  • One-on-One Fantasy Football-Free!

    Most of you reading the RSP blog play fantasy football. If you’re like me your favorite part of fantasy leagues is the draft. There’s nothing more enjoyable than assembling a team, except perhaps the week you play a heated rival and get a chance to smack talk like you’re James Harrison and he’s Ray Rice.…

  • Reads, Listens, Throwdown 8/31/2012

    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…

  • 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…

  • 20 Wishes for the 2012 NFL Season

    With only days away from the start of the NFL regular season it means time is running out for us to project our hopes on the league, its teams, and its personnel. If the NFL genie granted me 20 wishes (Jimmy Johnson helped me negotiate this deal for the Genie’s right to Trent Richardson), here’s…

  • Reads Listens Views 8/24/2012

    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…
