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. Tweet...

If there’s a guy in the NFL who should know to keep his nose clean, it’s Mr. Second Chance himself, Michael Vick.  But instead of keeping his nose clean, he threw himself a birthday party in Virginia at a club.  And some dude got shot. Not just any dude, mind you… but one of Vick’s co-defendants from the dog fighting thing.  Oh, and he was shot outside the club after a confrontation with Vick. Wonderful.  Any chance Marvin Harrison was at this party? Vick will almost certainly be summoned to the commissioner’s office to discuss this latest round of bad judgment and...

Steve Smith is a wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers.  He is also very stupid.  Because he broke his arm this past weekend… and all signs point to it having been broken during a game of adult flag football.  Smith says it was from a fall he suffered at a youth football camp.  Nice, Steve.  Not only lie about your injury, but include a charitable act toward young athletes in your lie. I’d like to know how a guy as famous as Smith really thinks he can keep this kind of truth hidden.  I’d like to know why Smith feels the need to compete with couch potatoes in a game he’s...

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...

What is with the rookies this year?  Golden Tate, who is from Tennessee, actually, had his drunken late-night donut break in… and now Derrick Morgan was arrested for speeding and driving with a suspended license. Did they stop doing that rookie symposium thing where they warn all the new kids about their behavior?  Sheesh. At least, in Morgan’s defense, there don’t appear to be any drugs or alcohol involved.  Just a suspended license.  And speeding.  Not smart, but not a sign of a hooligan-in-the-making either.  This would qualify for points if our scoring had started...

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,...
