I love competition. Most sports fans do and so when fantasy was conceived most sports fans‚ saw their‚ wildest dreams answered. I have never played fantasy before (although next year I’m definitely getting in a football league), but last baseball season I used to play Beat the Streak on MLB.com. The premise is simple. Each day you [...]

The Pats were the underdog for some godforsaken reason. Wait,‚ what?‚ Compare the two teams. New England is stronger is every aspect. Compare the players [...]

Seeing Tom Brady walk off the field hobbling was a painful experience for many fans watching the opener, but the bottom line was that he walked off. Football fans know: if you walk off, there is a good chance you’re coming back. It looks like that isn’t the case. Now reports are surfacing that Tom [...]
