Lamar Miller (RB, MIA) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Oh hey look, it's my RB2! People were expecting an offensive breakout in South Florida this season, but it looks like the offense is just broken. With losses to the Bills (who are surprisingly good) and the Jaguars (unsurprisingly not good), the Dolphins have been a disappointment this season. Miller came in to this season […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I COULD'VE DRAFTED JULIO JONES I HATE EVERYTHING. Seriously, last year I had Antonio Brown and Jordy Nelson and my team was named the WRecking Crew* I could've had the WRecking Crew 2 it even rhymes gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Anyway, Hill was most likely a late first, early second round pick and aside from a Week […]

Wide Receiver Rankings: Top Ten for Week 2

Last week was a bit of a rough week for the elite tier of wide receivers.  Calvin Johnson, A.J. Green, Odell Beckham, and Dez Bryant were all borderline first-round picks who posted up dud weeks. Although, in Bryant's defense, he did injure himself [although in the opposite of Bryant's defense he's out for six weeks at […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds / Two-QB Leagues as 2nd QB CURRENT ADP: 163 STD, 162 PPR ANALYSIS: If you want to sell yourself on Winston, all you have to do is look at his 2013 game against Pittsburgh. In his first collegiate start, Winston shredded the Panthers in a 41-13 romp. He was 25-of-27 for 356 yards […]

Jameis Winston: 2015 NFL Rookie Fantasy Analysis

Last year's rookie QB class was slightly underwhelming. No one provided an Andrew Luck, or even Robert Griffin III from 2012  season, and the 2015 class doesn't look much better. While Winston was anointed the #1 pick in 2015 as early as September 2013, his 2014 season was disappointing. His Florida State team was labeled as a fraudulent 13-0, […]

NFL Free Agency: What The Hell Just Happened?

Well, this is why you don't take a nap on the first day of the league year.  You go to sleep in the afternoon, thinking the NFL is essentially stable, then all of a sudden the whole damn thing explodes and you're not really sure if you woke up or you're still having oddly specific […]

Daily Recap: Midweek Review - 100% Non-Corrupt, Non-Bribed Officials

Oh, FIFA.  What are we going to do with you?  I mean, anyone with a moderate understanding of temperature could tell you that playing soccer in the middle of July in the bloody desert is probably a bad idea.  Does FIFA not have anyone well versed in temperatures?  Did they get knocked off-kilter when someone […]

The Week In Review: Killing Time 'Til The All-Star Game

Well, here we are.  The dead zone.  All the football is done, save for the NFL draft, but that particular circus doesn't pull into town for a while yet.  Winter meetings are over, and spring training hasn't started yet, so the only real baseball-based entertainment is pointing and laughing at Alex Rodriguez when he says […]

Daily Sports Recap 2/5: National Signing Day

You're saying there was an NFL game on Sunday?  Huh.  Did I get fantasy points for it?  No?  Okay, moving on then.

  Well, that was sure an entertaining and controversy-free NFC championship game!  I'm glad I got to watch it-- it was one of the best football games I've ever seen.  I didn't get to watch the AFC championship, but I'm sure it was just as entertaining and controversy-free as well, right? You're saying that it […]

Daily Sports Recap 1/20: We're Baaaaaaaaaack

I would like to preface this column with a couple of apologies.  First off, I want to apologize for taking so long in between columns.  Cross country moves suck when everything goes smoothly, and the suck is massively compounded when complications arise.  Complications like "someone backing out of a sublease agreement with two days before a […]

Daily Sports Recap 1/6: #JustClevelandThings

Welcome back to another midweek edition of the Daily Sports Recap, where I have once again been blessed by the sports gods, as Cleveland has double-dipped into the metaphorical off-brand ketchup of "laugh at our pain."   Cleveland Cavaliers Lose to Philadelphia 76ers 95-92...

Daily Sports Recap, 12/23: QB Witness Protection

As the days have gotten shorter and we near that last stretch of the year, remember the real meaning of the season: football's almost over, baseball doesn't start until April, and the Spurs will rest Duncan, Ginobili and Parker about 20 more times before the playoffs.  It is truly the bleakest part of the year.   Arizona […]

Daily Sports Recap, 12/18: College Football Coaching FUN Edition

Most of today's sports news comes from the wackiness that is the coaching carousel in college football.  Just a heads-up: this column will absolutely not be safe to read in the company of small children or those with heart conditions.   Former Nebraska Coach Bo Pelini Makes His Opinions Explicitly Clear In a leaked transcript […]
