2012 Week Two IDP Linebacker Rankings- Is Patrick Willis Still Ranked in the Top-5?
Well folks, week one is in the books. Now it is on to week two. There were plenty of surprises and the rankings have shifted a little bit. That being said, do not panic. If you own a stud and they did not perform, calm down and start them again. Do not panic. I will say it again: Do Not Panic!
Over the course of the year the studs will perform. The season is a marathon and not...
San Francisco 49ers close to setting NFL turnover record

A Moment On NFL Power Rankings
Just stop it.
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, the National Football League…with the notable exceptions of three things:
1. The NFL Scouting Combine – It’s the world’s worst meat market. This event still blows my wig off. I’m going to judge talent by how someone plays against other high-end competition; not by how someone performs in a pair of shorts...
Schwartz vs. Harbaugh: Heavyweight bout round two?
The Detroit Lions lost to the San Francisco 49ers last year in the final minutes, ending their bid for a potential perfect season. Undefeated going into the game, Detroit surrendered a Delanie Walker touchdown catch on fourth-and-six with just 1:51 remaining.
The game, however, will be remembered for a handshake, not late-game heroics.
The game ended with the Lions trying a desperation...
San Francisco 49ers: Jim Harbaugh's Squad Will Sustain NFC Power

Break out the Huey Lewis and the News records, find Jerry Rice and Joe Montana and let’s cut a single.Expectations...
49ers' turnover mentality begins with 'Takeaway Thursdays'

Philly Sports World Fantasy Week 1
Fantasy Week 1 Gloating and eating CROW
Picking the 49ers by 10 in Green Bay I missed the mark by 2. The revamped 49er offense with “the dusted off Randy Moss who produced a TD was everything I expected. With a balanced attack Alex Smith put up strong numbers passing for 211 yards and two touchdowns. The DEFENSE managed to keep Rodgers in check...

Kickers, Punters & Long Snappers Dominated NFL Week 1 Headlines
They are the difference makers, the scapegoats, and the late round pick in your fantasy draft—kickers, punters, and long snappers often go undrafted, unappreciated, and generally fly under the radar if they are doing their job right.Headlines are usually made when a snap is muffed, a kick is botched, or a punt is blocked; however, in the opening week of NFL play, it was the special...

Harbaugh, Schwartz downplay their dustup
Story lines abound in the 49ers' nationally televised rematch with the Lions on Sunday night at Candlestick Park. First, there's the ongoing relationship, if that's what you can call it, between the two coaches -- the Lions' Jim Schwartz and the 49ers' Jim Harbaugh. The two nearly brawled at the end of a hard-fought game in Detroit last October. The 49ers won...
Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers: Week 2 NFL Pick
Detroit Lions (1-0) at San Francisco 49ers (1-0)
Both of these teams were in my overrated group heading into the season. The idea with the overrated/underrated teams was to bet the underrated teams and against the overrated teams until the odds makers caught up or I was proven wrong.
