Hey guys. Just added a few more infraction events (scoring!) and wanted to tell you about them.
Pete Carroll just earned some points for releasing a book–good timing, Pete… next time, try releasing the book BEFORE the scandal comes out about your previous job. Worth 40 points. I’m sure it’s full of good insight on how to get your championships stripped.
Mike Williams of the Redskins will miss the entire year with a medical condition. Poor guy. That’s 60 points, though.
And Chad Ochocinco has declared this is the year the Bengals will win the Super Bowl–and...

Chad Ochocinco–our most valuable player in last year’s Fantasy UnSports–has landed his owners 80 points on just the second day of the second season, by announcing a reality dating show on VH1. He’ll see women face off against each other in a March Madness style bracket to vie for his affections. It’s called Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch, and yes… it’s darn near perfect.
It makes total sense that the guy who started his own news organization and iPhone app last year would up the ante by pulling a Bret Michaels on us. Chad–there’s no one in the...

That’s right, kids… we’re scoring as of today. Here are your first two PQE’s:
1. Jets coach Rex Ryan–who has only the one year of head coaching experience–is cashing in on his status as one of the more colorful coaches in the league, and has announced a book deal with Doubleday. Wonderful. That’s worth 25 points. Congrats to you Jets owners. You earned the first points of the season.
2. And Sean Payton, the coach of the Super Bowl Champion Saints, is releasing a book. Good for you Sean. 40 points to those of you with Payton on the squad.

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. Without the years of fantastic athlete mockery at With Leather, I may never have been so inspired to build a game around the crazy things athletes do. 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,...

Some people feel bad for Chris Johnson, since he’s due to make $550,000 a year after nearly breaking all the rushing records.
Other people feel bad for the team, since they have a contract and Chris Johnson is refusing to honor it.
Me? I try not to feel sorry for millionaires bickering over half a million dollars.
CI’m just glad the two sides are in opposition to each other, so that I have things we can award points for… like whining on Twitter about not getting paid. Of course, we don’t start scoring for another two weeks, but…
Johnson also displayed fantastic grammar...
