September Rush: The last night of 2011

There are few excuses for not acknowledging September 28, 2011 as the most exciting night of your life:

1. You don't like sports ( Which is completely unacceptable if you're a guy. I have a huge beef with you. Ladies: still unacceptable, but less beef. More like a side of beef.)
2. You don't like baseball (C'mon! Now you're just being dumb. Everybody likes baseball! Get on the bandwagon, jerk!)
3. At some point in your life you have found the cure for a disease. (I am fine with this night being second place for people like Marie Curie and Will Smith)
4. You have no pulse ( This is a bigger problem then just not liking baseball. I would get in touch with Marie and Will to see if they could cure that for you.)

Otherwise, you have no excuse.

Cool Start Bro! Bros and Busts Week 2

“Hindsight is 20/20”

I had a guy tell me that one time, that “Hindsight is 20/20”, but I didn’t get what he meant so I just walked away, and to this day I’m still unsure of what it actually means. Does it have something to do with that show 20/20? Does have something to do with a dog’s hind legs, and watching that show 20/20? Was he complimenting me on my vision, and my dog’s legs, while at the same time inviting me over to watch that show 20/20? Who knows? What I do know is that spending my valuable seconds thinking about a stupid phrase that one cashier at Arby’s said to me 20 years ago when he forgot to put cheese on my sandwich, is just plain dumb, and the same rule applies to fantasy owners. We can’t spend our time from Tuesday to Saturday worrying over the picks we made last week, or how we chose to start LeGarrette Blount and sit Ray Rice. We must instead focus on the future; finding ways in which we can improve our odds to get a W. So in order to help you all achieve this, I’ve put together another list of Bros and Busts for week two.

Home Team Bias

The 2008 World Series win for the Philadelphia Phillies was the greatest sports related moment in my life. Come to think of it, maybe the best non sports related moment as well. The drama, the excitement, the sight of Brad Lidge falling to his knees and Carlos Ruiz embracing him. It still gives me chills watching it to this day. But I always wonder if the Phillies were not my home team would I feel this way? If Citizens Bank Park wasn't just a short drive down 95 South, would I have felt years of losing seasons and missing the playoffs was finally worth it? If I was a Phillies fan from lets say, Kentucky, would I really have had the same feeling? I do not think I would have, but that raises this question. Is it really ok to be a fan of a non-home team?

Before I give you my answer to that question I would like to give a break down on different types of Sports fans.

Home Team Across The Board: They like every pro sports team from their home city. They hate every rival team, and display their colors proudly. The best type of fan. This one gets a thumbs up.

The Different City Allegiance Fan: They, or their parents are from a different area but their allegiance remained. My friend's father is from New York, he likes the Jets and the (please hold your laughter to the end) Mets even though he lives in the Philadelphia Area. This type of fan is totally acceptable in my book. If I were to move, my allegiance would remain with Philadelphia. This fan also gets a thumbs up.

My Children's Game

The year was 1876. Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for a little invention he called the "telephone". Johns Hopkins University opened in Baltimore, Maryland. And Heinz Tomato Ketchup was introduced to the public. The nation was only a baby at one hundred years old, but so many great people were causing great things to happen. Greater than all of these events and all these Men, however,  was a greater celebration. In this year, the great Walter Camp was at the Massasoit Convention, drafting the first rules of American Football.

Cool Start Bro!: Week One Bros and Busts.

We last left off with me attempting to explain just how important it is to stay level-headed, and mentally stable, throughout the entirety of the fantasy season; no rash decisions, no feelings about sleepers, and certainly no trades without consulting your uncle Sports Pro first (as my uncle Sports Pro used to tell me). So hopefully you followed my insight, your draft in turn was a success, and your team, and season, looks very promising, if so then I congratulate you. This however is a very small minority, for the most of us will be staring at a borderline team wondering what to do, but it’s okay, there’s no need to panic, especially not today. All you need is a little bit of help, a little bit of advice on how to start your season off right, and with these next few days being the most crucial ones of the year, the days in which we must decide whom we will start/sit for week one, I’ve decided to make it my responsibility to be that help. Now I’m sure, as I stated in previous articles, you may not truly trust what I’m about to say, and due to this lack of trust you may turn to other fantasy writers for advice, and I completely understand, but that would be a terrible move. All the help you could ever need is with me, a man who’s not afraid to admit that he’s made, and learned from, plenty of terrible fantasy decisions in the past…..

College Football: The Average Bro Experiment

It is a strange time of the year for sports fans. Most divisions in baseball have been decided (the few that haven't include the Yankees-Red Sox battle where the loser will have the terrible shame of...making it into the playoffs) , regular season football is still a week away, there is no NBA on the horizon and the Little League World Series is over. What a boring time. A boring time for every one except for one group of people (who are actually a pretty big majority). Fans of College Football.
