What the F???

What The F???

What The F is "What The F"? Glad you asked because I wanted to tell you anyway. The "What the F" is my new weekly blog spot to discuss lets see whatever the F I want to talk about.

1. Why is the NFL draft so popular and MLB, NBA, and NHL are all horrible? Lets put it this way the football season is not even over and there are so many mock drafts available online it is almost pushing porn as the most searched (No there is no research behind that). Databases, mock drafts, shit I have even seen mock drafts with multiple rounds. See what I mean about the NFL draft the other main sports get national and others talking about them about a week before they take place.

2. Hockey Fights are for what reason? Alright we know its the only way the NHL can draw a crowd but besides that what does it prove? That looking like this guy (see below) makes you cooler than hobbs or it does not get you chicks?

Alright back on topic here today I read an article about pro's claiming after a game that one bit the others ear and the other one defended with " No I did not he poked my eye" are you kidding me? Maybe these 2 fools should pick up the paper or read the internet about this kid. Don Sanderson age 21 died Friday from hitting his head on the ice during a fight. He was in a Coma for 3 weeks. He played for the Whitby Dunlops which I really have know idea what league or organization they are from but its a club from info on there website.

So please tell me why fighting is needed in the NHL its not allowed in any other sport? I would like to hear a good reason for it thats for sure.

Sad stuff, Rest In Peace Mr. Sanderson.

3. Anyone seen previews for the new reality sitcom Fear 13 or something like that? Looks pretty cool although I have not fallen victim to one reality tv show that I will admit to, this one is something I will check out.

4. Random "What The F's"

• Why is Stephon Marbury still considered an NBA player?
• How does Mike Fisher land Carrie Underwood?
• Is Erin Andrew's as hot as everyone thinks she is?
• Fiesta Bowl can we please see Colt McCoy's parents one more time? No not because I want to because McCoy's Gfriend looks better than Erin Andrews. If Colt was a cornerback he would not be sacking with that.
• Hey Sweater Vest maybe to get your teams prepared for big games dont schedule Navy and New Mexico State, pathetic.

Well thats enough for today if you enjoyed stop back in to see when another one is up. Will try and do one a week or maybe even more.

Addicted to Fantasy Football????

Hi, my name is Bill (you all know me as HybridTheory), and I am addicted to Fantasy Football. It started innocently enough back in 1999. I was fresh out of college and absolutely loved football, so I got involved in a league and really didn’t do much preparation. I had been in a few leagues before, but it never really clicked. I read some articles, got some cheat-sheets and dove in head first. I took Edgerrin James with pick 1.07 and even after everyone made fun of me for taking a rookie, I was the one laughing at the end of the year. I won, and let me tell you, I didn’t realize just how addicted I was. My problem has only grown deeper throughout the years. Soon I was in 2 – 3 leagues a year, until now I am around 14 leagues, I think. Dynasty, Auction, Re-Draft, Survivor, Cutthroat….you name it, I just can’t get enough. I don’t even play “free” leagues anymore; I don’t have time for that childish nonsense.

There are many signs of addiction, so let me point out a few for you. If you find yourself in Church checking out the injury report and subsequently changing your lineups using your internet friendly phone while the pastor is talking, that’s a pretty good sign you might have a problem. When you are with your kids at a Pumpkin Patch in October having fun riding hay rides, and all that good stuff, and you are texting up to 8 different people in various leagues about trades you want to make before the deadline tomorrow, that is another sign of a brewing problem. When you stay awake at night because you are having a hard time deciding if you should spend over $60 on a QB in a $500 cap auction league that is yet another sign of a potential problem. When your son (who is 7) is watching pre-season football with you and says “Larry Johnson looks a lot better than last year, I bet you will draft him higher this year”, that’s a good sign that you may have reached the need for FFA (Fantasy Football Anonymous). Although that instance did make me smile. Many people sit on the couch watching Football on Sunday, but do you sit there with your laptop with multiple tabs open to every league you own just waiting for someone to seriously get injured so you can pick up that players back-up? Turns out that everyone else at my Sister’s barbeque doesn’t really care if Steve Smith just beat the crap out of one of his teammates. Yet for some reason, it is a very valuable piece of information for me. When your main reason for having a Blackberry is so you can get live streaming information on your Fantasy teams even while you are on vacation in Cancun, that probably signals that you might need some help.

The Rest

Position Battle 1 - Ravens

Reports out of Ravens camp is that Mark Clayton is playing with the first team offense right now. Demetrius currently is injured from what I have read its nothing serious but its opening the door for Clayton. I just keep remembering how everyone was saying this kid is going to be so good in the NFL. I have not seen it at all he was drafted in the first round in 2005 (yeah that was along time ago) and he has a total of 159 grabs and 7 tds, to me those stats belong to a 4-5 round pick in 2005. Can you blame it on the QB, can you blame it on him having off the field issues with his wife or maybe blame it on him being a first round bust?

