Justin Tuck retired at the end of the 2015-16 season, leaving behind a career filled with numerous accolades and accomplishments.

The Cut List (Week 10): Players To Consider Cutting Bait On

It worked! Me listing Carlos Correa on the Cut List "hot list" actually sparked him. Of course I was never serious about dropping Correa, but the reverse jinx is real. Anyways, we're basically a third of the way through the season and you're getting a good grasp on how good (or bad) your team is. […]

Kirk Cousins Stepped Up for Redskins in 2015

After all the RG3 drama, it was time for Kirk Cousins to put up or shut up in 2015.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/7/16): MLB DFS Advice
