Now that the regular season is almost finished in most fantasy leagues, I thought I would select the 2009 SportPops Fantasy Football All-Disappointment Team. These are guys who have simply not lived up to expectations and are killing their owners. Hopefully you don’t have too many of the guys on this list. And if this [...]
Normally, I’m not a big fan of women’s soccer. But today I found my new favourite soccer player in New Mexico’s Elizabeth Lambert. See the awesomeness below… Some will say she’s a goon. Some will make snide comments about her being a Mormon-hater. Some will ask if these girls stole her boyfriend. Or girlfriend. Some will [...]
Bill Belichick is an evil genius. You don’t usually see Mr. Hoodie on the wrong end of stupidity, but ol’ Bill sure pulled a doozie last night. Up six, and going for it on 4th and 2 from your own 28? Seriously? Sure, it was ballsy, and maybe he didn’t have faith in his defence [...]
Imagine, you’re a Maurice Jones-Drew owner, and you see him streaking towards an easy TD that will help you take the lead, or at least get a nice cushion in your fantasy matchup. But no, he does the smart thing and “Pulls A Westbrook” by taking a knee at the one yard line. This allows [...]
…especially after today, thanks to a home loss to Navy. It reminds me of the last time Navy came to South Bend. And they won. Greg and I were watching that day as Navy ran the option about 435 times that day (would have been a good day to play QB1), and Notre Dame just [...]
Remember when all you ever heard about was parity in the NFL? Anybody could beat anybody on any given day, games were entertaining, and everything was good. These days, though, parity is long gone. Which is weird, because the same system is in place that caused the parity that the NFL wanted. The salary cap is [...]
With the proliferation of Twitter amongst professional athletes, you just know something bad is going to happen eventually. We here at SportPops, being all web-savvy and such, are on the lookout for Twittering gone awry so that we may share with you, our reader. Today’s Twit is the always articulate and hardcore Larry Johnson of the [...]
Why, oh WHY are the Buffalo Bills going on a mini-hot streak right now? They are RUINING our campaign to get Jon Gruden in Buffalo by WINNING. If they keep winning like this, they’re going to save Dick Jauron’s job. We’ll have another 7-9 season, the Bills front office will mumble something about consistency, Ralph [...]
Look, I get it. You love your team. You live and die with their performance. You have season tickets. You go to away games. You dress up in the team jersey and/or a silly costume (certain AFL throwback jerseys this season qualify as both), yell your guts out, cheer the great plays, and boo the [...]
Perhaps lost a bit in the fun and frolic that is this NFL season is a new scheduling quirk unleashed on fantasy players by the National Football League. For the next three weeks, there will be six teams on bye. Yes, six. This is going to decimate a lot of lineups during a critical time [...]
