2008 Fantasy Football Bloggers Mock Draft Final Results
Here is another post to help you get those rusty fantasy gears oiled and moving again. I have a quick little four round mock draft for you to look over to get an idea of how some fantasy savvy bloggers/writers and I value many of the top players. The scoring format was based on a standard system other then the fact [read more...]

-Despite a slow start to the season, Rasheed Wallace is quickly becoming a top fantasy player after a disappointing December. Through five games this month, he's averaging 16.8 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 2.2 blocks per game and 2.4 3's per game. If he puts up numbers anywhere near that for the rest of the season, he may be the most versatile [read more...]

-Grant Hill will be out 2-3 weeks for the Suns after undergoing an appendectomy on Wednesday. Head coach Mike D'Antoni has a reputation for small rotations, and he justified that against the Pacers yesterday by only playing 8 players in the Suns overtime victory. Boris Diaw (41 minutes, 8 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists) looks like he will be [read more...]

-Marcus Banks is apparently back in the Suns rotation, scroing 23 points (including seven 3's) Monday against Nuggets. He has played 39 minutes in the past two games, so it's too early to recommend picking him up, but if he can get that up to about 30 minutes a game he will be a fantastic pickup. Keep an eye on [read more...]
NFL Combine Speculation At Full Throttle
There's a peculiar feel to the NFL Combine. It's not that it isn't important, but if there is a more speculative media event that has ever been conceived, (aside from an Oscars pre-party) I'd like to know where it is.And who caters it. At one point this weekend, I found myself ten feet in front of Tony Dungy's podium, and ready [read more...]
10 Things We Learned About the NFL This Season
Just like that, another NFL season has come and gone. Sorry, the Pro Bowl doesn't count since yours truly is currently an alternate at safety in the NFC right now. The excruciating dead period between the end of football and the beginning of baseball is upon us, and since I'll never make it to April writing nothing but Winter Olympics and [read more...]
New Year’s Resolutions
I can't believe it's already been a year since I wrote last year's list of New Year's resolutions. Although, it's nice to know that I don't have to worry about my favorite baseball team anymore. I'd like to send a shout-out right now to Ozzie Guillen and his crew for allowing me to scratch "I never got to see the [read more...]
Here, There & Everywhere
Best of the Worst, So What? The Chicago Bears are 5-3, should be 6-3 after their battle with the league's best JV team, San Francisco, this weekend, and at this point are the clear favorites to win the NFC North. So what, you say. There are 20 teams that could win this division. To which I ask, since when is it so objectionable [read more...]
Gone Yard: Terrell Owens, Savior of Sport
Terrell Owens, savior of sport. Five words that, according to Google, have never before in the history of the Internet been uttered together. And yet…it's possible. Maybe only in a "this year, the Cubbies'll take it all!" kind of way, but possible nonetheless. How? Before we get there, let's take a step back. Owens has been a leading vote-getter on the All-Jackass Team [read more...]
Terrell Owens Fails “Opportunity Test”
Nobody knows better than Terrell Owens that a maxim exists in the NFL that says great receivers do not create great quarterbacks. There simply isn't the evidence to supply the grounds for such a theory. Even when you take the greatest receivers in the history of the NFL, starting of course with Jerry Rice, the evidence always points to the fact [read more...]
Hart Surgery: Breaking Down the Boo
When Rafael Palmeiro made his first appearance at the plate after serving his suspension for steroids, I expected to hear the boos and catcalls normally reserved for athletes who screw up. With steroids such a hot-button issue, I figured the PA Announcer would have a hard time even getting his name out over the razzes and huzzahs. Imagine my surprise when [read more...]
Owens Flunks NFL Public Relations 101
It'll always be easy to find Terrell Owens. His is a path littered with massive smoke signals from all the burnt bridges. And it's actually getting close to the phrase one ESPN executive used to describe Keith Olbermann's exit from the network back in the late '90's. "He didn't just burn bridges, he napalmed them." Yesterday, Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Garcia responded to [read more...]
Philly Fans: I Told You So
I'm not the kind of person to say, "I told you so." Wait a second. Of course I am. Nobody enjoys saying that more than I do. Hey Philadelphia, about this whole Terrell Owens thing, I told you so. "No one can question what Owens brings to the table every Sunday. He is brutally strong, roadrunner fast, and his ability to [read more...]
Hart Surgery: Ten Plagues of Sports
As a Jew, I am constantly trying to explain the nuances of my religion to outsiders. This week in particular, being Passover, I generally receive an extra amount of questions (usually: "Why are you eating that giant cracker?"). Far and away the longest week of the year, Passover is basically like a Jewish version of Hell Week (to put it in [read more...]
Hart Surgery: Four Down Territory
Ok, I covered wrestling a couple weeks ago (and I apologize for no column last week - I was shocked to find out people actually noticed). Now its time to discuss the only real subject that matters at this time of year (aside from Lehigh women's lacrosse): football, football, football. There are a few topics I would like to cover today, so let's do [read more...]
Terrell Owens: Wanting His Cake and Eating It Too
Last week, it appeared that all was well with wide receiver Terrell Owens. Despite a bone-headed move by his agent in failing to file the paperwork with the NFL that would have voided the remaining three years on his contract with the San Francisco 49ers, the 'Niners shipped Owens to the Baltimore Ravens in return for a second round draft [read more...]
Terrell Owens: Too Busy Loud Mouth
When he hasn't been blasting his teammates, especially quarterback Jeff Garcia, or pulling Sharpie pens out of his socks to sign footballs, Terrell Owens has been not-too-patiently waiting for this off-season, when the superstar wide receiver could cancel the remaining years on his contract with the San Francisco 49ers and become a free agent. Owens is due to make $17.7 million [read more...]

Website Poll
Poker sites for US players are somewhat hard to come by these days. Aside from the big ones, PokerStars and Full Tilt, mainly smaller, fairly unknown sites are available to Americans. It s a good idea to read a poker room review before you sign up with a site you don t know very much about.
