The AFC East reaped the benefits of a historically weak schedule in 2008, as two teams boasted 11 win seasons and two others needed late-season collapses to keep them from also notching double-digit victories. Quarterback drama dominated the AFC East landscape last year as Brett Favre’s debut in New York met with mixed results, Chad Pennington’s debut in Miami met with great success, and we all got to meet an unknown quantity named Matt Cassel and the successful New England [...]

So we know the Ravens can run the ball. With their interesting technique of putting a backup tackle at tight end and therefore lining up with 6 offensive linemen, they demonstrate just how committed they are to pounding opposing defenses. And guess what? Willis McGahee is a fraud with a history of injuries. He might even be cut. LeRon McClain is going to be the fullback and short yardage back, as he put on some weight in the off-season. But the 2008 2nd round draft [...]

Tennessee Titans Running Back Chris Johnson is a remarkable athlete, as his astounding and almost inhuman 4.24 second 40 yard dash time clearly demonstrates. Johnson is also an even better football player, as he proved when he burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2008, putting up 1488 total yards and 10 total touchdowns en route to the first Pro Bowl appearance of his very young and illustrious career. But unfortunately, Johnson realizes all too well that he possesses [...]

Reaffirmation of an unjust, arbitrary, and imbalanced legal system which focuses more on the spectacle and less on the principle, was on full display once again this week as the terms and details of Cleveland Browns’ Wide Receiver Donte Stallworth’s plea bargain agreement were recently released to the public. After driving his Bentley under the influence of alcohol at one and half times the legal blood-alcohol content limit, then striking and killing pedestrian Mario Reyes in Miami Beach on March 14th of this [...]

Chad OchoCinco, a.k.a the artist formerly known as Chad Johnson, made superficial headlines recently as his Twitter account was aflutter with reports of another appearance alteration for the infamous #85. No, it wasn’t another blond mohawk or another pimped out gold grill, although it was similarly and centrally located. This time though, the attention-starved media-darling posted pictures and provided insight into his multiple, newly minted facial tatoos. That’s right, following the inspirational example set forth by the mentally stable, sophisticated, and [...]

Someone forgot to tell Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison that he plays a game for a living.  Someone forgot to mention to him that in the larger scope of things– a scope that includes multiple wars, vast economic turmoil, political unrest and contention both at home and abroad– being an NFL football player, even a great one, isn’t a particularly relevant or effective contribution to the real world. So, when the President of the United States, arguably the most powerful and [...]

Don’t Forget Old Timers Can Still Produce  So for those of you who have been reading my articles you will notice that I sort of categorize my sleepers into two categories:  1- The guy who is ready for his breakout; and -  The veteran who has hurt fantasy teams either last year or the last two years and is ready to bounce back.  There is no player that fits the bill of a veteran who disappointed in 2008 than Torry [...]
