NFL Powerless Rankings - September 3rd, 2008
After some low to mild success with my MLB Powerless Rankings, I felt it was only right to spread the nearly non-existent buzz to the wondrous NFL world we all know and love. If you've never read any types of Power Rankings then you're either lying to yourself or you don't know how to read. Since your

The RB Odometer: High Career Carry Red Flags
The biggest milestone that we seem to have set for running backs is for when they turn 30 years old. It's not even a good milestone either, despite what the majority of the population will tell you. Our brains have been wired to signal alarm sounds in our minds and produce tunnel vision whenever a three-decades-old

While researching further into the target information I had acquired with The Football Guys, Game Log Dominator (best thing since the forward pass I tell ya -- thank you Doug Drinen!), a light bulb went off in my head. Most of the information,

The Magical 110: Analyzing WR Targets
To be honest, I've never really paid much attention to targets. Don't ask me why, I just didn't. I knew about them, but I never really tried to put them in context -- probably because I was too lazy. When you do think about them though, the more targets a player gets, the more his chance is to succeed.

Comatose Sleepers: The Wide Receiver Edition
Since there is approximately 528 unofficial definitions for a sleeper, it is often hard to get a grasp or gain any middle ground on exactly what one is. Luckily, there is but one definition for a comatose sleeper. The following, which I made up, is that definition:span<span style="font-weight:

Fantasy Extravaganza: Top 25 WR's Not In The Overall Top 25
If you think about it, you could put a monkey in front of a computer, tell it to pick many people near the top of the screen all the time and that monkey would likely have some impressive players on it's roster. It's not very hard to draft the people your supposed to. But it's after they're all gone that drafts are won and the massive amount of time you spent researching...

Filtered Strength of Schedule Rankings: Opposing Run Defense
So there I was yesterday morning, thinking about strength of schedule in regards to fantasy football while enjoying my breakfast (a bologna sandwich) at work. Sure, it's worth taking into account. But strength of schedule is too broad and doesn't really give you anything to cue in on that's too specific. Take the Kansas City Chiefs last year for instance. Although it...

Kevin Garnett's Post Game Interview: A Translational Breakdown
A lot of hoopla has been made about Kevin Garnett's post championship win interview with Michelle Tafoya. A lot of people were confused by things that were said and things that he did. Well, luckily for you, the entire thing was crystal clear to me. So, I've felt the burden to break it down and translate it to anyone who did not understand it. Which was a lot of people.

Bartolo Colon swings his way onto the DL
A little late, I know.. but the masses need to be informed. Red Sox starting pitcher Bartolo Colon, who's been having a pretty impressive comeback season pitching-wise this year, has been placed on the 15 day DL due to a stiff back. Why you ask? Well, no videos or pictures exist anywhere on the Internet, so let me show you with my computer paint skills.
