Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB
By just glancing at the list of bye teams below, you can already begin to feel the pain of a number of fantasy owners. Elite quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends are all sitting this week out, and a once lush waiver wire is now as lean as Kyle Orton’s chances of starting again in Denver. But this week is not as bleak as it appears on first glance. Here are … [Read more...] about Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB
NFL Free Agent Running Back Options for the Detroit Lions
Jahvid Best’s fragile health and the recent proposed trade for Ronnie Brown have made me start to wonder what the realistic options are for Detroit at running back. Matthew Stafford can resort to short passes to substitute for the run, but it would benefit him and the team if he was able to take a breather on occasion. The ability to hand the ball off now and again is a … [Read more...] about NFL Free Agent Running Back Options for the Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions: What if They Pulled Off the Ronnie Brown Trade?
The Detroit Lions attempted to address a major situation recently when they tried to bring in running back Ronnie Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles. It made sense for the team because Jahvid Best has recently suffered from concussion issues. Brown also could benefit from a change of scenery from the most disappointing start in the league this season. He certainly hasn’t … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions: What if They Pulled Off the Ronnie Brown Trade?

The Detroit Lions have played their last two games in the friendly confines of Ford Field. Their current record of five wins and one loss is second only to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. The contest in Detroit was a swinging pendulum throughout Sunday afternoon. The numerous false starts were an aberration for the 49ers thus far this season. They were a team that … [Read more...] about How the 49ers Upset the Detroit Lions
Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB
It’s the second week of bye weeks, but this one likely hurts fantasy owners more than last week. The likes of Chris Johnson, Ryan Mathews and Philip Rivers will all be on your fantasy bench this week, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of quality options. There are a few runners who will impress this week and are still available on waiver wires, and a couple passers who … [Read more...] about Week 6 Fantasy Football Rankings: QB/RB
Bears DT Anthony Adams: (Gut Busting Dance Video)
Every great football movie/tv show has the loud, ostentatious, lovable fat guy character in it. Think about it: Billy Bob in "Varsity Blues," the grifter guy in "Wildcats," Tanker in "Friday Night Lights," the list goes on and on. A real life show-off lard ass exists on the Chicago Bears in DT Anthony Adams. It's just too bad the team did not play as well as Adams gets down. … [Read more...] about Bears DT Anthony Adams: (Gut Busting Dance Video)
Detroit Lions 24, Chicago Bears 13: Rapid Reaction
Stop us if you heard this before- Jay Cutler didn't have much a pocket to work with, and his receivers did very little to help him. Matthew Stafford (19-26-219-1-2), on the other hand, actually had some protection, and his two TD passes put Detroit ahead in the third. Jahvid Best’s (12-163-1) 88-yard run later in the third quarter gave the Lions a double-digit lead, and they … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions 24, Chicago Bears 13: Rapid Reaction
