If we learned one thing about the NFL in week one: the lockout certainly did not slow down the offensive numbers. A ridiculous 14 quarterbacks had more than 300 yards, four of which went over 400. 13 receivers topped 100 yards, including seven double-digit touchdown performances. Needless to say, fantasy teams weren’t suffering. Now it’s time to build on that success and … [Read more...] about Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Building on a strong week

Stadiums, bars, and couches were packed all over the country as fans paid tribute to their fallen heroes from ten years ago and enjoyed the first Sunday during the professional football season.

The 6'6" 270 pound end Allen already has 4 sacks and 26 tackles, and is a sizeable mismatch for Frank Omiyale to guard on Sunday when the Bears play at home. At times Omiyale has looked more "LOST" trying to figure out what end or blitzing linebacker to pick up for a block than the entire … [Read more...] about Tice better be prepared for Jared Allen and company
