Personally it began with low expectations for the BeaverCats (if I hadn't dealt Grossman/Beck I probably would have DS'd Cam Newton) but thanks to some fortune from the auction (Can you say Camlicious! but also Tolbert played like a...

What's still not known is how many of the underclassmen enter (losing Matt Barkley didn't help) the draft, this is shaping up to be a strong draft at the top (1st & 2nd round)...

It's funny, winning is a great feeling but you remember the losses more, especially in those years when you're teams ridiculous (Team Kitty '04, Ron Jeremy '07, BINGO '11) but goes soft at the...

In what many NFL draft experts have been calling a fertile one, particularly for franchise quarterbacks, featured backs and difference maker receivers. There's special talent at the top and plenty of eventual pro bowlers in the early rounds, all which provide...

Note that the top 5 teams were from the NFC conference, and 7 of the top 9.

Team Kitty sends RB Ricky Williams to BINGO for $1 in 2012. BINGO drops TE Travis Beckum to make room for Williams. Analysis: This is a small deal for depth, a good one for TK to add a dollar in '12 and BINGO loads...

Short Bus sends RB Chris "Beanie" Wells ($55, '11), RB Chris Ogbonnaya, and QB Brady Quinn ($11, '13) to Strongfighters for QB Tony Romo.

The Jack Trippers receive QB Josh Johnson ($11, '12) and East Bay Funk's 2012 RP for QB Philipp Rivers. With a conditional...

Team Kitty's squad is in rebuilding mode but he loves stirring the pot and seeing things go down. If he wasn't building for '12 and '13, he'd normally be the most active owner, so I...

The Fightin' Irie acquire RB Brandon Jacobs from IMT for their 2012 Rookie Pick. If the selection...

With the changing winds of the league week by week, QB Matt Moore became disposable for South Whore. The Fightin' Irie acquires QB Matt Moore for ($25, '11) $5 and a 2012 DS spot...

Analysis: Trippers are effectively giving up in '11 to focus on the "suck for luck" campaign for '12. If they land Luck, either via this deal or the earlier...

Analysis: It's refreshing to see Team Kitty take the "long" view in a trade, and if Moore keeps the job, this will elevate South Whore...
