09.02.10Mr. T’s RexQB League Draft ReviewMonday marked the draft of the fifth annual Rex Grossman Is Our Quarterback fantasy league in the back room of Ten’s Gentleman’s Club in New York City. Beers, wings, and the occasional lap dance were had and upon exiting the rising sun indicated we had spent too much time and money on our draft experience. The league members are always looking for my opinion of their teams, so here’s a look at how I saw each team’s draft along with their championship odds. Continue Reading...

08.30.10Marble Ryan’s Love and HateLove: Matt Stafford (QB – DET) Stafford may actually belong more in the sleeper column, but I’ve talked him up enough this offseason that I’m probably going to have to draft him much earlier than he’s listed on most boards. In the NFL draft, about 70% of the time, a QB is taken with the #1 overall pick. More often than not, the selection is prompted by the relative importance of the position than the actual player himself. And almost always, the QB going #1 (and getting an ever-increasing guaranteed contract) has some issues that the drafting team is going to need ...

08.27.10Mr. T’s Love and HateLove: Dwayne Bowe (WR - KC) I want to start this piece by getting one thing out of the way: Todd Haley is a moron. Even Antoine Dodson thinks he's really dumb. For real. What he's doing to Jamaal Charles this preseason is ruthless and totally uncalled for: all Charles did was run for an average of 164 yards and a TD in his last four games, and now Haley is playing depth chart mind games with him right now. That is not the right answer. But there are positive things going on in Kansas City other than the barbecue. Last year, Dwayne ...

08.23.10I Pity the Fool: Mr. T’s Draft Instructions (2010 Edition)Everyone who plays fantasy football thinks they know what they’re doing, but the honest truth is that more often than not, they have no idea. Every year plenty of people talk a big game, yet it’s the same handful of us who produce results. Before last season, our friend Marble Ryan claimed to know anything and everything about fantasy football, yet found himself in dead last in our RexQB league standings come December. I laugh at clowns like him, people more qualified to talk about the fat content of a Wendy’s Junior Bacon Cheeseburger than sleeper RBs. Why listen to me? ...
