For whatever reason in most fantasy football leagues kickers are just flat-out undervalued and that’s not fair. I dare you to look at your teams of years past and find a player other than a quarterback that scored more points for you consistently than your kicker. Yet, most of us fill up our bench first […] More
For most of the early part of the 2015 season, outfielder Albert Almora Jr. was flying high. His father, Albert Sr., was in remission from his prostate cancer diagnosis and surgery from the year before and the younger Almora, with his mind clear, was making a jump for the Double-A Tennessee Smokies and showing why […] More
“And I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, ‘Come and see.’ And I saw, and behold a pale scowl, and the face it sat upon was Gruden, and hope followed with him.” I might be quoting that wrong. A dream was made real early this month when […] More
Undefeated Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs) takes on veteran Timothy Bradley Jr. (31-1-1, 12 KOs) in a fight that was supposed to be for the vacant WBO Welterweight title. Only Floyd Mayweather Jr. has yet to vacate it. So what does this fight mean now, in regards to that title which may, or may not […] More
If there’s such a thing as too much boxing, that’s what we’re in for tonight. We’ve got big fights all over the place, and, like the revolution, they will be televised.

There’s a universal truth in the NFL and it’s been true for a good long while now; if you don’t have a quarterback, you really don’t have anything. It doesn’t matter how great your defense is, how elite your running back is or how open and uncoverable your star wide receiver is. If the guy […] More
Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester didn’t agree with the umpire’s call on a ball four in the second inning of yesterday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Which happens a lot. What doesn’t happen much is the umpire losing his ever-loving mind. Ump Andy Fletcher charged the mound after the ball-four call to the Dodgers’ […] More
In an offseason filled with blockbuster trades, some of the biggest news comes from the trades that didn’t happen.

When looking at fantasy football production at the wide receiver position, we are truly in a golden age. Last year, it was difficult to go wrong with any premier wideout pick, with only injuries to some key guys slowing them down for a few weeks. But if you were smart and picked for depth, you […] More
Frankie Montas was already a top-ranked pitching prospect for the Chicago White Sox entering the season, but after putting up a 2.55 ERA and recording his first career no-hitter in the first half of the Double-A Birmingham Barons’ season, the 22-year-old may be moving on up the White Sox farm system soon. Montas (1-1) delivered […] More
“Kenny Lofton” is the name you here from scouts when you talk about Mallex Smith and if that seems a little high, then it’s just because you’ve not been paying attention to the Double-A Mississippi Braves. venerable scout texted "Mallex Smith" after just one look. Another Padre selloff–21, .418 OBP, 23 steals in AA, comped […] More
Tuesday afternoon everything will be laid on the table as Tom Brady and his lawyer Jeffrey will stand in front of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and try to all pretend Brady is innocent. The whole circus starts at 9:30 a.m. at the NFL’s Park Avenue offices. I really wish they were televising this. And yes, […] More
