Greatness of Fantasy Baseball is also Detriment

The Counselor is IN:

Ten years ago, Fantasy Football was only for sports geeks like me. Over the last decade, Fantasy Football has taken the nation by storm. It is no longer just for stat nerds.

7-9 Seattle’s playoff victory is a good thing

The reigning Super Bowl Champ New Orleans Saints fell to the 7-9 Seattle Seahawks in today’s playoff match. All week I continued to hear about the disgrace of the Seahawks making the playoffs.

I know I might sound like some old timer with these thoughts but I hate that the College football season does not end on New Years Day…

Is Jason Garrett the answer in Dallas?

FSC: Overrated Fantasy Players

The Counselor is IN:

Every season there are players who are taken too early in the draft for various reasons. This does not mean these players are bad players or that you should not draft them. These hyped players will not give you the bang for your pick or your auction dollars that other players might give you. Here is my list of players that I consider to be overrated.[...]

FSC: Customize your cheatsheets

FSC: Customize your cheatsheets

The Counselor is IN: I love it when I enter a draft or auction room and many of the individuals are flipping through their recently purchased fantasy magazines.

Many FF drafts will be occurring in less than a month. It is time to start making lists of players and examining strategies. The moment is upon us.
