You’ve probably heard this line before, but it’s definitely worth repeating: everyone makes mistakes. Some more than others; some worse than others. Some mistakes can offset a project, a relationship, or even a potential career. Whenever you run into that old friend at the bar or diner and you start to reminisce, those mistakes

The NFL GM The job of general managers in professional sports involve loads of projecting. The name of the game is not acquiring talent who have performed well, but talent who will perform well in the future.

The 2016 NFL Draft was full of talented players, but maybe one of the least discussed is former junior runner, now Chicago Bear, Jordan Howard. Perhaps it’s due to my University of Michigan homer-ism, but I came away impressed with the three games I watched of his namely; Michigan, Florida International, and a 2014 game

Dynasty players should always be viewing their team through a 3-year window. If the player can provide viable production in a three-year period, then he is definably valuable from a dynasty perspective. Personally, I view a player as “breaking out” when they eclipse their previous levels of fantasy production and emerge as a starting presence

One of my favorite ways to get my football fix in, especially during the off-season, is by playing Madden. The game only gets more life-like with every new edition that is released, but it can be just as enjoyable than a football arcade game due to the vast details you can manage. A top option,
