Today is roster cut-down day for my dynasty team. I had to drop my roster from 60 to 53, and after two of my players (Justin Houston and Jaylon Smith) ended on IR I only had to drop five. My rule is simple. Take a lot of shots on late-round and UDFA WRs and RBs. […]

18 Amazing Fantasy Football Draft Picks: Just Add Beer
If I’m a bit melancholy this weekend, it’s because I failed to attend a live fantasy football draft for the first time since 2000. A few things have changed in my life in that time. I already wrote about my mixed feelings on the league and my eventual departure. I finally handed off the trophy, […]
Fantasy files: Why I prefer MFL25s to MFL10s
As I watch the superfluous catches of Philip Supernaw for the Titans, it’s time to talk MFL25. I became acquainted with the MFL10 cult a couple of years ago. I played one league and finished in second, earning me a free league the following year. I stepped up last year, joining my first MFL25. The […]
Going for Two: Fantasy Football Leagues, Oh My
Last night on Going for Two, it was a duo show as our guest, hopefully coming on next week, couldn’t make it. We were fine because there’s always something to talk about in the wild and crazy world of sports. Yes, I’m wearing a Terrible Towel and opening a beer with my teeth. It was […]
Going for Two: Two Football Diehards Editions
I haven’t been posting my Going for Two shows, so I’m going to cheat and get the last two on here. Two weeks ago we brought on multi-time guest Jen Ryan to talk about her Cowboys, MFL10 overload, attending a live draft in DC and drinking cider with a straw. I’m pretty sure she was […]
Going for Two: One More Sigmund Over the Line
Let’s talk about elevators. What elevates a fantasy league? Interesting rules and league members you want to defeat like a Game of Thrones nemesis. What elevates a beer? A twist to what you expected, or just perfect creation of a style. What elevates a youtube show? It’s Sig. Sigmund Bloom ate lightning and crapped thunder […]
Mocking the Scott Fish Bowl
That’s right, Scott, I’m mocking you and your bowl full of fish. Are they those gummy fish? That’s not even a dessert, you father of leagues. I’d like to thank the mad scientists at twoqbs.com for hosting the SFB480 interview series, adding victims, I mean people every day. Oh, if you want to go directly […]
Fantasy Files: Getting in Scott Fish Bowl 480 Shape
Those drafting muscles, they do atrophy. I took a break from mocks and MFL10s because I hate getting those automatic emails multiple times a week and I’m too lazy to turn them off in the system. That and my enthusiasm was waning. The return of the Scott Fish Bowl, this year up to 480 teams, […]
How to Break Up with Your Fantasy League
I broke up with my fantasy league this week. It’s a little awkward as I am in possession of the championship trophy. I’m not going to do a recap of the league’s history or the play-by-play of what caused me to leave. It’s time to move on, but when you’re in one thing for 16 […]
Fantasy Files: Rookie Draft 2016
Let’s set the stage for my 2016 Rookiepalooza, powered by #rookiederangement. I finished in dead center in the Zealots 34 league last year, my tenth consecutive non-championship season. The Zealots 34 Tennessee Titans have won as many titles as the real Tennessee Titans. Thanks to that, I “earned” the following picks: 1.06 2.06 3.06 4.06 […]
