Fantasy Football is done. It’s finished. The 16-week sprint to glory has concluded, and with it, I hope you were able to bring home some championships and bragging rights. After all, it just isn’t fantasy football if you can’t brag about it for the next eight months until we start again....

Fantasy Football Semifinals: Here are the QBs and RBs to help you take the crown
So, you made it through your first round of the playoffs and you’re on to the semifinals. Congratulations! I would like to take a moment to pat my degenerate self on the back — of 27 fantasy football rosters, I had 17 make the playoffs, and all 17 are on to the next round. That was easily my best we...

Fantasy Football playoff matchups to watch: QB and RB
You made the fantasy football playoffs? In this economy? Congratulations, you lucky SOB! Navigating this season of turmoil deserves a lot of respect — or a tip of the hat to lady luck.

The Flyers have been relegated, but Philly fans prolly still won't shut up about 'em
A wide swath of soccer fans have been clamoring for a promotion/relegation system for MLS.

Enjoy a Thanksgiving Daily Fantasy spread with all the trimmings [Updated]
It’s late on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving as I write this (but you probably won’t read this until Thursday morning, like a normal person). Maybe your turkey is brining, maybe it’s resting in your fridge, maybe it’s on the smoker, maybe you aren’t doing a turkey at all. Whatever Thanksgiving l...
All the highs and lows from a wonky week of fantasy football
It’s Monday. Sorry about that. But hey, it’s not all bad. We have more football to look forward to tonight, with a lot of fantasy assets on the field between Tompa Bay and the Los Angeles Rams. Yesterday was straight up kooky, like most Sundays are. Like, for instance, this:...

Does no fans mean more scoring across all sports?
We’re now something like six months into the no-spectators sports world. Seven if you start with the German Bundesliga in May. It’s been only a little more than three here in the Colonies, as the NBA, NHL, and MLB started at the end of July. Football has only been through four weeks. And yet a commo...
