#TrendingNow Dynasty Risers and Fallers - 2017 Season Review
I hope you have taken a week or two to relax and admire the work of your 2017 season. You only have a short window though, because as a dynasty fantasy owner, there is no offseason. It’s time to start planning what move will come next, whether it be a draft, free agency or trade. […]
Pat Shurmur Named Giants Head Coach
The New York Giants announced earlier Monday that Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur has been named the 18th head coach in team history. Shurmur interviewed on Jan. 6 with team president John Mara, general manager Dave Gettleman and others. The Giants will look for Shurmur to not only win now with quarterback Eli Manning at the […]
Conference Championship Game Picks - NFL Playoff Predictions
Championship Sunday has arrived and boy did it take some dumb stupid coaching decisions to get here. I've been saying all year the Falcons inability to score in the red zone will cost them eventually. Last week I said, "if the Falcons don't begin scoring touchdowns [in the red zone], it will come back to haunt […]
Biggest Running Back Busts - 2017 Year in Review
I'm a firm believer that I know very little, and that taking my advice is generally the equivalent of asking someone on the street. I'm not referring to fantasy sports so much as everything else: how to cook a fish, how many quarts are in a cup, how to put together a desk, etc. When it […]
Giants Expected To Target Pat Shurmur As Head Coach
According to Ian Rapoport on Twitter, the New York Giants are expected to target Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur as their next head coach. Shurmur is expected to accept the job if the job is offered to him, according to Rapoport. Shurmur would replace Ben McAdoo as the Giants head coach going forward.
Nick Saban Not Interested In Giants Head Coaching Job
After some speculation earlier in the day, a source has spoken to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post debunking any rumors of Alabama head coach Nick Saban leaving for the NFL.

Giants To Interview Steve Wilks And Eric Studesville
After conducting a few interviews this past week for their open head coaching position, the New York Giants will interview Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and Broncos assistant head coach Erik Studesville early next week, according to Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter. This should be near the end of the Giants coaching search, as they've interviewing […]
Jim Schwartz On Back Burner As Giants Head Coaching Candidate
According to Jordan Raanan on Twitter, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will not have an interview for the New York Giants head coaching vacancy on Sunday. Schwartz seemed to be an early favorite for the position earlier in the week, but that has obviously cooled. The Giants conducted a multitude of interviews throughout the week […]
Matt Patricia Interviews For Giants Head Coaching Position
The New York Giants interviewed Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia for their head coaching vacancy Friday. Up next is Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Patricia is a rising head coaching candidate that interviewed for several jobs last offseason as well. He's more of a realistic option to take this job than McDaniels.
2017 Final Consistency Report - Tight Ends

Giants To Interview Jim Schwartz This Weekend
The New York Giants will interview Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz for their head coaching job this weekend, according to sources.

Giants Request To Interview Pat Shurmur
The New York Giants have requested to interview Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur for their head coaching vacancy, according to a source. The Giants are unlikely to retain interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo, and Shurmur would be a good candidate to help quarterback Eli Manning to rebound if he sticks around. Shurmur has gained a […]
