  • Browns release Donte' Stallworth

    8 Feb 2010 | 4:48 pm
    For those teams looking for a once-highly regarded wide receiver who hasn't played in the NFL since 2008, will turn 30 this year, has never caught more than 70 balls in any season and has started just 16 games since the beginning of the 2007 season, your guy is now available. One day after Donte' Stallworth was reinstated into the league after a season-long suspension for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk, he was released by the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns in March 2008, but he played only one season for them. He…

  • Broncos owner wants Brandon Marshall, Kyle Orton to stay in Denver

    7 Feb 2010 | 11:41 am
    Brandon Marshall's days in Denver are probably numbered, but if Broncos owner Pat Bowlen had his way, Marshall would have many more days in Denver. Bowlen also told the Denver Post that he would not try to overrule head coach Josh McDaniels. "I'd like to see Brandon stay," Bowlen said. "Now, if the head coach sits down and says no, I want to trade him, or I've got a deal that's going to be beneficial to the club, I don't think I'm going to override him. ... I think Brandon is going through a maturing process. Personally, I saw change in his personality and approach to things (this past…

  • Jaguars to release Torry Holt on Monday

    6 Feb 2010 | 8:30 pm
    Wide receiver Torry Holt ranks in the top 30 among all-time NFL receivers in touchdowns with 74. But last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, he didn't have a touchdown and by Monday, he won't have a team to call home either. Teams aren't allowed to waive players during the offseason until the Monday after the Super Bowl, but the Jaguars have already given Holt advance notice that he won't be back. He is under contract with the Jags through the 2011 season. Holt signed a three-year, $13 million deal with the Jags in April. Along with not scoring, he set career lows in receptions (51) and…

    Wow, what an experience. Go out and get yourselves some wings at Buffalo Wild Wings - they truly treated us like royalty this weekend and the game did not disappoint. While my husband and I were clutching our faces in dismay as the interception was returned for a touchdown, and everyone surrounding us seemed to be a Saints fan (50-year-old fan in front of us literally jumped up onto the seat in front of him and a woman nearby was crying she was so happy), it was still an event that I will never forget despite the unwanted outcome. And really, I can't be all that sad that the Saints won, just…

It's possible I'm the only one cranking out anything even close to work here - I'm seeing lots of beers, lots of sun worshipers, and all sorts of football fans. It's actually really interesting to see all of the teams/players that are being represented down here - I cheered on a fellow Broncos fan who passed me on the sidewalk but I've seen Giants fans, Favre fans, and Steelers fans amongst the throngs of Colts and Saints fans.

  • Mike Martz in with Bears for Better or Worse | NFL Fantasy Football Rankings

    2 Feb 2010 | 3:56 pm
    With the acquisition of quarterback Jay Cutler via trade last offseason, one would have thought the Chicago Bears would at least compete for a playoff spot. Instead of finding the postseason, the Bears had to rally at the end of the season just to finish with a record of 7-9. While this record was an underachievement, it doesn't look that bad when you consider the lack of production from the offense. Despite having stars like Cutler and Matt Forte, the offense finished 17th in passing, 19th in scoring, and a horrible 29th (only 93.2 yards per game) in rushing. With this lack of execution, it…

    So this is it, this week is the fantasy championship. Hopefully all of you are into your championship game and if not at least have a chance to win some money back or pride. Last week, the huge snowstorm affected everywhere from Baltimore to New England. Take a look at some of the weather reports before you pick your starters this week just to be sure.

    Well everyone is now into the playoff season and looking for the right moves in order to advance to the championship round. This becomes difficult with the rumors of people sitting and some injuries to key players. Decisions begin early this week as the Colts take on the Jags on Thursday night. No one knows how long the Colts will play their starters so it becomes risky playing any Colts starters. This time of year some teams play many of their rookies so they get some playing time and experience to see what they can do. The Saints will also be playing the Cowboys on Saturday night.STUDSQB…

Fantasy moves this week can make or break and entire season. This week has many good potential match ups for some of the league leaders in points.

