Reads: Frank’s Flops I have a slightly depraved colleague who refers to himself as “Frank.” I’m not sure if “Frank” is his real name, but after meeting him I forgot to ask. He’s a lot like Seinfeld’s Kramer in the sense that you might notice one outrageous thing about him immediately, but within 30 seconds… Read More ›
Matt Waldman’s Second RSP Writers Squad
This was actually my first squad, but admittedly I was a little uncomfortable going with so many first and second-year players as starters in my offense. As the summer played out, I see that perhaps my first inclination has as much or more promise as the team I published last month. The only changes I… Read More ›
Subversive Predictions for 2012
Warning: If you use my picks to place bets, make fantasy picks, or enter other contests of prognostication, you are a fool and you deserve to lose. Unless you have a stroke of dumb-luck success and you’re giving me a cut of the winnings, don’t write me about your failure. It’s that time of year,… Read More ›

Why I Thank You Every Week Nearly eight years ago, I worked in the call center industry. Yes, thank you for that quick twinge of collective telepathic sympathy – the job is truly a weigh station for lost souls.
The Sideline View Google Hangout: Zierlein, Bloom, & Waldman
Lance Zierlein was kind enough to invite Sigmund Bloom and I to a hangout to talk overrated and underrated fantasy prospects. Here’s the 24-minute conversation that starts at the 0:27 mark. Brandon Lloyd…Choo-Choo!!!
RSP Writers Q&A: Jene Bramel, Footballguys.com
Bramel RSP Q&A You gotta love reading the work of a writer who understands how to complement simplicity with complexity and present it in an easy to understand manner. I think Jene Bramel does this as well as anyone in the football hemisphere today. Whether its injuries, X’s and O’s, or fantasy football strategy, Bramel… Read More ›
David Wilson
Many of you may remember that I did a series on David Wilson’s game at Virginia Tech and how it translates to the NFL. One of Wilson’s issues was the tendency to bounce runs outside to attempt the big play. I euphemistically call this “the corner store,” because it is fun to visit but few… Read More ›
RSP Writers Project Q&A: Joe Goodberry, CincyJungle.com
Joe Goodberry writes for Cincyjungle.com. A regular of the football Twitterverse, Goodberry is one of the diehard draftniks frequenting social networks during the offseason. His RSP Writers Project Team is quarterback-driven on offense and features a 4-3 defense with two well-known 3-4 outside linebackers as bookends in his front. Find out the thought process behind… Read More ›
