On the Wire: Week 11 Pickups and Waiver Wire Veterans from Week 10

By now, your season may be over, but there’s no reason to start cutting players like the Raiders unless they are still underperforming. Now is the time to grab up all those players the teams that beat up on you want to cripple them for their playoff run! That’s right. Bitterness breeds competition.

Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

The other much-rumored trade of disgruntled New York Giant Jeremy Shockey to [...]
