This will not help him get another gig…

2 September 2008 by Christopher Confessore

Tatum Bell made off with Rudi Johnson’s bags Monday while Rudi was in Matt Millen’s office working his deal.  Upon finding the items missing, the Lions checked video surveillance and found Bell doing his best cookie crook impression. Bell took the bags to a female acquaintance and asked her to keep them for awhile.
No, really […]

Favre to Jets

7 August 2008 by Robert Schlesinger

17 years after the Jets traded up to draft QB Brett Favre (and watched him go one pick earlier) … Broadway Brett.

Football sabermetrics: New York, New York — catching (and not) passes from Manning and Pennington

3 August 2008 by Robert Schlesinger

I picked up the Pro Football Prospectus 2008 a couple of weeks ago and have been nibbling from it since. It’s great fun, especially if you enjoy the notion of bringing baseball-style statistical weed-diving to the pro football game. If stats like Defense-Adjusted Yards Above Replacement (DYAR) appeal, this book is for you.
But even if […]

Posada, Shockey — big moves for NY teams

21 July 2008 by Robert Schlesinger

Jorge Posada is going back on the DL — possibly for the season. Who on the Yankees hasn’t been on the DL this season?
And:
Fantasy football disappointment Jeremy Shockey takes his weird act to a place where they dig weird acts: New Orleans. (Oh and the Jets’ disgruntled Chris Baker is on the physically unable to […]

What does a guy have to do around here to find a fall guy?

6 June 2008 by Christopher Confessore

Somebody in the entourage better take a fall quick, or my FANDO team will suck even more than usual…
Run, Marshawn, Run!

A little offseason chatter…

5 March 2008 by Christopher Confessore

So the Falcons signed Michael Turner (Romary), finally getting him out from behind LT, and making him more valuable (possibly a keeper back as a 10th rounder)… except for the fact that he’s in ANOTHER platoon now, with Jerious Norwood (Schlesinger) who watched Warrick Dunn on the way out and was looking for more carries, […]

Bench Pennington

30 September 2007 by Robert Schlesinger

At 1-3, the New York Jets are done as surely as are the choke-artist New York Mets. It’s time for the fellows in green and white to look to the future. Chad Pennington’s time has come and he must be gone.

The unexceptional Jets rolled over to the pathetic Bills on Sunday in outer New York […]

Football futility

30 September 2007 by Robert Schlesinger

The NY Daily News’ Gary Myers does a nice job of quantifying the dismal state of last year’s top NFL running backs. It’s safe to say that most fantasy football draft tip sheets ranked Ladanian Tomlinson, Steven Jackson, Larry Johnson and Frank Gore in some order in the top five RBs.
Tomlinson, last year’s MVP, is […]

Scott & Shaun - Two Peas In a Pod…

13 March 2007 by The Borg

Well, SIMP’s own Scott Smith isn’t exactly a former NFL MVP and league rushing title holder, but rumor has it that he didn’t kiss a girl until he was standing at the altar, much like Shaun Alexander, apparently.  It seems fitting that I traded Shaun-the-24-year-old-virgin to Scott in the FANDO Fantasy Football League last season, […]

Now running for the NY Giants…

25 February 2007 by Robert Schlesinger

Willis McGahee? Thomas Jones? Michael Turner? Brandon Jacobs has to be bumming.
