NFL Picks: Breaking the fantasy seal...
I totally forgot I used to make NFL picks every week, until yesterday. But yesterday I went to a work happy hour and then to see Phoenix at the Warfield (with a slice of pizza and another beer in between), so NFL picks were an impossibility last night as well. Don’t get me wrong, I’m hardly...

“Turkey Bowl Heroes” fantasy...
Turkey Bowl Heroes is the name of one of my fantasy football leagues. Well, not mine, but I’m in it. I have no idea what the name is actually referring to, since I’m kind of late to the party. This is only my second season in this league, so I’m just going to guess the name has to do...

Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Part 3: Secon...
Every fantasy baseball roster needs at least one second baseman, and the lucky owners who draft or trade for a productive one have a security blanket that in many cases will ensure one reaches the playoffs. But how does one find second base perfection? The top three will go extremely early in your draft...

Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Part 2: First...
When I first started collecting baseball cards in 1987, first basemen ruled the Major League landscape. There were six young surefire Hall-of-Famers at first (or so we thought at the time): Will Clark, Mark McGwire, Mark Grace, Fred McGriff, Don Mattingly and Wally Joyner. Hell, maybe even John Kruk...

Odom and I have at least one thing in common

Lamar Odom and I are quite similar, really. Not physically, since I’m not left-handed or 6′10″. Tony Randolph is however, and that brings us to what Odom and I share: ridiculously high hopes for Randolph, as seen in this story from Cam Inman of the Contra Costa Times: “It’s...

NBA Tuesday: Post-injury fantasy advice...
In case you haven’t noticed, NBA players have been dropping like flies this season. And not just any players, really good ones. Somewhat overshadowed by the LeBron and Kobe show this NBA season has become have been an incredible amount of faulty labrums and ligaments. Not that the NBA players have...

Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Part 1: Catchers

Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Part 1: Catch...
Drafting catchers in the first four rounds is always dangerous, much like picking a tight end early in fantasy football. Still, Victor Martinez looked like a sure thing last year. Martinez seemed to have the total package — a .300 hitter with 30 homer potential on a supposedly up-and-coming team. (Cue...

As Week 16 of the NFL season quickly approaches (otherwise known as the part of the season when the league decides to start playing games seemingly every single day), the fantasy football season winds down. As such, most of the people reading this are probably out of the playoffs if they even made...

Iverson for Billups, the aftermath...
It seems all those Warriors/Pistons trade rumors a few months ago probably weren’t that far off. Joe Dumars said there were going to be changes after the Detroit Pistons lost to Boston in the second round of the playoffs, and they waited all of two games to trade Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess...

In the Far West Classic fantasy basketball league (now entering year VI), an annual tradition is that the commissioner writes up a draft recap for every team in the league. I’m not the commissioner. This is only my third year in the league. Most of the people in the Far West Classic are from the...
