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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I know Al Davis is obsessed with speed, but he’s really outdone himself this time. Check out his latest find. He really flies. Outlook: While only on Special Teams for the time being, this kind of player will force the coaching staff to get him on the field in more offensive situations. He has good football [...]
You know what’s great? A 1pm deadline for getting your starting roster set in your fantasy league, and hearing about an out of the blue deactivation after 1pm. Out of nowhere, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio inactivated breakout WR Mike Sims-Walker just before their 4pm game with Seattle. No injuries, no rumours, nothing. [...]
There is nothing worse in fantasy football than the wait between making an offer, and waiting for acceptance of said offer. In most leagues, there are owners who quickly respond to emails and inquiries, and others who you aren’t sure if they even have e-mail. But no matter who you are dealing with, when you [...]
Just like that, the quarter point of the NFL Fantasy season is upon us (for those of you who have leagues that play Week 17 and are thus not technically there yet, what the hell is wrong with you?). It’s a good time for us to take a good look at our fantasy teams and [...]
5 catches, 98 yards, 1 touchdown. That’s a nice game for Terrell Owens. Too bad those are his numbers after THREE GAMES this season. Oh, hold on a second, I forgot to add in his stats for his Week 3 game against the Saints. Oh right, that’s because he had none. Terrell Owens has been a dominating [...]
It was certainly and up and down year for Chicago Blackhawk Patrick Kane. On the up side, he had a solid regular season (25 goals, 45 assists in 80 games) and an even better playoffs (9 goals, five assists in 16 games) as the young Blackhawks squad made a surprisingly deep run in the playoffs. [...]
If you, like me, have Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez in your fantasy league, and thought THIS was going to be the breakthrough year, you were probably as disappointed as I was when he wrecked his knee without getting touched. And you, like me, were probably doubly-disappointed when you saw Pierre Garcon go 48 yards for [...]

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 [...]
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. [...]
