How about that Rundown: Things you should have known before the 2009 NFL Draft

Foolish Thoughts on Week 15: I’m all out of love, so lost without you
It was hard to bring my thoughts together between fits of extreme sobbing after watching all the football games in a very serious, totally masculine way this weekend.
Yes, I lost at Nick’s hands this week, one game away from the championship … in a game where I was “projected” to win by 50 points.

Foolish Thoughts on Week 13: Tell me when it’s over
What was happened to the NFL this weekend?

Of course, I thought it would be mildly [...]

A lot of the action already went down on Thursday, but there are still a few sneaky starts and player concerns this week. Here are a few players that might help or hurt you in staking your claim for a playoff spot on this fine Sunday.

Week 11 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

Last night, I expected a defensive slugfest with a [...]
Week 10 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
The triumphant return of Thursday Night Football! I always thought the Thursday night games were stretching it.

In truth, the waiver wire in fantasy football exists as a result of the casualties [...]

Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
There’s a lot of hotness this week, and many players not on a bye might have their best performance of the season for you. My favorite starts are Willis McGahee against Oakland and Chris Johnson against the Colts but even Cedric Benson might break 100 yards this week. Cedric Benson — let that sink in [...]
