We’re roughly two weeks away from the start of the 2010 NFL season and I’m practically giddy. The kick-off game between New Orleans and Minnesota should be excellent.

Chef Diesel’s Fantasy Football Draft Guide
I hated Bill Simmons’ most recent column on how to fix fantasy football. The tone, the excessive pop-culture references, the elitism–I just wasn’t a fan.

There’s a new show coming to FX next week called “The League.” It’s about a group of friends and their fantasy football league. I imagine that the show will hit a little close to home for me. Hopefully the show will be done right and not just some cheap attempt to capitalize on the popularity [...]
