Keeper leagues are a lot like college fraternities. Membership is exclusive. There are dues to pay. You're among good friends, drinking buddies and other like-minded dudes.

So I'm sitting here having my morning coffee when I hear on Sportscenter that Chuck Knoblauch is being subpoenaed by the House Committee for their steroid investigation. I suddenly think back to week one of the NFL when many New York fans, both of the Giants and Jets, were bashing the New...
