Sometimes, when I tell someone about my family dynamic, it strikes them as peculiar. “Are you and your wife going to have any more kids?” Absolutely not. One sixth grader is enough, and we have a mountain of cats—five of them. Add in our frenetic border collie, Rosie, and the house is full. My parents
Unless you asked me a direct question about food or sports, I was a child who was very shy around adults. Fighting a reputation for being “rude” to small-town folks because I couldn’t even muster please and thank you on Halloween or at the grocery store was tough. The best way to hone interpersonal communication
The fantasy football playoffs are mere weeks away, and squaring away your rosters is becoming more critical. Here are the top Week 9 Waiver Wire QBs and how to approach them before locking in your claims ahead of Wednesday morning.
Bo McBrayer brings the spice with his Week 4 fantasy football advice, giving you the musings and information you need to keep your lineups “hot-n-ready.” It might be weird, but I romanticize cookouts on television more than anything else. Whether I’m hosting or taking part, sharing homemade food is an essential thread in the fabric
Being a fantasy manager this season has tested patience and maneuverability. I have always, and will always, preach fluidity as a fantasy football team owner, and these first four weeks of football highlight why. You're dead in the water if you refuse to move and shift gears in a landscape like this. Don’t be that guy.
Bo McBrayer brings the spice with his Week 4 fantasy football advice, giving you the musings and information you need to keep your lineups “hot-n-ready.” I wonder if everyone has a party trick—a little unique thing you do well to impress people in social settings. Mine is “really lame,” according to my wife, but I
Football is known to be a game of inches. As we inch closer to NFL Week 3 action and the end of the season, we learn more about these teams and how we need to alter our expectations for certain fantasy football players in 2024. Is Jaxon-Smith Njigba’s Week 2 performance just a fluke? Could
Hey folks! We cannot understate the importance of being in on Week 4 waiver wire players early while the free agency acquisition budget (FAAB) price is cheapest (or free!), so you can add them to your roster. This is not just for adding them to your roster so your league mates don’t get them first;
Believing in New York to pull off the unlikely victory in Week 1 was most definitely not my finest moment of the week, but I did also advise others to be cautious about the small likelihood of that. I can't beat myself too much over believing in the Giants, as Wan'Dale Robinson did deliver in Week 1's predictions via "Storyline, Storytime."
Should I give out bad advice, I’m not really the sentimental type. Being apologetic for failing to predict the future seems disingenuous, anyway. The fine folks at Optimus want me to contribute the stuff that spills from my eyes, ears, and nose, so this column will put just that at your fingertips. Should it aid you in a redraft or dynasty league victory, or even a DFS lineup, that’s cool beans. I aim to win in an entertaining way, so they don’t ever sack me for being boring. Bring on the rush, I’ll stand tall (or scramble) the only way I know: with pizzazz.
