Is there any stranger term than being called the NFL Draft Mr. Irrelevant? That gets tagged to the college football player drafted with the final pick of the NFL Draft in any given year? Some poor guy sits through hundreds of picks and his family, friends and agent begins to console him and discuss plans …
Good take on the NFL Draft coverage between ESPN and NFL Network. Personally, I'm a big fan of Rich Eisen and Michael Irvin, so they trump Chris Berman and Jon Gruden. My biggest problem with the coverage last night seemed to be with whoever directed the production on ESPN's side. The crawl was faster, especially with …
ESPN posted a great infographic from the people at InfoGraphicWorld.com, detailing some great NFL Draft history. Some of the things that jumped out at me about this graphic are: Jay Berwanger was Bo Jackson before Bo Jackson? Neither of them signed with the teams that drafted them No. 1 overall (Berwanger-Eagles, Jackson-Bucs). I actually wrote …
With the NFL Draft upon us this week, I thought it would be good to take one final pre-draft look at the top 25 players in my Fantasy Football rankings for 2012. Some of this should change a bit after the draft, depending on surprises and trades, but for the most part, this will be …
The only thing NFL Draftniks love as much as the draft is … beer. After that, though, their second favorite thing – fantasy football. But eventually, a distant third, draftniks love trivia. Here are 10 questions that will help separate the draft fans from the draft nerds (not sure which side you want to be …
I was just telling my wife the other day, “You are so perfect for me! … Well, close to perfect … Like, there are just a couple things I’d change … I mean, just like four things, really.” So while I was picking my teeth up off the ground, I had some time to think …
Thinking about going to Marlins Park to see a ballgame this year? You'll be glad you did, but I can make your baseball outing a little bit better with some tips. Think of this as your step-by-step plan for awesome-ness. Nineteen years ago, my step-father took me to the first game in Marlins history (Charlie …
Think back to last season, and how a few of your leaguemates had begun to forget to set their lineups in August, and how a few of your leaguemates spent weeks complaining about a certain rule. So now is as good a time as any, before your draft and with your owners attentive, to make …
Your teams are all drafted. Your rosters are tighter than Dick’s hat band (that’s one you don’t hear often enough). Your lineups are set and your rotations are locked. There’s only one thing left to do once Opening Day (truly) begins on Wednesday -- have fun. Did he just say, “Have fun,” like my Aunt …
I inexplicably signed up to run a 5K this past Saturday morning in downtown Fort Lauderdale. No, they didn’t have All-You-Can-Eat Wings at the finish line, nor did they make me chase a cheeseburger wagon the entire course. I’m trying to get back into shape is all – back off! (Dieting makes me grumpy.) I‘ve …
If you are reading this, you are a special kind of person. I don’t mean short-bus special, but I mean, special in the “information addict” kinda way.
