Manic Monday: Week 17
A clean slate is always a good thing, particularly in a year as challenging as 2021. While having the full-time opportunity with FullTime was certainly a highlight, 2021 also brought much that makes me grateful to turn the page to January. Losing my dad in June was something I was not prepared to accept could […]
Manic Monday Week 16
Merry Christmas and happy holidays, friends. One of the things that makes Thanksgiving stand out is the full day’s worth of NFL and fantasy action that gives football fans even more to look forward to. As luck would have it, we got another day of NFL action on Christmas this year, which makes it two […]
Manic Monday: Week 15
One of the great things about sports is those last-minute, edge-of-your-seat wins. To see a game play out full of drama and to be capped off with a drama-filled win is what keeps us coming back for more. Week 15 was not like that. Instead, we had a week filled with inactive players, disappointing performances, […]
Manic Monday: Week 14
“It’s just a game…” Any avid sports fan has likely heard that. Probably every weekend. People who aren’t really sports fans, or who have to tolerate life with an obsessive one, just don’t, and likely will never get it. They just don’t understand the pain, or how hard we fanatics take things. The truth is, […]
Manic Monday: Week 13
Lucky number 13. There’s just something about that number that will undoubtedly leave people feeling like they were cursed or unlucky this week. I’m an analyst, so numbers are just that to me- numbers. At the same time, I do understand why people feel that way. No joke, I almost always seem to be in […]
Manic Monday: Week 12
Social media giveth and social media taketh away. I’m generally amused at how people handle social media on holiday weeks. For some reason, Thanksgiving food takes seems to be a hot topic and 2021 was no different. As a dad, I’m quite familiar with macaroni and cheese. If my son could, he would eat it […]
Manic Monday Week 11
I remember back when I was about 19 or 20 being the first year I realized “wow, I must be an adult.” That was the first year that I consciously chose to fill up on all the good stuff for Thanksgiving, and didn’t even leave room for dessert. Like most kids, I previously wanted to […]
Manic Monday Week 10
Ugly seems like a good adjective to describe what we saw in Week 10. The action on the field–or rather lack of action–led to some boring games, poor plays, and a lack of fantasy production. Those kinds of weeks always lead to us questioning our process, like anyone could have seen some of this garbage […]
Manic Monday Week 9
Well, that was…something. What a way to move into the second half of the season, with a truly odd week. Some of the league’s best offenses were total no-shows and fantasy scoring appeared to be non-existent. Overall, division-leading teams went 2-4 on Sunday. It was so bad my buddies started texting incorrect versions of player […]
Manic Monday: Week 8
I’ve got to stop buying candy. This year I actually did forget but ran into the drug store during halftime of the early games and got just one bag. Because this may be the final year my son goes trick or treating, I was out and about in the prime hours. Oh, props to this […]