    I think Matthew Stafford is a keeper for the Detroit Lions, but he crossed me up on Thanksgiving. I went ahead and sat the Packers vs. Lions in favor of the Vikings vs. Bears which looks like a huge mistake seeing as how the Packers went for 22 points. The problem was I didn’t know how banged up Stafford and Calvin Johnson were. Stafford was playable (but if I’m the Lions no way I play my franchise hurt here) but Calvin Johnson should have been out for sure, he could barely run (he really should have been on the sidelines). Unfortunately, I didn’t know these guys true…

    I don’t care what Dan Dierdorf says, I thought Gumble had a good line (you had to have watched the Colts vs. Texans last week). Anyways, if you’re a Dallas Clark owner (like me) with playoff and/or championship aspirations (like me), you’ll want to add Tom Santi as an escape valve this week. He had 6 catches for 80 yards last week and was primed for a touchdown had he not fumbled the ball. But, don’t get preoccupied with the fumble, Peyton Manning was looking to get him involved with Dallas Clark on the field. Clark ended up catching only 1 ball for a TD. Normally, I…

    The gameweeks are coming thick and fast at the moment and with the FA Cup this weekend and the Champions League not resuming until next week, there’s a full set of midweek matches to gorge over. It’s like Christmas all over again. Week 25 was reasonable enough but a score of 50 points was a point below average but relatively speaking my second worst of the season (rank: 1,244,616). Captain Rooney saved the day but I regretted not going through with my plan of bringing in Drogba for Tevez. Still ranked in the top 10,000 overall so it’s not too bad but that’s two…

The Pigskin ended up tied for 55,478th overall and in 18th place in the 9beersfantasysportstavern league. And we have you to thank. With the fantasy football completed for the time being, it’s time to shift gears (pardon the pun) to fantasy NASCAR. And once again, it’s time for…

    You, the  Internet, found time between your shopping for snacks and your selection of lucky jerseys to voice your opinion on the People’s Pigskin lineup for the Super Bowl round of the NFL Fantasy Playoff Challenge. Here’s the lineup, and here’s the breakdown. Quarterback. For the third round in a row, the votes went to Drew Brees. Because he’s starting for the Internet’s favorite fantasy football team for the third straight week, he gets triple the points. Running back.

    8 Feb 2010 | 11:23 pm
    Mike Garafolo, of The Star-Ledger, reports New York Giants FS Kenny Phillips (knee) is ahead of schedule in his rehab following knee surgery. Phillips was recently given the green light to start jogging in the pool. However, with training camp five months away, doctors have told him not to rush. He won’t run until March 29, exactly six months after the operation. In the meantime, Phillips rides a stationary bike, does leg presses and walks forward and backward on the treadmill.

"I'm a man of very few words; I understand very well what silence means," Peppers said. "I do it a lot and I understand that. You being silent to me, I understand exactly what you're trying to say.

Payton decided to use it on the second-half kickoff. The Saints were able to recover the kick, and they took advantage of it with their first touchdown of the game.

  • 2009 Was The Year of the QB

    1 Jan 2010 | 12:16 pm
    NFL quarterbacks are having a banner year. Eight QBs have each passed for at least 4,000 yards, already the most 4,000-yard passers in a single season in NFL history (seven in 2007). With one week to play, three others are within 300 yards of 4,000 – BRETT FAVRE (3,886), ELI MANNING (3,880) and KURT WARNER (3,722). Nine quarterbacks have passed for 25 or more touchdowns in 2009. That number may grow in Week 17 as TONY ROMO (24), JAY CUTLER (23) and BEN ROETHLISBERGER (23) are each in range of the 25-TD milestone. The NFL record for the most quarterbacks with at least 25 touchdowns in a…

Cincinnati, Dallas, Green Bay, New England and New Orleans did not make the playoffs in 2008 but have done so this season. This Sunday, that number may grow to as many as seven. Of the seven teams in contention for the final two AFC Wild Card playoff spots, four did not qualify for the postseason in 2008: Denver, Houston, Jacksonville and the New York Jets.

