An old football-watching buddy of mine emailed me a few years ago reminiscing about a bad Super Bowl party or two that we had been to together. Tom reminded me of the time my brother-in-law invited us over to his house for the '99 Super Bowl (Falcons and Broncos), and then when we got there, …
Fantasy Football is a strange topic. With most things, like real sports or politics or news, one can seek one source or one site and be informed enough to go about their business. But with Fantasy Football, people want as many sources sharing their opinion as possible. That's why following these top 66 Fantasy Football …
Why post a list of Fantasy Baseball Twitter accounts? Well, for several reasons – first of which is that Twitter is an invaluable source of information for Fantasy Baseball owners. Secondly, because these guys do great work in trying to assist nearly every owner that asks them a question. (See my post on “How to …
I’m 40 years old, which means that my formative years (from 6-15 years old) were in the perfect Saturday Morning Cartoons time period of 1977-86. Five years earlier (1971) and there would have been way fewer cartoons available to watch on Saturday (there wasn’t even any electric back then!) And five later (1991), after the …
My former co-worker, Eric Mack, and I are back at it again, with our “Fantasy Fatcast” podcast! We plan to do two podcasts a week going forward, and we kicked things off this week reviewing the rookies, breakouts and busts from the 2015 Fantasy Football season.
In case you haven’t heard, we announced Monday that myself and Eric Mack, who I worked with at CBSSports.com and at SI.com, have joined the content staff at FanDuel.com. We’re not the only ones, of course, as my friend Joe Pisapia, of the FantasyBlackBook.com will also be joining the team. And this team is headed …
Just when you thought the Fantasy Baseball season was behind us – we publish the first two rounds of a 2015 Fantasy Baseball mock draft among 12 Fantasy writers from across the industry. I already posted the first round of this draft over at FantasySports.About.com, and there have already been some fireworks from some of …
One of my goals with this site is to become an industry uncle for writers and websites. At some point, I want writers to come here looking for places to write, and we want websites coming here looking for writers to fill their staffs. In that vein, I have a ton of great connections that I'd …
Last week, I got a digital copy of my favorite Fantasy Baseball magazine, “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2014" and once again, I come away incredibly impressed. As I've mentioned in the past, like an old character actor dropping names at a party, I worked on several Fantasy Baseball magazines in my 14 years writing about …
The Fantasy Fatcast continues their midseason 2014 Mock Draft, looking ahead to what Round 2 might look like. Eric Mack of Bleacher Report and Brett Tresky, who now has over 2,000 Twitter followers, join me, SI.com's David Gonos, to talk some Fantasy Football before Week 11! We also discuss the Perfect Lineup game at DraftDay.com, …
The fellas take a step back to look two steps forward, as they break down what they think the first round of a 2014 Mock Draft would look like. In this podcast, Bleacher Report's Eric Mack, SI.com's David Gonos and host Brett Tresky take turns making picks for a faux first round mock in Fantasy …
Bleacher Report's Eric Mack and I join host Brett Tresky for another Fantasy Fatcast, where we discuss some trades in our leagues, some keeper decisions to make and the Week 9 matchups. But we also bring in DavidGonos.com columnist Devon Jordan to talk about his most recent article, which details RBs strength of schedule for …
Bleacher Report's Eric Mack and I get together for another podcast, previewing the Week 8 matchups (sorta) and looking at six different Fantasy players to target for this second half. There are a couple names that should surprise you, for sure. We also help several callers with their Fantasy Football lineup issues, including two guys …
The Fantasy Fatcast boys got together for their regular weekly podcast this week, and we did a quick one-round 2013 Fantasy rookies redraft, just to see what we think of this class now that we're six weeks into the season. We also previewed the Week 7 matchups, which have some interesting games on the docket, …
Eric Mack is writing his start/sit column for BleacherReport.com, and I'm writing the Week 1 Start or Sit column for SI.com this season. We both discuss ,with host Brett Tresky, each of the upcoming Week 1 NFL matchups from a Fantasy perspective. Emack and Tresky also share their pick for the best survivor pick for …
I've been talking about how awesome the DraftWizard Mock Draft Simulator is, but one thing I haven't really highlighted yet is the Keeper Mock Draft Simulator part. I'm in several keeper drafts, three of which draft this week! So I've been doing a few mocks on this tool this week. What's cool is, you can …
Just before tonight's Fantasy Fatcast podcast, my computer decided to restart, with 11 updates. (I don't need the lectures, IT guys.) So Tresky and Emack flew solo … together. They had a caller from Chicago, Joel Henard, ask some Fantasy questions about Jay Cutler, Matt Forte and second-year wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who Emack is …
On Tuesday night, I took part in a 2013 PPR Mock Draft held on MockDraftCentral.com by FantasyTrade411.com for their upcoming Fantasy Football draft guide. I was quite unhappy with my draft, as I chose to pick in the 12th spot, hoping to see what kind of advantages I could make for myself, having back-to-back picks …
Eric Mack and I did our second "Fantasy Fatcast" podcast Tuesday night, but we were joined by our new host, Brett Tresky, and our special guest, Tom Romaniw. We discussed the wide receivers position, now that we've lost a couple Fantasy starters to injury since last week’s podcast. We're still working out the kinks, as …
A few months ago, after a softball game and during several beers at Maguires, our local pub, SI.com’s Eric Mack and I started talking about doing a Fantasy podcast together. After months of putting it off, thinking we’d never get our act together, and thousands of chicken wings, we finally held our first “Fantasy Fatcast” …
Every now and then, I like to step back and regroup, and explain what I’ve been doing lately. At least from a professional perspective, I want to share with you what’s going on with this blog, with this brain and with this rash that just … won’t … clear up. Why do you care? Why …
Writing ain't easy. And being a Fantasy Sports writer ain't easy either – in spite of what every person that has every played Fantasy Baseball or Football thinks. And while writing a book about Fantasy Sports might not be easy either, my review of Matthew Berry's book, "Fantasy Life: The Outrageous, Uplifting, and Heartbreaking World …
One year ago this week, I started to post regularly on DavidGonos.com, sharing my thoughts on the 2012 Fantasy Baseball season and the upcoming 2012 Fantasy Football season. Little did I realize how quickly it would grow, how much I would learn and how many friends I would make within the next 12 months. 10 …
This is an excerpt from my e-book, "101 Fantasy Baseball Tips," which is still available for the low, low price of just $0.99! It has 59 writers from 37 websites, with 12 categories -- and 101 Fantasy Baseball Tips! There is probably no other day on the schedule that has more people checking in on …
The 2013 Tout Wars Mixed Auction was once again – fantastic. We had a great weekend, which I’ll get into more later on, but first, I just wanted to share some lessons learned about the draft and some of the people and players involved. (Here are the results in spreadsheet form for all of the …
Looking for the best Fantasy Baseball apps for your iPad and iPhone can be troublesome and time consuming. There are a lot of great ones out there, with a handful of crappy ones sprinkled in as well. Then again, I noticed that there were fewer apps out there this year, compared to last year. Or …
On January 9, I got a group email from Cory Schwartz of MLB.com asking if we wanted to join a 15-team 2013 Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft (mixed league, Rotisserie, 5x5). Of course, I said, “Uhh yeah!” as did the rest of the group, and the draft started within an hour. It’s a slow email draft, …
Thirteen years ago, I started a Fantasy Sports website called, FantasyRef.com, then I sold it a couple years later in order to join the Fantasy staff at CBSSports.com. After writing there for five years, I joined a start-up site called OpenSports.com, where I worked a few more years. When it fell in late 2010, I …
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 …
