Continued from Part 1
Second Base – Draft Wisely
There are three stages to a draft: Diffusing Bombs (rounds 1-6), Playing the Field (rounds 7-14), and Diamonds in the Rough (rounds 15-21). As brand names disappear in the draft, real skill and knowledge appear.
Diffusing Bombs is high-stakes. You’ll draft your most productive players here, but beware of [...]
Redskins taking a new direction?
On at 7:26 am
The Washington Redskins took the first step in a new direction today. They cut 10 players in all including Antwaan (big money bust) Randle El, Ladell “injury prone” Betts, Cornelius Griffin, Fred “sex boat” Smoot, and Todd Collins Mix. This is a direct effort to get younger as a team. It’s a major step in [...]
Crafting the Draft: Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide – Part I
On March 8, 2010 at 8:55 am
You play because you love baseball (you’re an American, aren’t you?). You play because you’re a closet sabermetrician (yes, you know how to calculate VORP). You play because you know better than that good-for-nothing manager (WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING? TAKE HIM OUT!).
You play fantasy baseball to win.
In order to claim that virtual trophy [...]
Life, Liberty, And Pursuit By Lunch
On at 8:38 am
Most of the time, when we hear of sports teams and their resident players in the news, whatever we hear has to do with the next athlete to dose on steroids, whatever athlete’s making more than $40 thousand or whoever just held a gun to someone’s head.
But quite recently, and by that we mean a [...]

The city of Topeka, Kansas was obliterated Wednesday following a dramatic accident involving a Toyota and a Ford Pinto.

‘What Exit?’ and Jersey Toll Collector Road Rage
On March 3, 2010 at 9:32 am
While thumbing through my list of sites for show prep today, I came across an article on The Smoking Gun which immediately commanded my attention: Toll collector road rage.
New Jersey has been the butt-end of jokes since the days of Peter Stuyvesant and New Amsterdam. Whether it’s Jimmy Hoffa resting eternally in the end zone [...]

Conservative internet radio talk show host Diane Student, of Blog Talk Radio’s Freedoms Wings, has been discussing her unique perspective being a Conservative Born Again Christian, yet she is gay which many people consider antithetical.

The Ladies Room: More Reasons to Hate Twitter
On March 1, 2010 at 9:29 am
Admittedly, I write a lot of fluff. While perky, light topics are generally all I care to delve into, occasionally I’m struck by a subject I can’t ignore.
This week, I came across an article about a woman who was Live Tweeting her abortion. Classy.
Angie Jackson is a blogger, like everyone these days. I attempted to [...]
Spring is in the air!!!

You couldn’t tell up here in North Jersey, but baseball’s spring training is underway down in Florida and Arizona.
Baseball is America’s pastime. Kids dream of playing in the big leagues, hell I still dream of playing in the big leagues, and rest assured there isn’t (and never was) any chance of that happening.
In the dead [...]

Carrie Prejean, it seems, has met her match. Miss California contestant Lauren Ashley has expressed similarly popular sentiments. The media and blogs are reacting in the same manner as they did for Prejean.
In an initial interview for Fox News, Ashley was asked about the whole Carrie Prejean scenario. She said that she not only admired [...]

Can Old Running Backs Learn New Tricks?
On February 25, 2010 at 8:09 am
Two big cuts in just a few days -LaDainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook both got the axe by their respective teams.
It seems like an easy choice for an organization – The player’s production goes down while his salary goes up. Emotionally, however, the decision is anything but simple. Relationships are formed and friendships built during these players’ tenures with their [...]
