B(eer) League draft results

Brandon — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 16:17:43 +0000

In case anyone was interested, Matt and I participated in our final fantasy football draft of the 2010-11 season last night and I’ve updated the Google Docs spreadsheet listing our team (third tab!) The league is what we consider the B-League (or Beer League) and is more of a way for us to recruit our [...]

Quick update on the Tom Brady car accident situation – sounds like he’s fine. There’s even some (blurry) photo evidence that he was OK after the crash. Also see the post-crash video from the crash here. Also of note – Brady apparently wasn’t at fault: Witnesses reportedly said Brady had a green light and the [...]

Who will be watching the Jacksonville-Denver game in greater numbers this Sunday – actual fans of the teams playing, or Maurice Jones-Drew owners freaking out about his knee?

User Requested Player Ranks – Week 1

Brandon — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:50:38 +0000

With only two days until the beginning of the 2010-11 NFL season, we’ve already received our first request for our annual Sit/Start post for week 1. While I agree that it’s the right time for some sit and start advice, this season FFGeekBlog is going in a slightly different direction in terms of how we [...]

With the regular season only two nights away, it’s time to get serious with the answering of questions for the geeks. Here’s an open forum to formally post any questions you may have going into week 1. We kick it off with a question that I already responded to by e-mail due to the time [...]

More updates from final cuts this past weekend

Brandon — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:58:13 +0000

Just wanted to put up a running list of the important transactions that went down this weekend, starting off with one that raises more question marks than I’d like (since I drafted him!) Seattle Seahawks release WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh – There were rumors that Housh might land in Minnesota, especially since the team cut reclamation [...]

Quick updates on Roethlisberger, Hardesty and White

Brandon — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:56:05 +0000

In case you hadn’t heard yet, there have been some important changes in the status for a few players in the upcoming season. To begin, Browns rookie running back Montario Hardesty will miss the entire season with a torn ACL. I wouldn’t draft him even in a keeper league at this point. Another running back [...]

My boneheaded draft move

Matt — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:34:27 +0000

I hate how much Brandon’s going to enjoy this post, but there’s a good lesson to be learned here so I’m obligated to write it. Our esteemed League of Champions held its draft on Tuesday, and overall I’m pretty satisfied with how my team came out. However, what I’ll likely remember most about this draft [...]

Our 2010 fantasy football teams

Brandon — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:10:38 +0000

With the drafts having taken place recently for the two most important fantasy football leagues that Matt and I take part in, I figured it was worth sharing who we ended up with. In case you were curious, we’re in a keeper league that uses a RB/WR flex position, as well as a “League of [...]
