Week 16 NFL picks and Fantasy Corner
Well, last week I finished just under .500 at 7-9 but as wacky as the league has been week to week this season I don’t consider that horrible. Still, I will try to improve on that number this week as we look at some important games that will shape the playoff races in both conferences [...]
NFL week 15 picks and Fantasy Corner
Coming off of last week’s disastrous 4-12 record it became important to get back on track sooner than later, and while I didn’t exactly set the world on fire with my 8-7-1 record it is definitely a marked improvement and a step in the right direction that I will try to build on this week. [...]
Week eight NFL winners and losers and the state of the NFC East
The NFC East may be the premiere conference in football in terms of competition and notoriety. All four teams are in major media markets and have a national following, and three of the four have distinguished Superbowl histories. Unfortunately there seems to be something amiss in the NFC East this year with all of its teams [...]
Week eight NFL picks and fantasy corner
So last week was a little more interesting as the new implementation of the over/under selections in this column kept me right at .500 last week. I finished 5-6-1 in the games that I picked with the late Eli Manning TD causing the push on the over. I would have had a winning record had [...]
Week seven NFL recap: Is the Madden Curse to blame in Detroit?
Since this is a Tuesday column, the Monday night game always provides plenty of fodder for my rants. This week is no exception as we look into the underachieving Detroit Lions. The Lions’ offense, which was record-setting last year and enabled Matthew Stafford to become a member of the 5000-yard club, has become totally anemic this year [...]
NFL week five winners and losers
This week’s column starts in Kansas City where something absolutely disgusting occurred and out of the chaos a hero stepped up and spoke his mind in a simple but eloquent way that really put the whole thing into perspective. In the fourth quarter of Kansas City’s loss to Baltimore on Sunday QB Matt Cassel was [...]
Week two NFL preview
As a guy that has been known to place a wager on football from time to time I know that the first few weeks of the season are always the toughest to get a handle on. I don’t even like setting my fantasy football line up in those weeks because you are never sure what [...]
2012 NFC South preview
2012 NFC South Preview With the third installment in our preseason preview series we take a look at the NFC South. In recent years this has been a two horse race between Atlanta and New Orleans and their marquis QB’s, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees respectively. Last year a new breed of QB crashed the party [...]
Is RGIII the answer for the Redskins?
What does RGIII mean to the Skins? I live in Redskin country, and amongst Skins fans for the first time in a few years there is real hope. Not since Barack Obama came to DC has the city been so excited over the prospect of change. However, one has to ask–is RGIII the man that [...]
