Although the activity of fantasy football has been with us for over 50 years, it’s only since the rise of the internet that it has really taken off. Through the use of new digital technologies, it’s easier than ever for anyone to enjoy being an armchair quarterback. And with even President Obama having tried the …
As I watch Oklahoma face off against Clemson in the Russel Athletic Bowl (it feels wrong to say the name of a sponsor), and face off is a misnomer in this case due to the lack of competitiveness so far, I see Cole Stoudt, the Clemson quarterback, complete wide receiver screens ad nauseam against the Oklahoma …
There’s a very thin line between entertainment and news -- and a major network got burned by their own decisions, as ESPN suspending Bill Simmons for three weeks really just proves they want him to be honest, but not that honest. Most news organizations have to figure out that balance to make sure they are staying within …
Doug Martin, Vincent Jackson, and Mike Evans: these are the players on the Buccaneers that most Fantasy owners thought they could count on, but what did most owners not count on? Josh McCown. McCown was bad in his first regular season start with the Buccaneers. So bad that the two-year, $10 million dollar contract he …

Last week we looked at the strength of schedule for the running back position, and it is time to finish off the work, pull out the spreadsheets, and come up with the calculations for the other five Fantasy Football positions. …
The concept of the "man cave" has been revived to refer to a sanctuary where the man of the house could retreat and rejuvenate. Of course, the original man cave was an actual cave. Always got horrible satellite dish reception, though. Things have evolved quite a bit since then. Modern man caves now come equipped …
In Fantasy Football, points are important, but points relative to the position a player plays is more important. Colin Kaepernick scored 30 points last week and was the second highest second highest scorer in fantasy football, but was that performance impressive when the top twelve quarterbacks—the amount of quarterbacks played in a standard league—averaged 25 …
As we look down our rosters every week, sometimes we wind up with more questions than answers when we're trying to decide who to start. There are certainly no-brainers every week, but often we will be looking at a position on our roster that is weak. We draft players every year that we hope to …
I listen to a lot of podcasts. I listen to these podcasts to pass the time and fill my head with information while I go through the monotony of everyday tasks: cooking, cleaning, driving, and doing the dishes.

Today we will conclude our list of 2013 NFL coaching changes. In Fantasy Football, a player’s playing time and usage is essential when we evaluate their value.