  • 10 Things to Know before the Super Bowl

    rkelly8686
    5 Feb 2010 | 3:21 pm
    The average number of points scored by the winning Super Bowl team is 30.1 points while the average for the losing team is 15.3 points.  However, those numbers are somewhat skewed by the assortment of rule changes that have favored the offenses.  Before the adoption of the illegal contact penalty in 1978, the average score was 23.4 to 9.6. Drew Brees has yet to win a playoff game outside of the Superdome.  If the Saints win the Super Bowl then Brees will become just the 8th QB to have his first career non-home playoff win come in the Super Bowl.  The last to do it was the recently retired…

    1 Feb 2010 | 8:58 pm
    Anyone who’s paid close attention to the offensive alignment of the Colts during the Manning-era knows exactly where the receivers will line up on a given play.  For years it was always Marvin Harrison on the right (now Pierre Garcon) and Reggie Wayne on the left.  In fact it’s almost mind-boggling when you look at the split statistics of Wayne and Harrison: 74.4% of Wayne’s 676 career receptions have come left of the hashmarks and 73.3% of Harrison’s 1102 career receptions came right of the hashmarks.  Since the two were never aligned side-by-side, then on nearly every play at…

  • Three Eagles, Limitless Scenarios

    tomvanwyhe
    28 Jan 2010 | 5:22 pm
    It seems that every year around this time we consider the futures of two NFL quarterbacks: Brett Favre, who tends to waffle on retirement until at least April or, last year, July; and Donovan McNabb, who is rumored to be traded constantly. This year the latter rumor is very interesting to consider, partly because McNabb might be destined to replace Favre in Minnesota, or Warner in Arizona. In Philadelphia, three household names might be elsewhere next season. McNabb tops the list, but he’s followed closely by long-time and oft-injured teammate Brian Westbrook and unorthodox quarterback…

  • Philip Rivers: King of the Long Ball

    rkelly8686
    28 Jan 2010 | 10:42 am
    Every time I watched the Chargers play, it always amazed me how often Philip Rivers hooked up with one of his receivers for a deep pass. Lots of QBs pile up big numbers because their receivers gain YAC but it always seems that with the Chargers, most of their yardage comes from when the ball is in the air (Sproles not withstanding). Thus, I tracked down the stats of all of the playoff QBs’ numbers when they threw a pass 30 or more yards. It’s important to note that these are not 30+ yard pass plays but rather only plays in which the ball was in the air for 30 or more yards. Here…

  • Marshall’s Risk-Reward Will Make for an Interesting Offseason

    tomvanwyhe
    25 Jan 2010 | 11:20 pm
    Brandon Marshall is becoming a lightning rod for attention, and in all the wrong ways. He demanded a preseason trade and was met with a resounding “no” from new head coach Josh McDaniels, who, already under fire after trading former “franchise” quarterback Jay Cutler, was not about to lose another Pro Bowl. So, naturally, Marshall threw a tantrum that would make any two-year old proud: he batted down passes during practice and punted footballs away from ball boys standing mere feet from him. Everyone knows what happened next: McDaniels benched him. Eighteen weeks later…

We all wish we could go back to the draft and change something, whether we want to draft Miles Austin or not draft Matt Forte, but looking at the cold, raw numbers after almost an entire fantasy football season shows us many of our mistakes (and in bar graph form, which makes it slightly less depressing). Where did we get surprised? Quarterbacks The big surprise at quarterback this year for me was Brett Favre, who not only joined the ranks late but also became a fantasy…

  • Foolish Thoughts on 2009 Season: So why didn’t we all draft Chris Johnson?

