Our Look At The NFC

By Trevor Freeman

I have a question for Roger Goodell that is deeper and more important than the ones which arise from the “Pac-Man” Jones and Michael Vick situations.  It is one that needs to be kicked around and debated at the highest levels.  The burning issue that I have with the NFL is that they don’t start the season the Sunday before Labor Day.  How awesome would it be to have a consequences-free, “do you want a shot of Jose Cuervo to wash down those Yuenglings” first Sunday of football season. It would be a situation where everybody wins.  The beer companies win.  The bars win.  The fans win.  We all win.

Wake Me Up When the Season Starts

   I am stuck 33,000 feet above ground on an extremely bumpy airplane in route to Orlando, Florida. My flight was delayed three hours due to who knows what back at the Philly airport. The food served on board tastes like a mixture between dog vomit and urine. (Not that I have ever tasted either.) I am squished between two dudes who really need to give Jenny Craig a call and the baby behind me won’t stop kicking my seat. The old granny in first class thinks of something new to complain about every other minute while a group of young ladies, unattractive at that, won’t stop reciting the lyrics to “Stacy’s Mom.” That song is like eight years old, find a new favorite tune. Just when I thought nothing else could possibly go wrong, I look up at the TV to see if anything worthwhile is on, only to find myself watching preseason NFL football. God, kill me now.

NFC East Prediction

For a stretch of years I have been picking the Eagles to win the NFC East. Is it blind loyalty or is it the fact that the Eagles have been playing the role of the top dog in the division for almost as long as Andy Reid has been in town? Call me a homer but the fact is the Eagles have been the best team year in and year out every year in the NFC East, even the disastrous post Super Bowl year they probably had the best talent top to bottom but injuries (and personal conflicts) derailed that season form the start. This year will be no different.

Best of the Backs

Ever since man could talk, it has been an understood fact that drafting running backs early and often is the only way of succeeding in the art of fantasy football, and all other suggestions are destined to fail. I’m pretty sure Jerome Bettis even confirmed it as a man law a few commercials back. Of course there are other ways to build a fantasy champion, but stocking up on feature backs sure can’t hurt. Let’s take a look at the top ten backs, top five sleepers, and five that will plunge to the ground.

Fantasy Rankings

It’s July, everybody. So, that means fireworks, jubilation, and well, that it’s almost August. Which means the NFL season is inching that much closer, and your preparation for your fantasy football draft probably has you pulling hair out or paying that much more attention to ESPN News. Here’s a quick look at the top 10 players at each offensive position going into your draft, as well as 5 sleepers for each position. I know how hard it is to prepare, much less actually draft a solid team. So here are the guys that have the lowest amount of risk, the highest amount of reward, and some damn good reasons why.
