2010 is half over, as is the NFL off-season. Soon, teams will begin training camp, then preseason games… then it’s on.
But in 2010 we’ve already seen an alarming number of NFL player arrests, suspensions, fines, and other general misbehavior. Therefore, I decided to create the 2010 NFL All-Screw-Up Team, Preseason Edition. It’s similar to John Madden’s All-Madden team only… you know… here they’re being honored for their propensity to make appallingly stupid mistakes, as opposed to their on-field talent.
Without further ado, here is this year’s best players by position—and by...

Okay, so I’ve had a few questions about how the whole “additions” thing works, so I thought I’d explain–and announce our new referral incentive program (almost sounds official, doesn’t it?). Everyone starts with 20 “additions” in their account. After picking your two full-roster selections and 10 individual player selections, you’ll have 8 left over. These are your waiver moves for the remainder of the season.
Anyone with a player on their roster at the time a point event is entered into the system by me, your Commissioner, will earn the...

Howdy strange new visitors. You might be coming to us from With Leather, one of my favorite sports blogs. They were kind enough to write about our little Fantasy UnSports game today and I’m humbled.

Anyone interested in great sarcasm and snark related to sporting news should make them a daily read.
So… thanks With Leather. You rock a lot harder than you know.
If you’d like to play our free fantasy football alternative game,...

Hey guys. I created a fun quiz about NFL off-the-field incidents from years gone by. It’s 20 questions. There are some stumpers, but if you follow the NFL you should get most of them.
If you’re already signed up, you’ll get a couple extra waiver moves added to your account as a thank you for taking the quiz. If you’re not already signed up, you can do so in about 30 seconds right here.
Okay, on to the quiz… click here to begin.

Fantasy UnSports has returned, with a huge amount of new changes and features. It’s a regular fantasy football game, except that you earn points for all the off the field crap that players do instead of touchdowns and yards. DUI? 65 Points. Assault? 75 Points. Suspended for two games? 45 Points. You get the idea.
First--we’re now fully automated. While news articles about point events will continue to be published here on the blog, we have automated the game. Players can now sign up, draft their roster, and make waiver moves… all on their own and without me needing...
