This topsy-turvey NFL

With a limited off season and the mad rush for practice and free agency, people have predicted this will be a very interesting season. And if we just look at the preseason, I would say that this holds true. I know it's just preseason, but I think this preseason is far different than any we've seen before. These games are OTAs, mini-camp, try-outs, and exhibition all in one. Some of the leagues best quarterbacks seem to be falling flat, while some of the other guys are making impressive runs. I know, I know! It's just preseason. But....

Fantasy Success? Why Yes!: The Formula

Hello my fellow sports fans, and welcome to the Sports Pros first ever edition of “Fantasy Success? Why Yes!” For weeks I have been waiting to make my blog debut, struggling with ideas on how I can make my first impression perfect. My original plan, back in May, was to wait for the summers upcoming World Cup, where I would dazzle readers with my vast knowledge of the world’s most popular sport in a column I would call “ Soccer: Two cups awesome, one cup world”. I soon came to realize that in fact there was no world cup this year (don’t count the women’s) and that they only play every four years; which is shocking for how popular soccer is. (sarcastic if you an American reading this, and completely truthful if your European) So instead of waiting three more years to write my column, I decided to take charge and write one on what most people want to read, fantasy football.

Flying without a Pilot: Washington Quarterback-less plans

It's 2011. The ESPN proclaimed "Year of the Quarterback". Arron Rodgers brought the current champions of football to the Lombardi Trophy despite a core of older veteran receivers and a slew of injuries. Tom Brady is such a great quarterback that he takes 5'9" Deion Branch and Wes Welker and makes them dangerous threats in the backfield. Drew Brees makes his receivers top fantasy prospects who, without him, would be 8th round picks at best. It would seem during this "pass-first" era in the NFL, the Quarterback would naturally be the main gun in any teams arsenal. Even in any era this would seem to be common sense.

So, for yet another season, Washington strives to work against common sense.

All In-dians? : Cleveland's High Hopes

As the trade deadline passes, many teams make out like baseball bandits in the market. I've been very happy with the goings on around the league. My Phillies scored Houston OF, Hunter Pence, without needing to give up young Dominic Brown or rookie RHP Vance Worley. And the Yankees did absolutely nothing. That's got the makings of great mid season trades in my book.
