How Fantasy Becomes Life: Matthew Berry’s “Fantasy Life: The Outrageous, Uplifting, and Heartbreaking World of *Fantasy Sports* From the Guy Who’s Lived It”

Imagine being late to your own wedding because you and your buddies were drawing numbers for the upcoming fantasy draft. Imagine breaking your spine and then days later drafting your team while a nurse drains your bladder with a catheter. Or my favorite … Imagine wearing a lion outfit and then being hunted with paint ball guns by 12 of your fantasy football buddies because you finished last in your league. All true stories. All detailed in Matthew Berry’s Fantasy […]

10 Yard Fight – Andrew Luck Has ColtsNation Feeling ChuckStrong!

The Indianapolis Colts are surprising football fans this season, thanks to a hotshot rookie QB and a show of strength for their coach.

Cold as Ice: Hot Starts and Cool Chaos

As if often the case, the first two weeks of the NHL season have been rife with some early surprises. Several stalwarts from last year have shown some early signs of trouble, while a few of last year’s whipping posts have been flashing some signs of hope for their fan bases. For anyone who loves good hockey, these are things to be excited about, even if you know deep down in side they probably aren’t going to last. Fans of […]

10 Yard Fight – Arian Foster Is Alive And Well

Fantasy Football seems to rule the world. Okay, maybe not the world. But I don’t know too many football fans who aren’t in some sort of Fantasy Football league. The NFL has to be chuckling because while it’s not the biggest reason that the NFL is the premier sports league in the United States, it’s definitely partially responsible. Gamblers are thinking, “Hey, what about us?” Players seem to act differently when it comes to Fantasy Football. Maurice Jones-Drew challenges all […]

10 Yard Fight – Uncle Dave

Before I get to the nuts and bolts of yesterday’s games, I wanted to lead with something that’s not necessarily about football, but I will tie it into football at the end. This week’s 10 Yard Fight is dedicated to my Uncle Dave. For the last seven Septembers, my rather large family has gathered together at my Uncle Dave’s favorite beach to celebrate his birthday. On the drive home from the beach yesterday, JJ, my youngest son asked me if […]

10 Yard Fight – Are You Ready For Some Football?

The 2011 NFL season is nearly upon us. I do that Sweet Chin Muzak baseball column on this great website, so I figured that a NFL column was a natural progression. The column will be published on Sunday night/Monday morning and will discuss ten of the ongoings of the Sunday games. There will also be a heavy Fantasy Football slant to the column since I love me some Fantasy Football almost as much as Terrell “I love me some me” Owens loves himself. […]

Blerd Radio Episode 6: The Drunkcast

Blerd Radio is back after a short hiatus. We’re still trying to nail down the right je ne sais quoi (is that spelled right?) so we’re playing with different time slots and host combinations. This week, I jumped from my friend Jim’s “Funny Like Car Accident Funny” podcast right into my own show-so I was warmed up, in more ways than one. There was definitely a higher level of intoxication happening than on your average podcast, but me, Jim and my friend Will still managed to […]

Hope I Die Before I…Hey, Wait a Sec…

Super Bowl 44 was exciting enough-at least until Manning got intercepted halfway through the 4th quarter. Although I put money on Indianapolis to win, I’m kinda glad it went to New Orleans. When the best things to come out of your city in the past twenty years are Lil Wayne and Harry Connick Jr., you deserve all that you get. Man, but did you check out that halftime show? Never mind the fact that Queen Latifah’s performance of “America the […]
