Week 12 Observations

Having taken the Jets, a team I almost always root against, in Survivor this week, it was curious, i.e., infuriating, seeing Darrelle Revis unable to cover Stevie Johnson. Johnson is shifty - he made a great move to score a touchdown against Corey Webster in the Giants matchup - but Revis has handled receivers from Wes Welker to Andre Johnson without a problem. Thankfully Johnson shot himself in the foot, so to speak, by dropping what would have been the game-winning touchdown - twice.

NFL Week 12 Live Blog

Chaos week continues - late news on Montario Hardesty and Ryan Mathews are the perfect summaries to a crazy week of injuries. Still looking for a confirm on Mathews, but Peyton Hillis and Mike Tolbert are late upgrades.

Tebow: Do we know what we "know"?

I'm not a Tim Tebow fan.  I never have been, I doubt I ever will be.  I don't like his alma mater.  I don't like the Broncos.  I don't love how he plays the game.  I'm just not a fan at all.

That said, a part of me has been loving every minute of the "Tebow experience" that has taken over the major sports networks for the past month.  I love it for two reasons: 1) some sports analysts (and I can say this because I AM one) take themselves and their opinions WAY too seriously, and 2) there is more than one way to skin a cat, and I love it when a player comes along that makes us revisit this.

How To Navigate The Treacherous Wide Receiver Waters

The wide receiver position has been impossible to predict this season. Is this the time of the season when you should adopt a go-for-broke mentality if you're scavenging for points at the position? Find out ...

Week 11 Observations

The NFL is such a week to week league that it should surprise no one that the Eagles went from losing at home against Arizona's backup quarterback to winning in New York with theirs. Of course, John Skelton was no ordinary backup - he was pushing Kevin Kolb for the starting job - that is, until Skelton was demoted to third string mid-game in San Francisco behind Richard Bartel.

I'm expecting my Bengals to get squashed by the Ravens today, their recent decent history against them notwithstanding. I don't think that they'll be able to withstand the absences of A.J. Green and Leon Hall.

Can Fantasy Owners Trust Matt Leinart?

He has been handed the reigns to one of the NFL's best offenses, but can fantasy owners trust Matt Leinart to deliver or will his past failures be a sign he's going to fail this season in Houston too?

Mama, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Quarterbacks

Ouch!  To say week 10 was a rough one for quarterbacks around the N.F.L. would be an understatement.  Matt Schaub may or may not be done for the year, depending on who you listen to.  Matt Cassel is done (does it matter?) and both Michael Vick and Ben Roethlisberger are banged up enough to have their fantasy owners concerned.

Week 10 Observations

Denarius Moore reminds me of Chad Johnson in his prime. Not huge, but gets downfield and makes the acrobatic play consistently. Maybe that's why Carson Palmer likes him so much.

NFL Week 10 Live Blog

This week, it's the Giants (Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham) that are vexing me with late lineup decisions. I still don't know what to do with Daniel Thomas, either.

The Redskins' decision to start Rex Grossman doesn't really move the needle for me one way or another.

Hey, did you hear Sean Payton will coach from the sidelines? And that Tony Siragusa is there? Yeah, I don't care either.

My AL Tout Wars team
We did the AL Tout Wars draft Saturday morning, once again in "The Bubble" at the Sirius/XM studios. It was a different Tout experience than my usual drafts at Tout - lately I haven't paid for closers there, or spent much on my outfielders. But I'm also one to take the values where they fall. So to that end, here's my squad:

My "Beat Peter Schoenke" Draft Results.

My entry in the RotoWire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship was Monday night. Here's my quick take on the draft - this is a 12-team mixed league, 5x5 categories, 30 rosters spots (23 active), with no trades in the league. It has a top prize of $50,000 and a league prize of $1,400.
