Fantasy Football: It’s All About Your Team Name!

Fantasy Football Factoid: The 3 Stooges organized the first Fantasy Football League in 1949! The 1st player taken in the draft was QB Otto Graham!

NFL Predictions: AFC West-Worst of the AFC

Looks like 1 standout in this bunch. Can you guess who?
Chargers-10-6: I know, LT has gone East and Vincent Jackson will soon be a Seahawk (by opening day), so are the Bolts really any good? They’re not that good, the other 3 teams in the division are bad, bad, and worse!

Fantasy Football: Tips from an Unconventional Old School Maverick

 
Fantasy Football (once referred to as Rotisserie Football) has been around for over 25 years. I should know, I’ve been running wild, beer swilling, junk food munching drafts in my garage since the 80’s.
