Humble Apology
Wow, I can’t believe I forgot about Jeff Samardzija. I think that pretty much invalidates my roster in every way. I also agree with Bo on Lee and Wily Mo, so he certainly did a far better job with his roster than I did… But Corey Hart? At DE? Seriously? Whenever I see Corey Hart [...]

My Baseball Player Football Team
Not too many changes from Pat’s list, although I can make a solemn promise to everyone that no matter how many nonsensical rosters we come up with, Alfredo Amezega will never appear on one of my teams. QB Josh Fields – Pat nailed this one like Prince Fielder nailed Pat. I’d go with Mauer as [...]

Well, because we enjoyed doing the WBC rosters so much, we’ve decided to go ahead and continue that type of theme by producing various other nonsensical sports rosters that I can guarantee you won’t find anywhere else (although that’s mainly because most respectable human beings would say they’re pointless and a waste of a time).

Clearly, your data proves that the Big 12 has done a very poor job of producing NFL caliber Quarterbacks over the past few decades, but [...]

While going over the information from the previous post, I also looked at which QB picked turned out to have the best NFL career in each NFL Draft since 1990, and decided to make it it’s own post. Obviously the most recent years are premature calls, but the only person that really cares about doing [...]

First of all, I am intrigued by Pat’s OT idea. It’s definitely different and I like the strategy aspect a lot, although I would say if we’re going to use an old game show formula to determine who gets the ball, we might as well make Chuck Woolery the official in charge of negotiations. [...]

NFL Overtime
Ever since Peyton Christ and his team of humanitarians lost this week without ever touching the ball in the extra period, there’s been a lot of talk about the fairness of the NFL overtime rules. It’s been the topic of the week on talk radio and ESPN since Saturday, and now apparently there’s a big [...]
