Championship Week = Best Week Ever!!!
by: MichaelGenovese
NCAA basketball’s championship week is underway. It is one of the most exciting weeks in sports and the number one reason that college basketball is superior to college football. That’s right I said it, superior. Three times a day for a week you get to see something amazing. In college football what [...]

Third Base – Know Your Enemy
Sure, you have to know your league’s rules. You have to know the rules if you want to strategize accordingly, or if you want to curve them like a pitch by Josh Beckett. But, it’s more than knowing how many bench players you’re afforded. The key to [...]

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

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 [...]
Spring is in the air!!!
On March 1, 2010 at 8:58 am
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 [...]

The Men’s Downhill Apology event is a recent addition to the Winter Olympics, testing an athlete’s ability to [...]

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 [...]
Tiger: By the Tale
On February 19, 2010 at 3:43 pm
The hour had come – 11am Eastern.
The focus was on a lone podium with an audience of family and friends, but no reporters.
I was stiffing my bias and the questions that whirled around my mind: Will Elin be there? Will he be contrite or combative? Will he walk out after his statement on the mend [...]
Athletes and their second chances
On at 8:48 am
Second chances. We love to give them.
As a matter of fact, we give second chances to all sorts of famous people all the time.
But we really love giving them to athletes. By “we” I am referring to the paying, sport-loving public. Just give it some thought - how many athletes have we forgiven?
We have forgiven Mike Tyson for raping a woman. [...]
