  • Tuesday Morning Quarterback

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Peyton Manning only completed 46.7 percent of his passes Sunday, what a scrub…It’s now clear the whole RBBC situation in Indy had more to do with Joseph Addai’s shoulder injury than anything else. He’s officially back to being a top-3 fantasy player…Nice to see Reggie Wayne flash some…

  • Fantasy Basketball Draft

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer The following is my main league’s fantasy hoops draft that took place last week, rounds 1-10. One huge thing to remember here is that we don’t count free throw percentage or turnovers, so it’s unique in that aspect. Also, we use weighted categories, with points, rebounds and assists…

  • Bet on It

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Last week I went 11-3 ATS and 13-1 straight up, losing only the Eagles game in the final seconds. Apparently, even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time. I’d say odds are I never have as good of a week ever again, but it did…

  • Mid-Season Fantasy Football

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Yesterday I competed in a mid-season fantasy football draft. It’s a “best-ball” league, so there’s no transactions after the draft. It was team quarterback and regular scoring (no PPR). Here are the results. With that in mind, I figured I’d unveil my new top-10s – this isn’t only…

  • World Series Preview

    A little tardy here, but I figured I’ve got to keep my momentum going. And by momentum I mean I got the Boston/Cleveland series right. The Rockies have won 21 of 22 and might have some homefield advantage considering the weather. Still, the big layover can’t help, and the Red Sox come out of the…

  • Tuesday Morning Quarterback

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Anyone who was surprised the Ravens lost at Buffalo hasn’t seen the team play this year…Remember in the preseason when Dick Jauron was talking about a running back by committee?…For whatever reason, Lee Evans has been much more productive throughout his career (a three year sample) during the…

  • Bet on It

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Last week I went 6-5-2 to put my season record at 38-43-8. I’m two games over .500 over the last three weeks, so while that’s nothing to write home about, I seem to be improving as the season moves along. That said, this is a pretty rough slate…

  • Monday Morning Quarterback

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer The Ravens and Rams quarterbacks combined for a 0:6 TD:INT ratio with six sacks Sunday. Both running games got 2.5 YPC with two lost fumbles. Ugly stuff…If you can get 75 cents on the dollar for Torry Holt, do it…Mark Clayton is the new Michael Clayton. Running back…

  • Bet on It

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Last week I went 6-7-1 to bring my overall season record to 32-38-6. My boy Chris Liss is an outrageous 21-6 ATS over the last two weeks, putting me to absolute shame to the point I no longer go outdoors. I need a strong bounce back week, but…

  • Championship Series Preview

    Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Comments: At this point, this has become pretty much an exercise in futility. At least I got one division series right. Anyway, the NLCS features two NL West teams who could not be more surprising still playing baseball in mid-October. The Rockies have won 17 of their last 18 games,…
