Week 17 NFL preview
Well it’s the end of the long road that is the NFL regular season. There is still lots to play for in week 17 with playoff spots and positioning on the line for many teams, in other games you have players auditioning for other teams that might show an interest in them in the off season [...]
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 14 recap and the NFL’s drunk driving policy
For the second consecutive week the NFL suffered a major black eye involving someone killed by one of its players. I remained mostly silent last week on the Javon Belcher situation because I got tired of watching people use the old Michael Scott “jump to conclusions mat” before we really had any idea what [...]

Unfortunately there seems to be something amiss in the NFC East this year with all of its teams [...]
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 [...]
Mike Hancock’s NFL week one winners and losers
Opening day in the NFL is like my Christmas. Actually, I get more excited personally about the opening of the NFL season but I love to see my kids open presents on Christmas so we will call it a tie. I got the bonus this year because my Cowboys played and won in the season [...]
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 [...]
