See ya, Brett

The on-again, off-again retirement plans of Jets quarterback Brett Favre apparently are on again. Hopefully he won't change his mind -- again. But there are those that think it's possible....

Rating my teams

This season, I have four fantasy football teams. Sometimes, it seems like it's not enough. Others, it seems like wayyyyy too much. Team 1 -- Erie Times-News Challenge. Record: 2-2. Notes: Started the season 2-0 and lost two weeks ago...

Week 4 thoughts

I can't in good conscious start any Steelers player expecting a big game, unless it's the defense this week. Big Ben looked battered and beaten last week, and the Ravens defense won't be easier. I'm starting Kurt Warner over him...

Week 3 thoughts

Keep watching the TV today for news on Adrian Peterson. He's a game-time decision because of a bad hammy. If you have him, hopefully you have Chester Taylor to plug in. ... In one league, I have David Garrard and...

A look at Week 2

Eddie Royal. Man, I like this guy. I liked him so much that I drafted him in three out of four leagues. I would have taken him in the fourth league but that one only had a four-player bench. If...

Giants-Redskins thoughts

I started Eli Manning in one league, and after a few minutes I was pleased. Besides the first-quarter rushing TD, however, Manning was a disappointment from a fantasy perspective. ... Brandon Jacobs' 100-yard game and Plaxico Burress' 100-yard game were...

Saturday's headlines

Rudi Johnson was cut by the Bengals. I know, I know, Chris Perry is the guy there, but I still like Kenny Watson better. ... Kurt Warner is the starter in Arizona. He's a nice option if you miss out...

Friday's thoughts

I can't believe the Lions went 4-0 in the preseason. Don't expect them to duplicate it in the regular season. ... I do like Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson this season. ... Vince Young injured his right hand, but the...

Who has the best fans? The Steelers ...

at least that's what ESPN.com says. I couldn't agree more....

Thursday's roundup

Rudi Johnson didn't play for the Bengals, putting more fire to to rumors that he'll be traded. ... Brandon Marshall's suspension has been reduced to one game from three. Bump him up on your draft board. ... Rashard Mendenhall fumbled...

Wednesday's roundup

Shawne Merriman has been advised to have surgery on his knee. Of course, he still wants to play. Maybe he needs his head examined. ... Ravens QB Kyle Boller has a bum shoulder. Stay away from him and whoever gets...

Catching up on receivers

Opening day is about a week away. Here's a look at receivers: 1. Randy Moss. 2. T.O. 3. Reggie Wayne 4. TJ Housh. 5. Steve Smith 6. Andre Johnson 7. Braylon Edwards 8. Larry Fitzgerald 9. Roy Williams 10. Santonio...

A look at quarterbacks

Next up on the preseason scouting list is quarterbacks. If you were lucky enough to get Tom Brady last season, you probably had plenty of success. Don't worry if you don't get him this season, there's plenty of value out...

Know more than me? Prove it

A couple spots are remaining in the Erie Times-News Fantasy Football Challenge. E-mail me why you should be selected -- if you're up to it. We're doing a live online draft Sept. 2....

Brett Favre

I have Brett Favre fatigue. I'm sick of hearing about Favre. I'm sick of reading about Favre. I'm so sick of everything about Favre that I have him on my list of players that I will not draft this year,...

Let's talk running backs

Finally. The preseason games have started and we can put a rest to the Brett Favre saga and the Casey Hampton weight-loss program. We really can start talking fantasy football. One of the top positions is running back, so let's...

I want some football challengers

Send me an e-mail explaining why you should be accepted for the Erie Times-News Fantasy Football Challenge. While you're at it, talk some smack in the comments below....
