Long Shot

I think it’s unlikely that the Miami Dolphins will hold onto the first overall pick in April’s draft, but if they don’t trade it away to some team gaga over Darren McFadden or Matt Ryan, I think they might just grab Michigan All-American tackle Jake Long.
Nope, taking an offensive lineman is never a sexy pick, [...]

The Top 10 Free Agents

The start of NFL free agency is just over a week away, so the fantasy football juices are starting to flow again. Restricted free agents like Derek Anderson are unlikely to change teams, but there should be numerous contracts signed in the weeks ahead that will have ramifications for the 2008 fantasy season.

I’m done debating the merits of the trade—the Twins were devoid of leverage and thus were robbed—and I’m opting instead to look beyond the lopsided deal [...]

It’s time to get your Ride on!
The Breast Cancer Ride isn’t just another charity event. No, the Breast Cancer Ride is fun, challenging, inspirational, and most of all helpful to a lot of good people in need. And did we mention that it’s fun? The Breast Cancer Ride is Minnesota’s [...]