    It’s insanity. That’s what fantasy football is when it comes to the playoffs. Jonathan Stewart and Jerome Harrison become huge fantasy steals in the final two games, and studs that you’ve depending on all season like Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers clam up and shut down early, even in blowout wins. At least Chris Johnson has continued to be magical every week. I forget how bizarre it really becomes until it’s this time of year again. Now Harrison will likely compel some fantasy footballers to draft him as an RB3 or maybe even an RB2 next season. Jamaal Charles could be…

    Best Bet New Orleans Saints (+5) vs. Indianapolis Colts With a healthy DE Dwight Freeney, the point spreadwould favor the Colts by 7 and justifiably so. However, odds are that if he plays, which is unlikely, it’ll only be in obvious passing situations. Without Freeney, look for this game to feature a lot of offense on both sides of the ball. Brees and Manning should be able to match each other score for score but we give the overall edge to the Saints now because of their ability to run the ball. RB Pierre Thomas will have a nice day on the ground and his ability to pick up yards - and…

    The Super Bowl is finally upon us. It features the two top seeds from both conferences who each started out the season 13-0. The Colts are here after two commanding post season victories over the Ravens and Jets. The impressive part about the AFC Championship Game is that after going down 17-6, Manning rallied his troops to outscore New York 24-0 over the final 32 minutes of the game. The Saints on the other hand are fortunate to be in this position. After an overwhelming 45-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in the Divisional Round, it took five turnovers, one being an infamous…

  • As The Outlook On Freeney’s Injury Worsens, The Saints Odds Look Better

    admin
    1 Feb 2010 | 7:43 am
    The news regarding Dwight Freeney’s ankle injury got a whole lot worse on Sunday and there’s a real chance he will be unable to play in the Super Bowl. What was initially described as a minor ankle injury is really a torn ligament, and the pass rushing specialist’s availability, or if he plays, effectiveness, is in doubt. How does this affect your betting strategy? If Freeney is unable to go or limited, the Colts will have very few answers to stopping the Saints passing attack. It used to be that when S Bob Sanders went down, the run defense disappeared. Well, Jim Caldwell…

  • Dwight Freeney’s Impact on the Point Spread

    29 Jan 2010 | 9:28 am
    The Colts started out as a 6 point favorite which is where they currently remain at Bodog. While we like them at this number with their roster as is, word came out yesterday that their best defensive player, DE Dwight Freeney, had an ankle injury much worse than the team was letting on. When the injury occurred late in the AFC Championship Game it didn’t look good at all. He came down awkwardly on his ankle and immediately headed towards the sideline. His day was done at that point thanks to the Colts commanding lead. But if he’s forced to either miss the Super Bowl or is unable…

    The early betting line is Colts -6. This seems about right and at this point, looks tasty if you’re planning on placing money on Indy. The only thing to keep an eye on would be the injury to DE Dwight Freeney. According to various reports, Indianapolis is saying that he’ll be fine for the game. And historically, he’s been a fast healer, so the extra week off should help. But this is one injury which would be more damaging to the Colts - and the point spread - than any other besides Peyton Manning. We’ll provide a more in-depth analysis closer to kick off, but one thing…

    On November 21, the course of the Knicks’ season took a curious turn when Nate Robinson shot at his own basket.  Even though the basket didn’t count and he only released it after the buzzer had already sounded, coach Mike D’Antoni was furious.  The incident was in many ways a microcosm of Robinson’s career in New York.  And it was the first domino to fall in a fascinating sequence of events for the Knicks. Ten days and five consecutive losses later, the Knicks were 3-14, and the organization’s outlook was cloudy at best.  This was the year that they were supposed to turn…

The group as a whole is deep, but it's not near as top-heavy as it has been in previous years. I'd be perfectly content taking outfielders in rounds three and four after ignoring them in the first two rounds. There is star power in the outfield, it's just that there is more elsewhere. The one place you can't go wrong? Taking Ryan Braun as the first outfielder. He hasn't even played three seasons in the bigs,…

    Filed under: MLB Kids Are Alright, Draft AdviceIf you've been keeping an eye on Buster Posey lately, you'll notice that his average draft position is starting to creep up. Over the the last week he's moved from being selected in the 24th round to the 23rd round, and that movement has likely all been in the last few days after news came out of San Francisco that Posey was going to be looked at for an infield position. It's easy to see why fantasy GMs are clamoring over Posey. The soon-to-be 23-year-old catcher belted 18 home runs and hit .325 in 422 minor league at-bats in 2009. This tryout on…