The Rest Here

5 Card River - NFC West

Fantasy Football 5 Card River Hand 2008
- NFC West Division
* Rankings based on my rankings as of today

I chose the "5 Card River Hand" as a title because I think if you stick with some of these players in your fantasy league you may end up in a damn good spot come playoff weeks or you may say what was Mike talking about non of these guys caught on.

River in No Limit Hold em is the final down card in a hand. That some people get lucky and catch a card for the winning hand.

San Francisco 49er's
- Bryant Johnson - Its tuff to say that Johnson is going to be a threat without seeing him in a few games but this guy has probably taken the #1 spot in SF. That does not say a huge amount about it look up Darrel Jackson and his numbers from last season to seasons prior but it does say the 9ers saw something in him. I would not risk a high round draft pick on him but from what I have seen from him in the past he can be a damn good player in the NFL. Could end up being a very good #2 wide receiver. Ranked no. 47 on my board for WR's

- Vernon Davis - This is the year that Vernon can be a player or he can be moved to another team. Vernon has huge potential and I have always ranked him higher than I should just because the guy has freaky size and speed and can be the best in the league if he keeps his head in the game. Ranked no.5 on my board for TE's

St. Louis Rams
- Drew Bennett - Slides into the #2 spot in St Louis this season with Bruce heading to the west. He showed that he could be a player in Ten. a few years back but seems to always be injured or no where to be found. If he wants to be a player he is going to have his chance this season to do it. With Holt next to him the double teams are not going to be there and if he gets the targets he can be a huge threat this season. Ranked no. 51 on my board for WR's will be moving up I believe in the next week or so.

Arizona Cardinals
- Matt Leinart - I am not a fan AT ALL of the party animal but with Fitzgerald and Boldin with a pretty good line and a decent RB behind him there is no reason he should not be a good QB. If he can stay healthy he could be the dark horse for come back player of the year. Ranked no. 25 on my QB board.

Seattle Seahawks
- Julius Jones - I kept looking over and over and over the Hawks offense and just could not put my finger on a guy that stood out greatly. Mainly because I think they are established enough to be ok. Julius Jones was the only player that I can see being a huge factor and really the only way the Hawks get back to the playoffs. He fits the system pretty well and he wont be ruled by someone that does not like him to begin with, he will be the man he was coming out of college. I see some good things coming from Jones but not anything close to top 10 #s in fact he is rated 26 on my draft board.

V1 Rookie Mock Draft

NLS Rookie Mock Draft V1

NLS staff and members sat down for a 2 round fantasy football rookie mock draft. Trying to base this on this years rookie players opposed to keeper league players. We found out that it was harder then it looks.

ROUND 1
Pick / Member / Player / Position / Team

1. Carnage / Darren McFadden / RB / Oakland Raiders
He's the number one in just about every fantasy draft out there. He will be a top 15 back right out of the gate, possibly better.

2. mjsmooth21 / Jonathan Stewart / RB / Carolina Panthers
He has the size and speed to be a successful NFL RB, not to mention he runs low to the ground and has great lateral moves when taking on would be tacklers. He will split some carries with Deangelo Williams but Carolina drafted Stewart here to be the primary ball carrier of the two. I believe Carolina is this coming years NFC South rebound team, and Stewart will lead all rookies in 2008 in rushing yardage.

3. JABarwick / Kevin Smith / RB / Detroit Lions
Smith is the perfect compliment runner to Tatum Bell. History has shown us that Bell is much better as a #2 or a committee back. Smith will not only be the power runner inside but will also surprise many by how well he catches the ball. You can expect him to be the goal line back as well. He is the clear choice behind McFadden and Stewart.

4. BCZAR / Felix Jones / RB / Dallas Cowboys
To start Jones will get playing time from day 1 by Running Back By Committee is going to be the case no matter which rookie you choose but Jones has good speed and a great system. Barber will get the bulk of the TDs at the start but Barber was not the current coaches pick. I think Jones have more home run potential.

Game 2 From and Indians Fan

GAME 2 - INDIANS 7 -VS- WHITE SOX 2

Mr. Carmona left off where he ended the regular season last year with another dominating performance. Going 7 Innings giving up 4 hits, 1 run, and striking out 4 with the weather cold he did end up walking 4 white sox batters. The sinker was on though as 16 of his 21 outs were grounders and 4 K's? damn thats not to shabby if you ask me. A guy that never grounds into dplays Jim Thome had 2 of the three for the sox.

Grady Sizmore was clutch again going 3-4 with 3 of the Indians 7 Rbi's if the offense can keep producing and the pitching staff stays healthy this is going to be a good year.

Some Pictures from the game. Sizemore, Cabrera, Carmona, and Dye
