet, I’m sorry. Life just isn’t fair. Cry me a river and try hosting a party in a cave or under a rock so that the rest of your league doesn’t hear this news. If you have drafted, you just might be sitting on fantasy gold if you snagged Brandon Marshall…… Continue reading Brandon Marshall now suspended only one game, lights fantasy skyrocket
5 Reasons I Still Won’t Draft Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning has now returned to practice, but there’s still too much bad juju around old buckethead for me to consider touching him for my fantasy team. I can’t believe that I’m actually going to say it, but this season, it’s better to pass on the definition of a stud fantasy quarterback. I have my…… Continue reading 5 Reasons I Still Won’t Draft Peyton Manning
Ronnie Brown rehabs his knee, lacks Brady Quinn’s label turning expertise
If you were concerned about Ronnie Brown after reading my article about how much you love him this season, maybe a little video about how he is rehabbing will help you calm down about that pesky knee. Yes? No? [Video no longer available] I don’t particularly like to hear that his knee isn’t as strong…… Continue reading Ronnie Brown rehabs his knee, lacks Brady Quinn’s label turning expertise
Training Camp Uppers and Downers
It’s almost football season. Training camp battles are starting, Favre is reinstated and back as an active player (which means he is thinking about retiring) and coins are flipping in Chicago to decide who will throw the rock for 2008. Smell that fresh air? Behind that freshness, the little taint of grass and sweat is…… Continue reading Training Camp Uppers and Downers
