Joes Final Drive Week 6

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:48:17 EDT

In a crazy week six in the NFL, we saw both New York teams fall, one squad completely give up, and three teams continue their undefeated ways. The Final Drive of week six starts right now!

(3-3) Houston Texans 28
(4-2) Cincinnati Bengals 17

Every once in a while, Houston goes ballistic and puts up mega-points. Matt Schaub once again proves he’s a fantastic fantasy QB… five games a season. The Bengals aren’t an elite team, so you had to expect a letdown eventually after winning four straight. Now they dropped back with Pittsburgh, who are also 4-2, but technically behind since the Bengals beat them head-to-head.

(6-0) Minnesota Vikings 33
(3-3) Baltimore Ravens 31

Why won’t anyone beat the Vikings?! Steven Hauschka’s missed 44-yard field goal keeps the legend of Brett Favre in Minnesota going strong for another week. Who thought that the Baltimore defense would be the team’s weakness this season? They don’t deserve to be called “good” with the amount of points they’re allowing. Take that Ray Lewis.

Welcome to Fantasy Land

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 09:28:13 EDT

Good morning fantasy friends!

Today is Saturday September 26, 2009 so you have a little more than 24 hours to get your fantasy act together or you may end up with that crucial week 3 L.

It has been a very interesting week in fantasy land for me. Lots of wheeling and dealing, some unfortunate attempts at cheating and a hazy injury to Marion the Barbarian. Let’s begin with this “cheating” situation:

So, I am in a random NFL.com fantasy football league. We’ll call it the “Bush League” which is a very appropriate title for so many reasons. One great fantasy insight that I’ve picked up this year is setting up my fantasy alerts. (In most leagues you can set up regular e-mail alerts that notify you of a player’s status, league transactions, starting line-ups, trades, etc). These alerts are very useful because it allows me to check on important league activity without having to log into the site every five minutes. My fantasy alerts proved to be very useful this week.

Joes Gameday Preview Bears at Seahawks

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:06:04 EDT

After winning a game no one expected them to win, the Bears are now widely expected to travel to Seattle and defeat the injury-battling Seahawks. Which Seahawk is injured you ask? Someone pretty important…

How about former Pro-Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck? After being viciously (but legally) leveled by 49er linebacker Patrick Willis, Hasselbeck was discovered to have a fractured rib. Needless to say, the Seahawks are being cautious with their star. No one expects him to be able to play on Sunday, so back-up Seneca Wallace will be asked to fill in.

WEEK 2

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:19:57 EDT

Week 2 is behind us and it's on to Minnesota next...

We are 2-0...undefeated...I have to say I would love to go further undefeated but, after a while you start thinking about it so much, you can't concentrate on the task at hand...playing the game.

Now a lot of things can...and will happen before our bye week.

First: We are going to have a TRUE challenge next week with Favre and Peterson. However, the last time we played Favre, we shut him down! The same can be said about Peterson. He had the worst game of his career against us. So with that being said, We have a chance to be 3-0 after next Sunday.

Second: The Rams...Not to be taken lightly...simply because they are in our division and...they love to beat the 49ers. It's been a LONG rivalry and it will continue.We SHOULD be 4-0 or at the very least 3-1 (if we lose to the Vikings)

Wedge vs No Wedge

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 06:03:46 EDT

We heard about the rule change that bans the wedge on kickoff returns, but how will that impact the game? I was able to get Pete Cronan, a former nine-year NFL linebacker with the Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks to break down the differences between the wedge and under the current rule.

Week 2 NFL Picks

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:33:00 EDT

I was a decent 3-1 last week. Called the Games straight Up and where to take the points. My only lost was the Upset special. Which seems not so special for week 1. The Colts help on for the win, Yet like I said did not cover the spread. The Saints went marching in to the season with 6 touchdowns from Brees. The Dolphins seem to let me down in more then one way, I actual sipped the Ronnie Brown Kool aid and left a sour taste in fantasy for week 1.

The past is the past time to move on to week 2

Start with the easy Suicide Pick. Statistically not an east Pick. I am rolling against the Lions, The Vikes are 1-7 SU in ast 8 road Games......The Lions where not on the Schedule and Favre was not the QB. The best part is AP is Health and running on All cynilders. Ok the Bonus Lions are 2-17 su against the Vikes. When was the last times the Lions won?????

Michael Vick Searching for a Home

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:56:39 EDT

Unless you've managed to live amongst wolves for the past two years you undoubtedly know about Michael Vick's dog fighting ring. Michael has been out of professional football for two whole seasons and most of that time was spent in prison. Although, an average American cannot return to his or her job after being imprisoned; Michael Vick can and he will, because he is a professional football player.
The over used argument, "If this happened to me I wouldn't get a second chance." is ludicrous. If you, like Vick, have a job that only 1% of the population can do I bet you would be allowed back under some circumstances. Most of us; however, do not have this job and we are easily replaced. NFL players are basically celebrities. One cannot expect for the same rules to apply, so don't use that as an argument to keep Vick sidelined.

My interview with 710 ESPN Seattles and The John Clayton Shows producer Liz Mathews

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:03:42 EDT

I recently had a chance to talk sports, working in sports, and even a little Arod with 710 ESPN Seattle’s Liz Mathews. Liz is “The Professor” John Clayton’s producer on The John Clayton show on 710 ESPN Seattle, an avid Seattle Seahawk fan, and she practices law. Liz was nice enough to take the time to answer every question I had for her, and did a great job in doing so.

I got a chance to stream John’s show this past Saturday, and I can honestly say I thought it was very good. My readers know I tell it like it is, so I wouldn’t just say this. Not only was the NFL insight great, but it was very cool to hear John talk about baseball and other sports as well. And not to mention the great music Liz plays coming in and out of the breaks! Overall, the show is very well done, informative, easy to listen to, and fun! Without further ado, here are the questions I had for Liz and her answers:

Let Vick Play

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:39:36 EDT

I really love my animals well animals in general. I understand what Vick did was wrong, with all that hes lost money wise, property wise, image wise and so on plus his prison time served id say he's showed remorse and feels bad for his decisions. Lets also remember this is a guy who revolutionized the QB position by rushing and passing for over 1,000 yards in the same season plus there's plenty of NFL players who get caught with drug charges and weapons possessions and assaults or DV's, most of them still are in the league or are close to being reinstated that's why I say let Vick get another shot. Sure a lot of teams ruled Vick out such as my home town Seahawks but he could be a valuable asset to a team only being 29 and still a freakish athlete!
