Vikings quarterback still fantasy stud…. When the season started quarterback Brett Favre was not on anyone’s radar as a number one fantasy quarterback. At 40 years of age, Favre’s better days looked to be in the rear view mirror or so we thought. In Favre’s last four starts he is averaging 300-yards passing per [...]

To go from AFC Championship to a 4-4 start in the next season could be pretty depressing to the fans of a certain NFL team. Well, that’s exactly what has happened to the Baltimore Ravens. People who look at how the Ravens’ 2009 season has unfolded halfway through could say that this team could realistically [...]

Once again “The Collector” is back this week to let all of you fantasy owners know about those not-so-highly known fantasy gems that continue to score big points. While these diamonds in the rough make noise, we also have some of your weekly Studs that looking [...]

With six weeks of the 2009 fantasy football season complete, it’s time again for “The Collector” to take his weekly stroll along Fantasy Football Boulevard to see who is earning their keep and who needs a swift kick in the behind.
The Collector knows who your every week cash-cows (Brees, Brady, Peterson) are; they’re going to [...]

Everything was going along fine for the NFL’s youngest head coach when he first arrived in New York in 2006, and even more so, two years later, when New Yorkers uttered the names “New York Jets” and “Super Bowl” in the same sentence, and actually meant it.
Yes, former Jets’ head coach Eric Mangini, the disciple [...]

While there are many power rankings out there based as much on hype, expectations, and too often, unrealized and inaccurate projections, at Football Reporters Online, we prefer to rank NFL teams on what’s actually happened, taking into account only how teams have performed on the field and who they’ve played. At F.R.O., you won’t find [...]

New York Jets fans have waited patiently for a long time –- through the past 40 seasons to be exact –- for a chance at another Super Bowl title, ever since Broadway Joe and his Jets fulfilled Joe Namath’s guaranteed upset of the powerhouse Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III.
Since then, the Jets at times, [...]

When ESPN reported that there was a “schism” in the Vikings’ locker room because of the very late addition of former MVP Brett Favre to quarterback the team this season, I wondered if the anaonymous complainers were, in fact, the very people that Favre was replacing.
I mean, really.  Outside of Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels, [...]

While attending an Eastern League AA baseball game in Norwich last week, I was treated to CT Defenders mascot “Cutter” boogying to Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” between innings on the home team’s dugout; PRICELESS.  Yes, while this entertaining figure may not be the Phillie Phanatic (then again–who IS?), this individual truly gives the fans in Norwich their money’s worth at each and every home game……TRIVIA [...]

Great job by the PGA Tour–designating last Saturday as a “Pink Out” day at the Crowne Plaza Invitational in Texas–urging all those in attendance to wear something pink in support of Amy Mickelson (wife of Phil) and to raise awareness for breast cancer research. Having lost my Mom to breast cancer in 2007, I urge [...]
